RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT
SAFETY GUIDE PORTABLE TWO WAY
RADIOS, GENERAL POPULATION AND
UNCONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS
RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control
Information and Operational Instructions for
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. 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:

Federal Communication Commission (FCC)
Regulations (US Markets Only)
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. 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.
before using this radio, read this
guide which contains important
operating instructions for safe
usage and rf energy awareness
and control for compliance with
applicable standards and
regulations.
ATTENTION!

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 general population/uncontrolled
RF exposure environments at operating duty factors
of up to 50% talk-50% listen. 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.
Note: The approved batteries, supplied with this radio,
are rated for a 5-5-90 duty factor (5% talk-5%
listen-90% standby) even though this radio
complies with FCC general population/
uncontrolled exposure limits and may operate at
duty 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
(FCC), Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR et seq. &
FCC, OET Bulletin 65
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
C95.1
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP)
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6 & Industry
Canada RSS-102
• Australian Communications Authority
Radiocommunications Standard et seq.
• ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 et seq.
RF Exposure Compliance and Control
Guidelines and Operating Instructions for
Two-Way Radio Operations
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with
the general population/uncontrolled environments
exposure limits, always adhere to the following
guidelines:
• User awareness instructions should accompany device
when transferred to other users.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements
described herein are not met.
Two-Way Radio Operation
• 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 measurable RF energy
exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring
for standards compliance).
•
In front of the face. Hold the radio in a
vertical position with the microphone
(and other parts of the radio including
the antenna) at least one inch (2.5
centimeters) away from the nose or lips.
Keeping the radio at a proper distance
is important to ensure compliance.
Note: RF exposures decrease with increasing distance
from the antenna.
• Body Worn Operation.
When worn on the body, always
place the radio in 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 general
3
English
population/uncontrolled environment RF exposure
limits.
• Use only Motorola-approved supplied or replacement
antennas, batteries, and audio accessories. Use of non-
Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and accessories
may exceed the applicable RF exposure guidelines (iEEE,
ICNIRP or FCC).

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or
compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility
where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft
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 6
inches (15 centimeters) 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 6 inches (15
centimeters) 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 there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radios may interfere with 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 regulations so require.

Acoustic Safety
Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended
periods of time may temporarily or permanently affect
your hearing. The louder the radio's volume, the less
time is required before your hearing could be affected.
Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes
undetectable at first and can have a cumulative effect.
To protect your hearing:
• Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
• Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.
• Turn down the volume before adding headset or earpiece.
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at
high volume.
When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do
not place the radio's speaker directly against your ear.
OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
For Vehicle 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.

OPERATIONAL WARNINGS (CONTINUED) Operational Cautions
Repair
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 portable radio
type especially qualified for use in such
areas as Intrinsically Safe (for example,
Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, or CENELEC).
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
fueling areas such as below decks on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, and 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.
W A R N I N G
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 jewelry,
keys, or beaded chains touches
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.
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.

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 that
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) 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).
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.
European Union (EU) Waste of
Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) directive
