https://learning.motorolasolutions.com/User_Documentation

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 the TLK 150 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.
RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and Operational Instructions for General Population and Uncontrolled Environment Use
Notice: This device is intended for use in general population conditions where radio-frequency (RF) exposure meets the requirements in national and international regulations.
For more information on what RF energy exposure is, 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

The device operates on a vehicle with at least 20 cm distance between antennas and passengers or bystanders.
Transmit only when people (bystanders and/or passengers) are at least at the minimum distance (as shown in Table 1) away from the installed 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.
To ensure continued compliance with applicable RF exposure limits, use only Motorola Solutions approved, supplied, or replacement antennas and accessories.
For a list of Motorola Solutions approved accessories please refer to your user manual or visit www.motorolasolutions.com

Acoustic Safety
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 a headset or earpiece.
Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.

Mobile Antenna Installation Guidelines

Make sure to follow the antenna installation guidelines that are provided in this TLK 150 device installation manual.
Use only Motorola Solutions approved supplied antenna, or a Motorola Solutions approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the device 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 the 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 at the minimum distance from bystanders as noted in Table 1.
As with all fixed-site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the end-user 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 device transmitter and any vehicle electronic control modules, such as ABS, engine, or transmission control modules, your TLK 150 device should be installed only by an experienced installer, using the following precautions when installing the device:

Refer to the manufacturer instructions or other technical bulletins for recommendations on TLK 150 device installation.
Before installing the TLK 150 device, determine the location of the vehicle’s electronic control modules and their harnesses within the vehicle.
Route all TLK 150 device 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 airbag wiring.
DO NOT mount or place a mobile radio in the area over an airbag or in the airbag deployment area. Airbags inflate with great force. If a radio is placed in the airbag deployment area and the airbag 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 TLK 150 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, dust, such as fueling areas below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or 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 device when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area.
Obey all signs and instructions.
Batteries
If your mobile radio is equipped with a primary or backup battery, you must follow these instructions:

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 hairdryer 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 center for information about the waste collection system in their country.
