Product Safety and RF Exposure for
Portable Two-Way Radios
The 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 Use
Note: This radio is intended for use in
occupational/controlled conditions where users
have full knowledge of their exposure and can
exercise control over their exposure to meet the
occupational limits in FCC/ICNIRP and
International standards. This radio device is NOT
authorized for general population consumer use
This 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

These 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.html
Federal 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
Standards
Your 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 Information

Note: The approved batteries, supplied with this
radio, are rated for a 5-5-90 duty cycle (5% talk–
5% listen–90% standby), even though this radio
complies with IEEE/ICNIRP occupational exposure
limits 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 Instructions
To 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. To transmit (talk), push the Push-
To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the
PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less,
is important because this radio generates measur-
able RF energy exposure only when transmitting
(in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
• When worn on the body, always place the radio in
6864110R04b.book Page 11 Friday, October 20, 2006 4:38 PM
Safety and General Inforation

a Motorola-approved clip, holder, holster, case, or
body harness for this product. Using approved
body-worn accessories is important because the
use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may
result in exposure levels, which exceed the IEEE/
ICNIRP occupational/controlled environment RF
exposure limits.
•If you are not using a body-worn accessory and
are not using the radio in the intended use posi-
tion, along side the head in the phone mode
(TETRA only), in front of the face in the hand
held mode, then ensure the antenna and the
radio are kept 2.5 cm (one inch) from the body
when transmitting. Keeping the radio at a
proper distance is important because RF expo-
sures decrease with increasing distance from
the antenna.
Hand-held Mode - Operating Instructions
• Hold the radio in a vertical position in
front of the face with the microphone
(and other parts of the radio includ-
ing the antenna) at least 2.5 cm (one
inch) away from the nose or lips.
Antenna should be kept away from the eye. Keep-
ing the radio at a proper distance is important
since RF exposures decrease with increasing dis-
tance from the antenna.
Phone Mode (TETRA only) - Operating
Instructions
• When placing or receiving a phone call, hold
your radio product as you would a wireless
telephone. Speak directly into the microphone.
Approved Accessories
• Use only Motorola-approved supplied or replace-
ment antennas, batteries, and accessories. Use of
non–Motorola - approved antennas, batteries and
accessories may exceed IEEE/ICNIRP RF expo-
sure guidelines.
For a list of Motorola-approved accessories, visit
the following website, which lists approved acces-
sories for your radio model.

When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when
on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in
accordance with applicable regulations per airline
crew instructions.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association
(AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum
separation of 15 cms (6 inches) be maintained
between a handheld wireless radio and a
pacemaker.These recommendations are
consistent with those of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15 cms from
their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize
the potential for interference.
Turn the radio OFF immediately if you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your hearing
aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device,
consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from RF
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in
obtaining this information.
Use of Communication Devices While
Driving
Always check the laws and regulations on the use
of radios in the areas where you drive.
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or
answering a call, if driving conditions or regula-
tions so require.

OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
For Vehicles With Air Bags
Refer to vehicle manufacturer's
manual prior to installation of
electronic equipment to avoid
interference with air bag wiring.
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air
bag 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 the
vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
(Explosive atmospheres refers to hazard
classified locations that may contain hazardous
gas, vapors, or dusts.)
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a
radio type especially qualified for use in such areas
as "Intrinsically Safe" (for example, Factory Mutual,
CSA, UL, CENELEC or ATEX Approved). Do not
remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas.
Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death.
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
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. Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres are often but not always posted.
Blasting Caps And Blasting Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting
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.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
Antennas
Do not use any portable radio that has a
damaged antenna. If a 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 terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any

charged 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 Safe
Radios 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

Safety and General Inforation
16
result 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
Accessories
The 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.
