Caution

Before using this device, read this booklet which contains important operating instructions.
For information on product details, brochures, user manuals and approved accessories. Please refer to www.motorolasolutions.com.

Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
National and international regulations require manufacturers to comply with the RF energy exposure limits for mission-critical devices before they can be marketed. Your Motorola Solutions device is designed, manufactured, and tested to comply with all applicable national and international regulations for human exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic energy. When mission-critical devices are used as a consequence of employment, applicable regulations may require users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements.

RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and Operational Instructions for Occupational Use

Notice: This device is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions where users are aware of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet the requirements in national and international regulations. This device is not authorized for general population, consumer use.

For more information on what RF energy exposure is, and how to control your exposure to ensure compliance with established RF exposure limits, consult the following websites:

For additional user training information on exposure requirements, consult the following websites:

RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines

To control your exposure, and ensure compliance with the relevant RF exposure limits, always adhere to the following guidelines:

Do not remove any of the RF Exposure Labels if present from this device or its related accessories.
Attach these instructions to the device when you transfer it to other users.
Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.

Notice to Users (FCC)
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules per the following conditions:

This device may not cause harmful interference.
The device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications made to this device, not expressly approved by Motorola Solutions, could void the authority of the user to operate this equipment.

Operating Instructions

If your mission critical device operates similar to a mobile phone then hold your device at your ear when talking on it.
When using the device’s speaker to communicate, hold the device in a vertical position in front of the face with the microphone (and other parts of the device) at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) away from the nose and lips. When engaged in Push-To-Talk (PTT) communications, to transmit (talk), press the PTT button. To receive calls, release the PTT button.
When worn on the body, always place the device in a Motorola Solutions approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product.

Special use cases for Mission Critical Devices

Fixed Installation: The device operates from a fixed location with at least 20 cm distance between antennas and bystanders.
Mobile Installation: The device operates on a vehicle with at least 20 cm distance between antennas and passangers or bystanders.

For these special use cases, transmit only when people (bystanders and/or passengers) are at least at the minimum distance (as shown in Table 1) away from the antennas. This separation will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed (according to the installation instructions) antenna to satisfy the relevant RF exposure limits.

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, the less time is required before your hearing could 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 device without a headset or earpiece, do not place the loud 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.

Posted Facilities
Switch your device off in any facility where posted notices require you to do so.

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 mount or place a mission critical device in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a mission critical device is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the device may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Warning:

Do not carry a mission critical device that is not certified for Hazardous Locations into a potentially explosive atmosphere. It could result in a serious injury or death. You should only use a device certified for hazardous locations 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.
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.

Batteries

Caution: Use only Motorola Solutions approved batteries. Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Charge your battery using the approved Motorola Solutions charger.
Connect the charger/power supply to a nearby and easily accessible power outlet.
Use the battery in accordance with its water and/or dust Ingress Protection (IP) rating.
Do not discard your battery into a fire.
Do not replace the battery in any area labeled “Hazardous Atmosphere”.
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or otherwise attempt to change the form of your battery.
Do not dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.
Do not allow conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains to touch exposed battery terminals.
Do not dispose of batteries with household waste.

European Union (EU) Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive

The European Union’s WEEE directive requires that products sold into EU countries must have the crossed out trash bin label on the product (or the package in some cases). As defined by the WEEE directive, this cross-out trash bin label means that customers and end-users in EU countries should not dispose of electronic and electrical equipment or accessories in household waste. Customers or end-users in EU countries should contact their local equipment supplier representative or service centre for information about the waste collection system in their country.
