EMERGENCY ALARM
Your radio can be programmed to give you a
one-button quick access to call a particular radio
or center (predefined by your dealer) in
emergency situations. This is the Emergency
Alarm.
When you make an Emergency Alarm, your
radio goes into an Emergency state, which can
be programmed to
• continually give visual and audio feed-
back,
• give no audio feedback with optional
visual feedback, or
• give no audio/visual feedback, but the
radio can receive and transmit.
The E icon will light up on the LCD screen,
when your radio is in the Emergency state.
1. Press the Emergency button to initiate an
Emergency Alarm.
2. Press and hold the Emergency button to cancel
the Emergency Alarm.
3. Press and release the Emergency button to
restart the Emergency sequence.
RADIO CALL LIST
The K icon will light up on the LCD screen
when you edit the radio call list.
Note: The radio will not receive any
calls when you are editing the
radio call list.

TALKAROUND
In your communications network, you may be
using a repeater to cover a larger area than what
is possible with your radio. However, you can
communicate with another radio within your
radio’s range without going through the repeater
by using the Talkaround feature. This is
especially useful when the repeater is down. The

If a particular channel receives many unwanted
calls coming from radios that do not belong to
your communications group and some distance
away, or the “background noise” is excessive,
you can try to filter these transmissions out by

are in phone mode.
A complete phone session consists of
• entering the phone mode
• sending the access code
• sending the phone number
• having the phone conversation
• ending the phone call.
Entering the Phone Mode
Before you can make a phone call, you must
enter the radio’s phone mode.
1. Press the Phone button.

SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION
OF MOTOROLA TWO-WAY RADIOS
This document provides information and
instructions for the safe and efficient operation
of Motorola Portable and Mobile Two-Way
Radios.
The information provided in this document
supersedes the general safety information
contained in user guides published prior to 1st.
January 1998.
For information regarding radio use in
hazardous areas, please refer to the Factory
Mutual (FM) approval manual supplement or
Instruction Card which is included with radio
models that offer this capability.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola Two-Way Radio, which
generates and radiates radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy (EME) is designed to
comply with the following National and
International Standards and Guidelines
regarding exposure of human beings to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy:
• Federal Communications Commission
Report and Order No. FCC 96-326
(August 1996)
• American National Standards Institute
(C95.1 - 1992)
• National Council on Radiation Protec-
tion and Measurements (NCRP-1986)
• International Commission on Non-Ioniz-
ing Radiation Protection (ICNRP- 1986)

cal Standardisation (CENELEC):

SAFETY
INFORMATION
To assure optimal radio performance and to
ensure that your exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines
in the above standards, always adhere to the
following procedures:
Portable Radio Operation
And EME Exposure
•When transmitting with a
portable radio, hold radio in
a vertical position with the
microphone 2.5 to 5 centi-
meters (one or two inches)
away from the mouth. Keep
antenna at least 2.5 centime-
ters (one inch) from your
head or body when transmitting.
• If you wear a portable Two-Way radio on
your body, ensure that the antenna is at
least 2.5 centimeters (one inch) from the
body when transmitting.
Electromagnetic
Interference/Compatibility
Note:Nearly every electronic device is susceptible
to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibil-
ity.
• To avoid electromagnetic interference
and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off
your radio in any facility where posted
notices instruct you to do so. Hospital or
health facilities may be using equipment
that is sensitive to external RF energy.
• When instructed to do so, turn off your
radio when on board an aircraft. Any use
of a radio must be in accordance with
airline regulations or crew instructions.

SAFETY
INFORMATION
Operational Warnings
Vehicles with an air bag
• Do not place a portable radio
in the area over an airbag or in the air bag
deployment area. Air bags inflate with
great force. If a portable radio is placed
in the air bag deployment area and the air
bag inflates, the radio may be propelled
with great force and cause serious injury
to occupants of vehicle.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
• Turn off your Two-Way radio when you
are in any area with a potentially explo-
sive atmosphere, unless it is a radio type
especially qualified for use in such areas
(e.g. FM or Cenelec approved). Sparks in
a potentially explosive atmosphere can
cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Batteries
• Do not replace or recharge batteries in a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Con-
tact sparking may occur while installing
or removing batteries and cause an
explosion.
Blasting caps and areas
• To avoid possible interference with blast-
ing operations, turn off your radio when
you are near electrical blasting caps. In a
“blasting area” or in areas posted “turn
off two-way radio”, obey all signs and
instructions.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmo-
spheres referred to above include fuelling
areas such as: below decks on boats; fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust or metal powders; and
any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Areas with potentially explosive atmo-
spheres are often but not always posted.
Operational Cautions
Damaged antennas
• Do not use any portable two-
way radio that has a damaged antenna. If

Batteries
• All batteries can cause property damage
and/or bodily injury such as burns if a
conductive material such as jewellery,
keys or beaded chains touch exposed ter-
minals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short cir-
cuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care
in handling any charged battery, particu-
larly when placing it inside a pocket,
purse or other container with metal
objects.
