This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the
radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide
communications between two or more users over a
distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio
waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form
of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are
not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however,
should not be confused with these other forms of
electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly,
can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays,
for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and
in
dustry work
with organizations to develop standards
for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards
provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both
workers and the general public. These recommended
RF exposure levels include substantial margins of
protection.
All Motorola two-way radios are designed,
man
ufact
ured, and tested to ensure they meet
government-established RF exposure levels. In
addition, manufacturers also recommend specific
operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These
instructions are important because they inform users
about RF energy exposure and provide simple
procedures on how to control it.
Please refer to the following websites for more

ation on what RF energy exposure is and how to
control your exposure to assure compliance with
established RF exposure limits:

Exposure awareness can be facilitated by
the use of a product label directing users to specific user
awareness information. Your Motorola two-way radio
has a RF Exposure Product Label. Also, your Motorola
user manual, or separate safety booklet includes
information and operating instructions required to
control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance
requirements.
before using this radio, read this
guide which contains important
operating instructions for safe
usage and rf energy awareness
and control for compliance with
applicable standards and
regulations.
