Important Safety Information
To assure optimal performance and that human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is
within the guidelines set forth in the above standards,
always adhere to the following procedures:
Portable Radio Operation and EME Exposure
•When transmitting with the radio,
hold it in a vertical position with
its microphone 1 to 2 inches (2.5
to 5.0 centimeters) away from
your mouth. Keep the antenna at
least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters)
from your head and body.
•If you wear the radio on your body, ensure that the
antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your
body when transmitting.
•For body-worn operation, the antenna should be kept
at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from the body when
transmitting.
•DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN
USE.” Holding the antenna affects call quality and
may cause the radio to operate at a higher power
level than needed.
Electromagnetic Interference / Compatibility
OTE:
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 compatibil-
ity 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.

Important Safety Information
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker. These recommendations
are consistent with the independent research by, and
recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research.
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 you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital 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.

Important Safety Information
Operational Warnings
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio when you are in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a type
especially qualified for use in such areas (for example,
Factory Mutual Approved). Sparks in a potentially
explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
OTE:
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
referred to include fueling areas such as: below
decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders; and
any other area where you would normally be advised
to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres are often but not always
posted.
Batteries
Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while
installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.
Blasting Caps and 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.

Important Safety Information
Operational Cautions
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 touch 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.
Portable Radio Care
•Avoid physical abuse of your radio such as carrying it
by the antenna or remote microphone.
•Wipe the battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to
remove dirt, grease, or other material which may
prevent good electrical connections.
•When not in use, keep the accessory jack covered
with the protective cap.
•Clean the radio exterior using a cloth moistened with
water.
AUTION:
Use of chemicals such as detergents, alcohol,
aerosol spray, and/or petroleum products may be
harmful and damage the housing and cover.
Batteries and Chargers
MPORTANT:
The battery is shipped from the factory
uncharged and must be charged before use.
Charging Batteries
To ensure peak performance, batteries should be fully
charged before use and periodically thereafter. The
battery lasts approximately 40 hours when fully charged.
!
!C
I
30
Important Safety Information
Standard use has a 5-5-90 duty cycle. This means
during normal use, the average user transmits 5%,
receives 5%, and remains in battery conservation mode
90% of the time. If the unit is continuously transmitting
and receiving, battery life will be approximately 5 hours.
A battery conversation time of up to 300 hours is
achievable between charging cycles.
Please observe the following precautions while handling
and charging batteries:
Charging Temperatures
Charging batteries in cold temperatures
(below 45˚F) can result in electrolyte
leakage and may destroy the battery.
Charging in hot temperatures (above 95˚F)
will not damage the battery, but will reduce
charge capacity. Charge batteries at
approximately 77˚F.
ARNING:
To reduce risk of injury, charge only Motorola
NiMH type rechargeable batteries listed. Other
types of batteries may burst, causing personal
injury and damage.
Recharging NiMH Batteries
Recharge the battery before use to ensure optimum
capacity and performance. Your battery was designed to
be used only with a Motorola charger, specifically
designed for your Radio. Charging in non-Motorola
