LACR-NAG-QRG.fm Page 1 Wednesday, April 24, 2013 11:47 AM RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety for Portable Two-Way Radios ATTENTION! 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.
LACR-NAG-QRG.fm Page 2 Wednesday, April 24, 2013 11:47 AM levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material. 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.
LACR-NAG-QRG.fm Page 3 Wednesday, April 24, 2013 11:47 AM Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. 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.
LACR-NAG-QRG.fm Page 4 Wednesday, April 24, 2013 11:47 AM 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.
LACR-NAG-QRG.fm Page 5 Wednesday, April 24, 2013 11:47 AM Operating Instructions • Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-ToTalk (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). • Private Talk Position (XTS 4000 Only).
LACR-NAG-QRG.fm Page 6 Wednesday, April 24, 2013 11:47 AM • Use only Motorola-approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and audio accessories. Use of non-Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed the applicable RF exposure guidelines (IEEE, ICNIRP or FCC). • For a list of Motorola-approved accessories for your radio model, visit the following website: http://www.motorolasolutions.
LACR-NAG-QRG.fm Page 7 Wednesday, April 24, 2013 11:47 AM Medical Devices Pacemakers The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) 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 those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Persons with pacemakers should: • ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
LACR-NAG-QRG.fm Page 8 Wednesday, April 24, 2013 11:47 AM Use of Communication Devices While Driving Always check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the areas where you drive. • 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 or regulations so require.
LACR-NAG-QRG.fm Page 9 Wednesday, April 24, 2013 11:47 AM Operational Warnings WARNING For Vehicle With Air Bags: Refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual prior to installation of electronic equipment to avoid interference with air bag wiring.
