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. For information

regarding radio use in a hazardous atmosphere please refer to the Factory Mutual

(FM) Approval Manual Supplement or Instruction Card, which is included with radio

models that offer this capability.

RF Operational Characteristics

Your radio 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

450 MHz to 470 MHz.

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

1 T6200.book Page 5 Tuesday, March 20, 2001 10:41 AM

Safety and General Information

6

• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) of the

United States, Report 86, 1986

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

• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom 1995

• 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 1999

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:

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 the effective range.

1 T6200.book Page 6 Tuesday, March 20, 2001 10:41 AM

Safety and General Information

7

Two-Way Radio Operation

When using your radio as a traditional two-way radio, hold the radio in

a vertical position with the microphone two to three inches (5.0 to

7.5 cm) away from the lips.

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC 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. Use of non-Motorola-

approved accessories may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use

a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least one inch (2.5 cm) from

your body when transmitting.

Approved Accessories

For a list of approved Motorola accessories refer to the Two-Way Radio section of

www.motorola.com/store.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference

(EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for

electromagnetic compatibility.

1 T6200.book Page 7 Tuesday, March 20, 2001 10:41 AM

Safety and General Information

8

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 on board an aircraft. Any use of a

radio must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.

Medical Devices

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum

separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless

radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the

independent research by, and recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers should:

• ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches (15 centimeters) from their pace-

maker 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 you have any reason to suspect that interference

is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some 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.

Other Medical Devices

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 on the use of radios in the area where you drive.

Always obey them.

When using 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.

Operational Warnings

For Vehicles with an Air Bag

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, unless it is a radio type especially qualified for use in such areas as

“Intrinsically Safe” (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, or UL Approved). 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.

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 radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.

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.
