• 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.
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 can not determine the rated power out, then
assure 3-feet separation from the body of the vehicle. Users of multi-band
radios subject to different separation distances in different operating bands
according to Table 1 should select the larger applicable distance as the
minimum lateral distance for bystanders outside 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 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 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
