Note: Table 1 below lists the recommended lateral distance for people in an
uncontrolled environment from the body of a vehicle with an approved,
properly installed transmitting antenna (such as monopoles over a
ground plane, or dipoles).
• When a mobile radio is used in conjunction with another co-located
transmitter such as a Vehicular Repeater, it is the vehicle operator’s
responsibility to take appropriate steps to keep bystanders at the
required separation distance from the vehicle to ensure compliance
with the FCC’s RF energy exposure limits for the general population.
See the co-located transmitter’s user manual for more details.
Mobile Antenna Installation Guidelines
• These mobile antenna installation guidelines are limited to metal body
motor vehicles or vehicles with appropriate ground planes.
• Antennas should be installed in the center area of the roof or the trunk lid
taking into account exposure conditions of backseat passengers and
according to the specific instructions and restrictions in the Radio
Installation Manual along with the requirements of the antenna supplier.
• Trunk lid installations are limited to vehicles with clearly defined flat trunk
lids, and in some cases, to specific radio models and antennas. See the
Radio Installation Manual for the specific information on how and where to
install specific types of approved antennas to facilitate recommended
operating distances to all potentially exposed persons.
Use only the Motorola-approved, supplied antenna or a
Motorola-approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and may result in non-
compliance with RF Safety Standard.
Approved Accessories
• This radio has been tested and meets RF Safety Standards when used
with the Motorola accessories supplied or designated for this product.
Use of other accessories may result in non-compliance with RF Safety
Standards.
