Safety Information

• Changes or modifications made to this device, not expressly
approved by Motorola Solutions, could void the authority of the user to
operate this equipment.
Acoustic Safety
Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time
may temporarily or permanently affect your hearing. The louder the
volume of the radio, the sooner your hearing will be affected. Hearing
damage from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first, and can
have a cumulative effect.
To protect your hearing:
• Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
• Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.
• Turn down the volume before adding headset or earpiece.
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high
volume.
• When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the
radio's speaker directly against your ear.
Medical Devices
If you use a personal medical device, such as a pacemaker or hearing
aid, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is
adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
Holsters Incorporating Magnets
Some Motorola Solutions holsters incorporate strong, neodymium
magnets. If you use a personal medical device, such as a pacemaker or
hearing aid, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it
can be used in close proximity to magnets. Your physician may be able
to assist you in obtaining this information. Also be aware that magnets
can damage other products, including cell phones, computers, hard
drives, and other electronic devices, as well as credit cards and
magnetic media. Keep the holster away from any mechanical device that
could be affected by a magnetic field. Consult the manufacturer of your
product to determine if your device or product can be used in close
proximity to magnets.
Operational Warnings
The following explains the operational warnings:
For Vehicle With Air Bags
Warning:
• Refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual prior to installation of
electronic equipment to avoid interference with air bag wiring.
• DO NOT place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or
in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great
force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag deployment
area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with
great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the
vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Warning:
• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a potentially
explosive atmosphere could result in a serious injury or
death. You should only use a certified Intrinsically Safe radio
in potentially explosive atmospheres.
• Explosive atmospheres refer to hazard classified locations
that may contain hazardous gas, vapors, dusts, such as
fueling areas below decks on boats, fuel or chemical
transferor storage facilities, and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but
not always, posted.
• Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere unless it is a radio type
specifically certified for use in hazardous location areas.
• DO NOT remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas, or
remove or install antennas. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death.
Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas
Warning: To avoid possible interference with blasting
operations, turn off your radio when you are near electrical
