Important Safety InformationEnglishviImportant Safety InformationProduct Safety and RF Exposure ComplianceATTENTION! This radio is restricted to occupational use only to satisfy FCC/ICNIRP RF energy exposure requirements. Before using this product, read the RF energy awareness information and operating instructions in the Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your radio (Motorola Publication part number 6881095C98) to ensure compliance with RF energy exposure limits. For a list of Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and other accessories, visit the following website: http://www.motorolasolutions.com/governmentandenterpriseAny modification to this device, not expressly authorized by Motorola, may void the user’s authority to operate this device.Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communicationFirmware VersionAll the features described in the following sections are supported by the radio's firmware version R02.02.00 or later. See Checking the Firmware Version and Codeplug Version on page 93 to determine your radio's firmware version. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more details of all the features supported.Before using this product, read the operating instructions for safe usage contained in the Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your radio.C a u t i o nNAG-LACR.book  Page vi  Tuesday, January 10, 2012  10:33 AM

Handling PrecautionsEnglishviiiHandling PrecautionsThe MOTOTRBO Series Digital Portable radio meets IP54 specifications. Your radio limits protection against dust and water exposure. •Keep your radio clean and exposure to water should be avoided to help ensure proper functionality and performance.•To clean the exterior surfaces of the radio, use a diluted solution of mild dishwashing detergent and fresh water (i.e. one teaspoon of detergent to one gallon of water).•These surfaces should be cleaned whenever a periodic visual inspection reveals the presence of smudges, grease, and/or grime. RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guidelines and Instructions See more detailed proper usage instructions, warnings and cautions in the Regulatory Compliance and Product Safety Guide.1To ensure a comfortable audio level and compliance with RF energy exposure limits, do not hold against the ear or alongside the head.2Use only in front of the face or with Motorola Solutions approved audio accessories and carry cases to ensure compliance with RF energy exposure limits.The effects on certain chemicals and their vapors can have harmful results on certain plastics. Avoid using aerosol sprays, tuner cleaners and other chemicals.C a u t i o nSee User Manual.NAG-LACR.book  Page viii  Tuesday, January 10, 2012  10:33 AM
Operating PrecautionsEnglishixOperating Precautions•Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. 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).•To protect your hearing, use the lowest volume necessary to do your job, turn down the volume before adding a headset or earpiece, and limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.•User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.NOTE: For more details please read the information about RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and Operational Instructions for Occupational Use in the Quick Reference Guide/Safety Booklet (Motorola Publications number 68009553001) provided with your radio.NAG-LACR.book  Page ix  Tuesday, January 10, 2012  10:33 AM
