English Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry 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, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government-established RF exposure levels.
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) I Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1992 • Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.
English RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/ controlled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures. Guidelines: • Do not remove the RF Exposure label from the device. • 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.
Approved Accessories • Use only Motorola-approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories. Use of non-Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed the FCC (IEEE) and ICNIRP RF exposure guidelines. • For a list of Motorola-approved accessories, visit the following website, which lists approved accessories for your radio model: http://www.motorola.com/business.

English 032374o WARNING potentially explosive atmosphere unless it is a portable radio type especially qualified for use in such areas as Intrinsically Safe (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, or CENELEC). 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.
Operational Cautions Antennas DO NOT use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with WARNING 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 such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot.
Operational Cautions for Intrinsic Safe Equipment English 032374o WARNING • DO NOT operate radio communications equipment in a hazardous atmosphere unless it is a type especially qualified (for example, FM, UL, CSA, or CENELEC approved). An explosion or fire may result. • DO NOT operate a radio unit that has been approved as intrinsically safe product in a hazardous atmosphere if it has been physically damaged (for example, cracked housing). An explosion or fire may result.
A modification changes the unit’s hardware from its original design configuration. Modifications can only be made by the original product manufacturer. WARNING • DO NOT replace or change accessories in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing accessories and cause an explosion or fire. • Turn the radio OFF before removing or installing a battery or accessory. • DO NOT disassemble an intrinsically safe product in any way that exposes the internal circuits of the unit.
English A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it back to its original condition. Items not considered as repairs are those in which an action is performed on a unit which does not require the outer casing of the unit to be opened in a manner that exposes the internal electrical circuits of the unit.
