49Safety InformationEnglishSAFETY INFORMATIONSAFETY INFORMATIONSAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION OF MOTOROLA TWO-WAY RADIOSThis 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 EnergyYour 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)• European Committee for Electrotechni-cal Standardisation (CENELEC):•ENV 50166-1 1995 EHuman exposure to electro-magnetic fields Low fre-quency (0 Hz to 10 kHz) •ENV 50166-2 1995 EHuman exposure to electro-magnetic fields High fre-quency (10 kHz to 300 GHz)#WarisPreUser.book Page 49 27, May 1998, 9:44 AM
Safety Information50EnglishSAFETY INFORMATIONTo 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 OperationAnd 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.ElectromagneticInterference/CompatibilityNote: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.•Proceedings of SC211/B 1996“Safety Considerations for Human Exposure to EMFs from Mobile Telecommuni-cation Equipment (MTE) in the Frequency Range 30MHz - 6 GHz.”(EMF - Electro-Magnetic Fields)MAN WITH RADIO#WarisPreUser.book Page 50 27, May 1998, 9:44 AM
51Safety InformationEnglishSAFETY INFORMATIONOperational WarningsVehicles 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 CautionsDamaged antennas• Do not use any portable two-way radio that has a damaged antenna. If !W A R N I N G!!C a u t i o n#WarisPreUser.book Page 51 27, May 1998, 9:44 AM
Safety Information52EnglishSAFETY INFORMATIONa damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.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.#WarisPreUser.book Page 52 27, May 1998, 9:44 AM
