Instructions:
• Transmit no more that the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the
Push-To-Talk (PTT) button or, for radios equipped with VOX, speak into the microphone. The red
LED will illuminate when the radio is transmitting. To receive calls, release the PTT button or, for
radios equipped with VOX, stop talking. The red LED will extinguish when the radio stops
transmitting. 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).
• Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum
lateral distance away, as shown in Table 1, from the body of a vehicle with a properly
installed antenna. This separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a
properly installed (according to installation instructions) externally-mounted antenna to satisfy
the RF exposure requirements in the standards listed above.
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
(i.e. monopoles over a ground plane, or dipoles) at several different ranges of rated radio power
for mobile radios installed in a vehicle.
Note: If you are not sure of the rated power of your radio, contact your Motorola representative or
dealer and supply the radio model number found on the radio model label. If you cannot determine
the rated power out, then assure 90cms (3 feet) separation from the body of the vehicle. The
maximum power shown on the FCC Grant may be higher than the rated power allowing for
production variation.
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 centre area of the roof or the trunk lid taking into account the
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 specific
information on how and where to install specific types of approved antennas to facilitate
recommended operating distances to all potentially exposed persons.
