Safety and General Information 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 is an accessory to this radio product for body-worn use. When using any data feature of the radio product, with or without an accessory cable, position the antenna of the radio product at least one inch (2.5 cm) from the body. DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is "IN USE". Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the radio product to operate at a higher power level than needed. Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your radio product. Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers should: • ALWAYS keep the radio product more than six inches from the pacemaker when the radio product is turned ON. • Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket. • Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. • Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place. Hearing Aids Some radio products may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives. 67

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 is an accessory to
this radio product for body-worn use.
When using any data feature of the radio product, with or without an accessory
cable, position the antenna of the radio product at least one inch (2.5 cm) from
the body.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE”. Holding the antenna
affects call quality and may cause the radio product to operate at a higher power
level than needed.
Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your radio product.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•
ALWAYS keep the radio product more than six inches from the pacemaker
when the radio product is turned ON.
•
Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket.
•
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
•
Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some radio products may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
