SAFETY INFORMATION
Product Safety and RF Energy Exposure for
Mobile Two-Way Radios Installed in Vehicles
or as Fixed Site Control Stations
Caution
BEFORE USING THIS RADIO, READ THIS INFORMATION WHICH
CONTAINS IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE
AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION FOR
COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE
NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.
The information provided in this document supersedes information contained in user guides,
manuals and other documentation published prior to February 2002.
RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information, and Operational
Instructions for FCC Occupational Use Requirements.
Note: 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 FCC limits. This
radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer or any other use.
This 2-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 organisations 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 2-way radios are designed, manufactured and tested to ensure they meet governmentestablished RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating
instructions to users of 2-way radios. These instructions are important because they inform users
about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.
Please refer to the following Web sites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how
to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Regulations
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for mobile
2-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When 2-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
label directing users to specific user awareness information. Your Motorola 2-way radio has an RF
exposure product label. Do not remove this RF exposure label from the device. 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 Standard
Your Motorola two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and
international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at duty factors of up to 50% talk–50% listen
and is authorised by the FCC for occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance
with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it
is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure
standards and guidelines:
•
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part
2 sub-part J
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95. 1-1992
•
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition
•
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
•
Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency
Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
•
Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation Human Exposure) Standard, 2003
•
ANATEL, Brasil Regulatory Authority, Resolution 256 (April 11, 2001) “additional requirements for
SMR, cellular and PCS product certification.”
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions
To control exposure to yourself and others and to ensure compliance with the RF exposure limits,
always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
•
User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
•
Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
vii
Instructions:
•
Transmit no more that the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the
Push-To-Talk (PTT) button or, for radios equipped with VOX, speak into the microphone. The red
LED will illuminate when the radio is transmitting. To receive calls, release the PTT button or, for
radios equipped with VOX, stop talking. The red LED will extinguish when the radio stops
transmitting. 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).
•
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum
lateral distance away, as shown in Table 1, from the body of a vehicle with a properly
installed antenna. This separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a
properly installed (according to installation instructions) externally-mounted antenna to satisfy
the RF exposure requirements in the standards listed above.
Note: Table 1 below lists the recommended lateral distance for people in an uncontrolled
environment from the body of a vehicle with an approved, properly installed transmitting antenna
(i.e. monopoles over a ground plane, or dipoles) at several different ranges of rated radio power
for mobile radios installed in a vehicle.
Table 1: Rated Power of Vehicle-Installed Mobile Two-Way Radio
and Recommended Minimum Lateral Distance from Vehicle Body

Note: If you are not sure of the rated power of your radio, contact your Motorola representative or
dealer and supply the radio model number found on the radio model label. If you cannot determine
the rated power out, then assure 90cms (3 feet) separation from the body of the vehicle. The
maximum power shown on the FCC Grant may be higher than the rated power allowing for
production variation.
Mobile Antenna Installation Guidelines
•
These mobile antenna installation guidelines are limited to metal body motor vehicles or vehicles
with appropriate ground planes.
•
Antennas should be installed in the centre area of the roof or the trunk lid taking into account the
exposure conditions of backseat passengers and according to the specific instructions and
restrictions in the Radio Installation Manual along with the requirements of the antenna supplier.
•
Trunk lid installations are limited to vehicles with clearly defined flat trunk lids, and in some
cases, to specific radio models and antennas. See the Radio Installation Manual for specific
information on how and where to install specific types of approved antennas to facilitate
recommended operating distances to all potentially exposed persons.

If mobile radio equipment is installed at a fixed location and operated as a control station or as a
fixed unit, the antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order to ensure
optimal performance and compliance with the RF energy exposure limits in the standards and
guidelines listed on previous page:
•
The antenna should be mounted outside the building on the roof or a tower if at all possible.
•
As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee to manage the
site in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and may require additional
compliance actions such as site survey measurements, signage, and site access restrictions in
order to ensure that exposure limits are not exceeded.
•
For additional installation information, see the guidelines for minimum separation distances
provided above in the RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating
Instructions section of this document.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility. It may be
necessary to conduct compatibility testing to determine if any electronic equipment used in or
around vehicles or near fixed site antenna is sensitive to external RF energy or if any procedures
need to be followed to eliminate or mitigate the potential for interaction between the radio transmitter
and the equipment or 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.
ix
Vehicles
To avoid possible interaction between the radio transmitter and any vehicle electronic control
modules, such as, ABS, engine, or transmission controls, the radio should be installed only by an
experienced installer and that the following precautions be used when installing the radio:
1. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or other technical bulletins for recommendations on radio
installation.
2. Before installing the radio, determine the location of the electronic control modules and their
harnesses in the vehicle.
3. Route all radio wiring, including the antenna transmission line, as far away as possible from the
electronic control units and associated wiring.
Driver Safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area where you drive. Always obey
them. When using your radio while driving, please:
•
Give full attention to driving and to the road.
•
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

Caution
OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
For Vehicles With Air Bags
Do not mount or place a mobile radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a 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 Atmospheres
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
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 fuelling 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.
For radios installed in vehicles fueled by liquefied petroleum gas, refer to the (U.S.)
National Fire Protection Association standard, NFPA 58, for storage, handling, and/or
container information. For a copy of the LP-gas standard, NFPA 58, contact the National
Fire Protection Association, One Battery Park, Quincy, MA.
