IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT

OPERATION.

READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR

INTEGRATED MULTI-SERVICE PORTABLE RADIO.

For the safe and efficient operation of your radio, observe these guidelines:

Your radio product contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The radio operates in the frequency range of 806 MHz to 870 MHz and employs digital modulation techniques. When you communicate with your radio product, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your radio product transmits. The output power level typically may vary over a range from 0.00024 watts to 0.6 watts.

Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy

Your Motorola Radio Product 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) IEEE. C95. 1-1992

•National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). Report 86

•International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998

•National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11, 1988

•Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) DIN-0848

•Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6

To assure optimal radio product 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:

When placing or receiving a phone call, or using the group and private call functions with a Group/Private Speaker OFF (muted speaker icon visible in the display), hold your radio product as you would a telephone. Speak directly into the microphone and position the antenna up and over your shoulder.

When using your radio product as a traditional two-way radio while making group or private calls with the Group/Private Speaker ON (no speaker icon visible in the display), hold the radio product in a vertical position with the microphone one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the lips.

For body-worn operation, with or without an earpiece or any other accessory, the antenna should be kept at least one inch (2.5 cm) from the body when transmitting. A Motorola plastic carry holder

with a belt clip and a leather carry case are available as accessories to this radio product for body-worn use.
