Safety and General Information

Important Information on Safe and Efficient Operation Read This Information Before Using Your Radio

The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information contained in user guides published prior to July 2000.

Transmit and Receive Procedure

Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the general population/uncontrolled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedure:

•Transmit no more than 50% of the time.

•To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button.

•To receive calls, release the PTT button.

Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring standards compliance).

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

Your Motorola radio is designed to comply with the following national and international standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy:

•United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR 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 Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999

•Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Exposure) Standard 2003 (applicable to wireless phones only)

•ANATEL, Brasil Regulatory Authority, Resolution 256 (April 11, 2001) "additional requirements for SMR, cellular, and PCS product certification."

To assure optimal radio performance and make sure human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth in the above standards, always adhere to the following procedures.
