Warnings, Cautions and Notes

Federal Communication Commission Regulations

The FCC has established limits for safe exposure to radio frequency (RF) emissions from mobile two-way radios. The FCC requires manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with RF exposure limits before mobile 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 education or training through appropriate means such as information and instructions in user manuals or safety booklets, or other appropriate means. 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 radio frequency 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.

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.
