Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your Motorola two-way radio is designed and tested to
comply with a number of national and International
standards and guidelines (listed below) for human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy.
This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP
exposure limits for general population/uncontrolled
RF exposure environments at operating duty factors
of up to 50% talk-50% listen. In terms of measuring RF
energy for compliance with these exposure guidelines,
your radio generates measurable RF energy only
while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is
receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Note: The approved batteries, supplied with this radio,
are rated for a 5-5-90 duty factor (5% talk-5%
listen-90% standby) even though this radio
complies with FCC general population/
uncontrolled exposure limits and may operate at
duty factors of up to 50% talk.
Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the
following RF energy exposure standards and
guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission
(FCC), Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR et seq. &
FCC, OET Bulletin 65
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
C95.1
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP)
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6 & Industry
Canada RSS-102
• Australian Communications Authority
Radiocommunications Standard et seq.
• ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 et seq.
RF Exposure Compliance and Control
Guidelines and Operating Instructions for
Two-Way Radio Operations
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with
the general population/uncontrolled environments
exposure limits, always adhere to the following
guidelines:
• User awareness instructions should accompany device
when transferred to other users.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements
described herein are not met.
Two-Way Radio Operation
• Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the
time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT)
button. To receive calls, release the PTT button.
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important
because this radio generates measurable RF energy
exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring
for standards compliance).
• In front of the face. Hold the radio in a
vertical position with the microphone
(and other parts of the radio including
the antenna) at least one inch (2.5
centimeters) away from the nose or lips.
Keeping the radio at a proper distance
is important to ensure compliance.
Note: RF exposures decrease with increasing distance
from the antenna.
• Body Worn Operation. When worn on the body, always
place the radio in a Motorola-approved clip, holder,
holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using
approved body-worn accessories is important because
the use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may
result in exposure levels, which exceed the general
