Product Safety and RF Energy Exposure Booklet for Portable Data Computers with
Two-Way Radios
This two-way radio handheld data computer uses electromagnetic energy in the ra-
dio 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 re-
ceive information. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms in-
clude, 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 im-
properly, 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 organiza-
tions 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 radio products are designed, manufactured, and tested to en-
sure they meet government-established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufac-
turers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radio
products. These instructions are important because they inform users about RF en-
ergy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.
Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy ex-
posure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established
RF exposure limits:

CAUTION
Operating Instructions
•Hold the handheld data computer in a vertical position in front of the face with
the microphone (and other parts of the computer) at least one inch (2.5 centi-
meters) away from the nose or lips. Keeping the handheld data computer at a
proper distance is important since RF exposures decrease with increasing dis-
tance from the antenna.
•When worn on the body, always place the handheld data computer in a Motor-
ola-approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product.
Using approved bodyworn accessories is important because the use of non-
Motorola-approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed
the FCC environment RF exposure limits.
Approved Accessories
Use only Motorola-approved supplied or replacement batteries and accessories.
Use of Non-Motorola approved batteries and accessories may exceed the FCC
(IEEE) and ICNIRP RF exposure guidelines.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference
(EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnet-
ic compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your
handheld data computer in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to exter-
nal RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your handheld data computer when on board an
aircraft. Any use of a handheld data computer 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 hand-
held wireless radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with
Persons with pacemakers should:
•ALWAYS keep the handheld data computer more than 6 inches (15 centime-
ters) from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
•Not carry the handheld data computer in the breast pocket.
•Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
•Turn the handheld data computer 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 de-
vice 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 using the handheld data computer, if driving
