following procedure:
Transmit no more than 50% of the time.
To receive calls, release the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button.
To transmit (talk), press the PTT button 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 exposure decreases 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.
Please refer to the following websites for more information on what
RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure

electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded,
designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic
compatibility.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
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 onboard an
aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable
regulations per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices – Pacemakers, Defibrillators or other
Implanted Medical Devices
Persons with pacemakers, Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators
(ICDs) or other active implantable medical devices (AIMD) should:
Consult with their physicians regarding the potential risk of
interference from radio frequency transmitters, such as
portable radios (poorly shielded medical devices may be more
susceptible to interference).
Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Do not carry the radio in a chest pocket or near the
implantation site, and carry or use the radio on the opposite
side of their body from the implantable device to minimize the
potential for interference.
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.
For Vehicle With Air Bags
Refer to the 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 Atmosphere
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Only radio types that are especially qualified
should be used in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe”. 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.
Note:The areas with potentially explosive atmosphere referred to
above include fueling 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 atmospheres are often – but not always
posted.
Blasting Caps and 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 radios”. 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 touches exposed terminals. The
conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit)
and become hot.
Exercise care when removing AAA batteries. Do not use sharp
or conductive tools to remove these batteries.
Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly
when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with
metal objects.
