RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information
and Operational Instructions for Occupational Use
NOTICE: 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 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. 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.
English
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
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. 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 approved 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.
English
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 occupational 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 occupational/controlled
environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures.
• DO NOT remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to
other users.
English
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 nonMotorola-approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed
the occupational/controlled 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).

following website: http://www.motorolasolutions.com/governmentandenterprise
English
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.
English
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.
English
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:
WARNING
English
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)
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
WARNING
(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.
English
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
Caution
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.
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, or
Cenelec) 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.
English
10
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 approved). An explosion or fire may result.
C a u t i o n • DO NOT operate a radio unit that has been approved as intrinsically
safe product in a hazardous 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). 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 its original design configuration.
Modifications can only be made by the original product manufacturer.
11
English
• 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.
W A R N I N G • 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 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 of any intrinsically safe Agencyapproved 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
REPAIRS FOR MOTOROLA PRODUCTS WITH INTRINSICALLY
SAFE APPROVAL ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.
WARNING
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.
English
12
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.
