Caution
Before using this radio, 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 mobile two-way radios before they can be marketed. Your Motorola Solutions two-way radio is designed, manufactured, and tested to comply with all applicable national and international regulations for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. When two-way radios 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 radio 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 radio 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 exposure to yourself and others, and to 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
- Transmit no more than 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), press the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting more than 50% of the time may cause RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
- Transmit only when people (bystanders) outside the vehicle are at least at the minimum lateral distance (as shown in Table 1) away from the vehicle body. This separation will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed (according to the installation instructions) externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the relevant RF exposure limits.
- To ensure continued compliance with applicable RF exposure limits, use only Motorola Solutions approved, supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories.
- For a list of Motorola Solutions approved accessories please refer to your user manual or visit www.motorolasolutions.com
Table 1 lists the minimum lateral distance for bystanders from the body of a vehicle (For example, truck, van, car, motorcycle) equipped with an approved, properly installed single-band mobile radio and associated antenna(s).
Table 1: Minimum Lateral Distance from Vehicle Body
Minimum Lateral Distance of Bystanders from Vehicle Body
3 ft (90 cm)
Mobile Antenna Installation Guidelines
- Make sure to follow the antenna installation guidelines that are provided in this mobile radio installation manual.
- Use only Motorola Solutions approved supplied antenna, or a Motorola Solutions approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and may result in non-compliance with RF Safety Standards.
Guidelines and Operating Instructions for Mobile Two-Way Radios
Installed as Fixed Site Control Stations
If mobile radio equipment is installed and operated at a fixed location, the antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order to ensure optimal performance and compliance with applicable RF exposure limits.
- The antenna should be mounted outside the building on the roof or a tower if at all possible.
- As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee to manage the site in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Actions such as site survey measurements, signage, and site access restrictions may be required in order to ensure compliance with RF exposure limits.
Vehicles
To avoid possible interference between the radio transmitter and any vehicle electronic control modules, such as ABS, engine, or transmission control modules, your mobile radio should be installed only by an experienced installer, using the following precautions when installing the radio:
- Refer to the manufacturer instructions or other technical bulletins for recommendations on radio installation.
- Before installing the radio, determine the location of the vehicle electronic control modules and their harnesses within the vehicle.
- Route all radio wiring, including the antenna cable, as far away as possible from the electronic control units and associated harnesses.
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 mobile radio in the area over an air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a 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:
- Do not carry a radio 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 radio 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.
Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas
Warning: To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Batteries
If your mobile radio is equipped with a primary or backup battery, you must follow these instructions:
- 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)
