Lauderdale, FL 33322 Printed in U.S.A. 07/02. All Rights Reserved. 68P81095C98-O English Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations The FCC has established limits for safe exposure to radio frequency (RF) emissions from portable two-way radios. The FCC requires manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with RF exposure limits before portable two-way radios can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios are approved for occupational/ controlled environment exposure limits, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of, and exercise control over, their exposure. Awareness and control of RF exposure can be accomplished by the use of labels, or by education and training through appropriate means, such as information and instructions in user manuals or safety booklets. Your Motorola two-way radio has an RF exposure information label in the battery compartment. This user safety booklet includes useful information about RF exposure and helpful instructions on how to control your RF exposure. 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 RF electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at usage factors of up to 50% talk–50% listen. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with FCC exposure guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode. NOTE: The approved batteries, supplied with this radio, are rated for a 5-5-90 duty cycle (5% talk–5% listen–90% standby), even though this radio complies with FCC occupational exposure limits at usage factors of up to 50% talk. English Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines: • United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR 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, 2001 • ANATEL, Brasil Regulatory Authority, Resolution 256 (April 11, 2001) “additional requirements for SMR, cellular and PCS product certification.” Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions for Portable Two-Way Radios To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/ controlled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures: • Transmit no more than 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the PushTo-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time or less is important since the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring standards compliance). English • 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 one to two inches (2.5 to 5 centimeters) away from the lips. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important since RF exposures decrease with distance from the antenna. • For body-worn operation, always place the radio in a Motorola-approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using non– Motorola-approved accessories may result in exposure levels which exceed the FCC’s occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits. • If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio in the intended use position in front of the face, ensure the antenna and the radio are kept one inch (2.5 centimeters) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important since RF exposures decrease with distance from the antenna. • Use only Motorola-approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories. Use of non–Motorola-approved antennas, batteries and accessories may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines. For a list of Motorolaapproved antennas, batteries, and other accessories, visit the following web site which lists approved accessories: http://www.motorola.com/cgiss/twowayradio.shtml For additional information on exposure requirements or other training information, visit http://www.motorola.com/rfhealth. English Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility. 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 on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio 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 handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Persons with pacemakers should: • ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON. • Not carry the radio in the breast pocket. • Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. • Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place. English 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. 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. • Use hands-free operation, if available. • Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. English Operational Warnings For Vehicles With an Air Bag WARNING 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 Atmospheres Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a portable radio type especially qualified for use in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe” (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, or CENELEC). 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. 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, 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. English 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 Caution 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 touches 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. English Intrinsically Safe Radio Information FMRC Approved Equipment Anyone intending to use a radio in a location where hazardous concentrations of flammable materials exist (hazardous atmosphere) is advised to become familiar with the subject of intrinsic safety and with the National Electric Code NFPA 70 (National Fire Protection Association) Article 500 (hazardous [classified] locations). An Approval Guide, issued by Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FMRC), lists manufacturers and the products approved by FMRC for use in such locations. FMRC has also issued a voluntary approval standard for repair service (“Class Number 3605”). FMRC Approval labels are attached to the radio to identify the unit as FM being FMRC Approved for specified hazardous atmospheres. This label specifies the hazardous Class/Division/Group along with the part number of the battery that must be used. Depending on the design of the portable unit, this FM label can be found on the back or the bottom of the radio housing. The FM Approval Mark is shown here. APPROVED WARNING • Do not operate radio communications equipment in a hazardous atmosphere unless it is a type especially qualified (for example, FM Approved) for such use. An explosion or fire may result. • Do not operate an FMRC Approved product in a hazardous atmosphere if it has been physically damaged (for example, cracked housing). An explosion or fire may result. • Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion or fire. English ! WARNING • Do not replace or change accessories in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing accessories and cause an explosion or fire. • Turn the radio off before removing or installing a battery or accessory. • Do not disassemble an FMRC Approved Product in any way that exposes the internal circuits of the unit. Radios must ship from the Motorola manufacturing facility with the hazardous atmosphere capability and FM Approval labeling. Radios will not be “upgraded” to this capability and labeled in the field. A modification changes the unit’s hardware from its original design configuration. Modifications can only be made by the original product manufacturer at one of its FMRC-audited manufacturing facilities. WARNING English • Failure to use an FMRC Approved Product with an FMRC Approved battery or FMRC Approved accessories specifically approved for that product may result in the dangerously unsafe condition of an unapproved radio combination being used in a hazardous location. • Unauthorized or incorrect modification of an FMRC Approved Product will negate the Approval rating of the product. 10 Repair of FMRC Approved Products REPAIRS FOR MOTOROLA PRODUCTS WITH FMRC APPROVAL ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER. You should not repair or relabel any Motorola-manufactured communication equipment bearing the FMRC Approval label (“FMRC Approved Product”) unless you are familiar with the current FMRC Approval standard for repairs and service (“Class Number 3605”). You may want to consider using a repair facility that operates under 3605 repair service approval. WARNING • Incorrect repair or relabeling of any FMRC Approved Product could adversely affect the Approval rating of the unit. • Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a hazardous atmosphere could result in serious injury or death. The FMRC’s Approval Standard Class Number 3605 is subject to change at any time without notice to you. You may want to obtain a current copy of 3605 from the FMRC. Per the December 1994 publication of 3605, some key definitions and service requirements are as follows: Repair A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it back to its original condition—Approved by FMRC. A repair should be done in an FMRC Approved repair facility. 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. You do not have to be an FMRC Approved repair facility to perform these actions. 11 English Relabeling The repair facility shall have a method by which the replacement of FMRC Approval labels are controlled to ensure that any relabeling is limited to units that were originally shipped from the manufacturer with an FM Approval label in place. FMRC Approval labels shall not be stocked by the repair facility. An FMRC Approval label shall be ordered from the original manufacturer, as needed, to repair a specific unit. Replacement labels may be obtained and applied by the repair facility, provided there is satisfactory evidence that the unit being relabeled was originally an FMRC Approved unit. Verification may include, but is not limited to a unit with a damaged Approval label, a unit with a defective housing displaying an Approval label, or a customer invoice indicating the serial number of the unit and purchase of an FMRC Approved model. Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories The Motorola communications equipment certified by Factory Mutual is tested as a system and consists of the FM Approved portable, FM Approved battery, and FM Approved accessories or options, or both. This FM 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 communications equipment unit. Approved configurations are listed in the FM Product Listing Manual that was included with your radio. English 12
