Safety and General Information
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 call quality and may cause the radio to operate at a
higher power level than needed.
Approved Accessories
For a list of approved Motorola accessories look in the appendix or
accessory section of this manual.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded,
designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic
compatibility.
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
