SAFETY AND GENERAL

INFORMATION

IMPORTANT! Read this information before using your portable.

RADIO OPERATION

Your portable’s radio component contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives, and also transmits, radio frequency (RF) energy. The radio operates in the frequency range of 806MHz to 866MHz, and employs digital modulation techniques. When you use your radio, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your radio transmits. The power level may typically vary over a range from 0.01 of a watt to 0.6 of a watt.

•EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY

In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards* previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of your Motorola two-way radio complies with the FCC guidelines and these standards.

*American National Standards Institute (C95.1 - 1992)

*National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP-1986)

*International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP- 1986)

To assure optimal radio performance and to ensure that exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines in the above standards, follow the operating procedures outlined below.

•EFfiCIENT RADIO OPERATION

The following practices will enable your radio to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with satisfactory call quality.

When placing or receiving a phone call, or using the group or private call functions with the Group/Private Speaker OFF (muted speaker icon visible in the display), hold the radio as you would a telephone.
