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:

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.

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.
