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 in user guides published prior to

December 1, 2002.

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 receive calls, release the PTT button.

•

To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (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 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 Electronics 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,

2003.

•

ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 of July 2, 2002.

•

ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 533 of September 10, 2009.

To ensure 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.

Portable Radio Operation and EME Exposure

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.

Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could

damage the radio and may violate FCC regulations.

Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding

the antenna affects its effective range.

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliances with FCC/Health Canada RF exposure

guidelines if you wear a radio on your body when transmitting

always place the radio in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip

holder, holster, case or body harness for this product. Use of

non-Motorola-approved accessories may exceed FCC/Health

Canada RF exposure guidelines.

If you do not use one of the Motorola-supplied or approved

body-worn accessories and are not using the radio held in the

normal use position,

ensure the radio and its antenna are at

least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from your body when transmitting.

Data Operation

If applicable, when using any data feature of the radio with or

without an accessory cable,

position the radio and its antenna

at least one inch (2.5 cm) from the body.

Approved Audio Accessories

• 53724: Remote Speaker with Push-to-Talk Microphone

• 53725: Headset with Swivel Boom Microphone

• 53727: Earbud with Push-to-Talk Microphone

• 53728: Flexible Ear Receiver

• 56320: Earpiece with Boom Microphone

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

Note:

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to

electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded,

designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic

compatibility. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1.

This device may not cause harmful interference; and

2.

This device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired operation.

IC Canada

The term "IC:" before the equipment certification number only

signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were

met.

Facilities

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility

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.

Aircraft

When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when onboard an

aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with

applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.

Medical Devices – Pacemakers

The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends

that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained

between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker. These

recommendations are consistent with the independent research

by and recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration.

People with pacemakers should:

•

ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 cm) 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 there is any reason to

suspect that interference is taking place.

Medical Devices – Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless 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.

Medical Devices – Other

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.

Safety and General Use While Driving

Check the laws and regulations regarding the use of radios in

the area where you drive, and always obey them. If you do use

your radio while driving, please:

•

Give full attention to driving and to the road.

•

Use hands-free operation, if available.

•

Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call

if driving conditions so require.

The use of a two-way radio while engaged in activities requiring

concentration may cause distraction or otherwise impair your

ability to safely participate in such activities. Always use

technology safely.

Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the

air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a

portable radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the

air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and

cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially

explosive atmosphere. Only radio types that are especially

qualified should be used in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe.”

Do not remove, install or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks

in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or

fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Note:

The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred

to above 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.

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 radios.”

Obey all signs and instructions.

Operational Cautions

Antennas

Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna.

If a

damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor

burn can result.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such

as burns if a conductive material—like 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.

Exercise care when removing NiMH or AA batteries. Do not use

sharp or conductive tools to remove either of these batteries.

Battery Charger Safety Instructions:

Save these Instructions

1.

Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.

2.

Do not operate or disassemble the charger if it has received

a sharp blow, or has been dropped or damaged in any way.

3.

Never alter the AC cord or plug provided with the unit. If the

plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by

a qualified electrician. An improper condition can result in a

risk of electric shock.

4.

To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or plug, pull the

plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger

from the AC receptacle.

5.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from

the outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

6.

Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Motorola

may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.

7.

Make sure the cord is located so it will not be stepped on,

tripped over or subjected to damage or stress.
