Safety and General Information9Product Safety and RF Exposure for Portable Two-Way RadiosThe information provided in this document supersedes information contained in user guides published prior to February 2002.RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and Operational Instructions for Occupational UseNote: This radio is intended for use inoccupational/controlled conditions where usershave full knowledge of their exposure and canexercise control over their exposure to meet theoccupational limits in FCC/ICNIRP andInternational standards. This radio device is NOTauthorized for general population consumer useThis two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material. Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general public. BEFORE USING THIS RADIO, READ THIS INFORMATION WHICH CONTAINS IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS. ALSO READ THE OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE. FOR RADIOS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED AS INTRINSICALLY SAFE, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION ON INTRINSIC SAFETY ON PAGE 15.!C a u t i o n6864110R04b.book Page 9 Friday, October 20, 2006 4:38 PM
Safety and General Inforation10These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of protection.All Motorola two-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government-established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits:http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.htmlFederal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations (US markets only)The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for portable two-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a product label directing users to specific user awareness information. Your Motorola two-way radio has a RF Exposure Product Label. Do not remove this RF Exposure Label from the device. Also, your Motorola user manual, or separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements. Compliance with RF Exposure StandardsYour Motorola two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and International standards and guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors of up to 50% talk-50% listen and is authorized by the IEEE/ICNIRP for occupational use only. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with these exposure guidelines, your radio generates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.6864110R04b.book Page 10 Friday, October 20, 2006 4:38 PM
Safety and General Information11Note: The approved batteries, supplied with thisradio, are rated for a 5-5-90 duty cycle (5% talk–5% listen–90% standby), even though this radiocomplies with IEEE/ICNIRP occupational exposurelimits at usage factors of up to 50% talk.Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999•Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation – Human Exposure) Standard, 2003 • ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 of July 2, 2002 "Regulation of limitation of exposure to electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields in the radio frequency range between 9 KHz and 300 GHz" and "Attachment to resolution # 303 from July 2, 2002"RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating InstructionsTo control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures:Guidelines:• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.• Do not use this device if the operational require-ments described herein are not met.Operating Instructions• Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time.

Safety and General Information15charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.INTRINSICALLY SAFE RADIO INFORMATION The Intrinsically safe approval unit refers to a product that has been approved as intrinsically safe by an approval agency (for example FM Approvals, CSA, UL, CENELEC or ATEX) and certifies that a particular product meets the Agency's applicable intrinsic safety standards for specific types of hazardous classified locations. A portable radio that has been approved for intrinsic safety will have Approval label attached to the radio to identify the unit as being Approved for specified hazardous atmospheres. This label specifies the hazardous Class/Division/Group along with the part number of the battery that must be used. The Intrinsically Safe Approval Label will be located on the portable radio unit.Operational Cautions for Intrinsic Safe Equipment• Do not operate radio communications equipment in a hazardous atmosphere unless it is a type especially qualified (for example, FM, UL, CSA, or CENELEC or ATEX approved). An explosion or fire may result. • Do not operate a radio unit that has been approved as intrinsically safe product in a hazard-ous atmosphere if it has been physically damaged (for example, cracked housing). An explosion or fire may result.Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion or fire.Warnings for Radios Approved as Intrinsically SafeRadios must ship from the Motorola manufacturing facility with the hazardous atmosphere capability and the intrinsic safety approval labelling (FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC or ATEX). Radios will not be upgraded to this capability and labeled once they have been shipped to the field. A modification changes the unit’s hardware from it’s original design made by the original product. • Do not replace or change accessories in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing accessories and cause an explosion or fire.• Turn the radio off before removing or installing a battery or accessory.• Do not disassemble an intrinsically safe product in any way that exposes the internal circuits of the unit.• Failure to use an intrinsically safe approved battery or Approved accessories specifically approved for the radio unit may !WARNING6864110R04b.book Page 15 Friday, October 20, 2006 4:38 PM
Safety and General Inforation16result in the dangerously unsafe condition of an unapproved radio combination being used in a hazardous location.• Unauthorized or incorrect modification of the intrinsically safe approved Product will negate the approval rating of the product.• Incorrect repair or relabeling or any intrinsically safe Agency-approved radio could adversely affect the Approval rating of the unit.• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a hazardous atmosphere could result in serious injury or death.Repair A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it back to its original condition. Items not considered as repairs are those in which an action is performed on a unit which does not require the outer casing of the unit to be opened in a manner which exposes the internal electrical circuits of the unit.Do Not Substitute Options or AccessoriesThe Motorola communications equipment certified as intrinsically safe by the approving agency, (FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC or ATEX) is tested as a complete system which consists of the listed agency Approved portable, Approved battery, and Approved accessories or options, or both. This Approved portable and battery combination must be strictly observed. There must be no substitution of items, even if the substitute has been previously Approved with a different Motorola communications equipment unit. Approved configurations are listed by the Approving Agency (FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC or ATEX).The Intrinsically Safe Approval Label affixed to radio refers to the intrinsically safe classification of that radio product, and the approved batteries that can be used with that system. The manual PN referenced on the Intrinsically Safe Approval Label identifies the approved Accessories and or options that can be used with that portable radio unit. Using a non Motorola intrinsically safe battery and or accessory with the Motorola approved radio unit will void the intrinsically safe approval of that radio unit. REPAIRS FOR MOTOROLA PRODUCTS WITH INTRINSICALLY SAFE APPROVAL ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.• Repairs to a Motorola FM approved radio product should only be done at a location that has been FM audited under the FM 3605 repairs and service standard.• Contact Motorola for assistance regarding repairs and service of Motorola intrinsically safe equipment.!WARNING6864110R04b.book Page 16 Friday, October 20, 2006 4:38 PM
