Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
National and international regulations require manufacturers to comply
with the RF energy exposure limits for portable two-way radios before they
can be marketed. Your Motorola Solutions two-way radio is designed,
manufactured, and tested to comply with all applicable national and
international regulations for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy.
RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and
Operational Instructions for General Population and Uncontrolled
Environment Use
For more information on what RF energy exposure is, see the following
websites:
• https://www.fcc.gov/
• http://www.who.int/peh-emf/project/en/

FCC Licensing Information
For a Class B digital device or peripheral, the instructions furnished the
user shall include the following or similar statement, placed in a prominent
location in the text of the manual:
Note:This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Operating Instructions
• Transmit no more than 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), press the
Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button.
• Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of the face with the
microphone (and other parts of the radio including the antenna) at
least 1 in. (2.5 cm) away from the nose or lips. Antenna should be
kept away from the eye.
• When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Motorola
Solutions-approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for
this product.
• DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is transmitting.
• 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.
• To ensure continued compliance with applicable RF exposure limits,
use only Motorola Solutions-approved, supplied or replacement
antennas, batteries, and accessories.
• For a list of Motorola Solutions-approved accessories please refer
to your user manual or visit www.motorolasolutions.com
Acoustic Safety
Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may
temporarily or permanently affect your hearing. The louder the volume of
the radio, the sooner your hearing will be affected. Hearing damage from
loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first, and can have a cumulative
effect.
To protect your hearing, follow these precautions:
• 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 putting on a headset or headphones.
• Limit the amount of time you use a headset or headphones at high
volume.
• When using the radio without a headset or headphones, do not place the
speaker of the radio directly against your ear.
Medical Devices
If you use a personal medical device, such as a pacemaker or hearing aid,
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.
Operational Warnings
The following explains the operational warnings:
For Vehicle With Air Bags
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas
Batteries
• Charge your battery using the approved Motorola Solutions charger.
• Use the battery in accordance with its water and/or dust Ingress
Protection (IP) rating.
• Do not discard your battery into a fire.

Repair
Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories
The Motorola Solutions 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 Solutions 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 Solutions-intrinsically safe battery and/or accessory
with the Motorola Solutions-approved radio unit will void the intrinsically
safe approval of that radio unit.

Safety and General Information
Warning:
• 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.
Warning:
• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a potentially
explosive atmosphere could result in a serious injury, or
death. You should only use a certified Intrinsically Safe
radio in potentially explosive atmospheres.
• Explosive atmospheres refer to hazard classified
locations that may contain hazardous gas, vapors, dusts,
such as fueling areas below decks on boats, fuel, or
chemical transferor 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.
• Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere unless it is a radio type
specifically certified for use in hazardous location areas.
• DO NOT remove, install, or charge batteries in such
areas, or remove or install antennas. Sparks in a
potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion
or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Warning: 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.
Warning:
Repairs to a Motorola Solutions intrinsically safe radio
product certified by, for example, FM, UL, CSA,
CENELEC, should only be done at a location that has
been audited under the certifying body's repair and
service
standard.
Contact Motorola Solutions for assistance regarding
repairs and service of Motorola Solutions intrinsically safe
equipment.
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.
The European Union's WEEE directive requires that
products sold into EU countries must have the crossed
out trash bin label on the product (or the package in some
cases). As defined by the WEEE directive, this cross-out
trash bin label means that customers and end-users in EU
countries should not dispose of electronic and electrical
equipment or accessories in household waste. Customers
or end-users in EU countries should contact their local
equipment supplier representative or service centre for
information about the waste collection system in their
country.
