For the Safe and Efficient Operation of Your Radio,
Observe These Guidelines:
Your radio product contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is
ON
,
it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The radio
operates in the frequency range of 806 MHz to 870 MHz and employs
digital modulation techniques. When you communicate with your radio
product, the system handling your call controls the power level at which
your radio product transmits. The output power level typically may vary
over a range from 0.00024 watts to 0.6 watts.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola Radio Product is designed to comply with the following
national and international standards and guidelines regarding exposure
of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of
Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95. 1-1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP). Report 86
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1998
• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom,
GS 11, 1988
• Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) DIN-0848
• Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6

Safety and General Information
To assure optimal radio product performance and make sure human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the
guidelines set forth in the above standards, always adhere to the
following procedures:
When placing or receiving a phone call, or using the group and private
call functions with a Group/Private Speaker OFF (muted speaker icon
visible in the display), hold your radio product as you would a
telephone. Speak directly into the microphone and position the antenna
up and over your shoulder.
When using your radio product as a traditional
two-way radio while making group or private calls
with the Group/Private Speaker ON (no speaker
icon visible in the display), hold the radio product
in a vertical position with the microphone one to
two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the lips.
For body-worn operation, with or without an
earpiece or any other accessory, the antenna should
be kept at least one inch (2.5 cm) from the body
when transmitting. A Motorola plastic carry holder with a belt clip is
available as an accessory to this radio product for body-worn use.
When using any data feature of the radio product, with or without an
accessory cable, position the antenna of the radio product at least one
inch (2.5 cm) from the body.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE”. Holding the
antenna affects call quality and may cause the radio product to operate
at a higher power level than needed.
Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However,
certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your
radio product.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio product more than six inches from the
pacemaker when the radio product is turned ON.
• Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket.

i500plus UserÕs Guide
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
• Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some radio products 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 external RF
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your radio product OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.
Interference to Other Electronic Devices
RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or representative to determine if these
systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Also check
with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the
vehicle.
Turn your radio product OFF before boarding any aircraft to prevent
possible interference to aircraft systems. Regulations of the United
States Federal Communications Commission prohibit use when the
plane is airborne. The United States Department of Transportation
regulations require you have permission from a crew member to use
your radio product while the plane is on the ground.
Safety and General
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the
area where you drive. Always obey them.
When using the radio product while driving, please:
• 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 so require.

Safety and General Information
OPERATIONAL
WARNINGS
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn off your radio product when you are in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio product type
especially qualified for use in such areas (for example, Factory
Mutual Approved). 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 atmospheres 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.
Batteries
Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or
removing batteries and cause an explosion.
BLASTING CAPS AND AREAS
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off
your radio product 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.
FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN AIR BAG
Do NOT place objects, including both installed and portable
wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. An air bag inflates with great force. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.

Cleaning Instructions
Clean the external surfaces of the radio product with a damp cloth, using
a mild solution of dishwashing detergent and water. Some household
cleaners may contain chemicals that could seriously damage the radio
product. Avoid the use of any petroleum-based solvent cleaners. Also,
avoid applying liquids directly on the radio product.
Antenna Considerations
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the
radio product, or result in violation of local agency regulations.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
DAMAGED ANTENNAS
Do not use any portable radio product 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 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.
