Important Safety Information
RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Portable Two-Way Radios
ATTENTION: This radio is restricted to Occupational use only.
Before using the radio, read the RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Portable TwoWay Radios which contains important operating instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness and control for Compliance with applicable standards and Regulations.
For a list of Motorola Solutions-approved antennas, batteries, and other accessories, visit the following website:
https://www.motorolasolutions.com Under Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada (ISED) regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by ISED. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. This radio transmitter is approved by ISED to operate with a Motorola Solutions-approved antenna with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

MN009207A01-AF Chapter 1: Radio Care
Chapter 1
Radio Care
Proper radio usage and care ensure efficient operation and long life of the product. CAUTION: Use the radio according to the following recommendations and warnings. Your radio casing has a vent port for pressure equalization in the radio. Never poke this vent with objects such as needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers. Poking the vent could create leak paths into the radio and the radio submergibility will be lost. Never obstruct or cover the vent port, even with a label. Ensure that no oily substances come in contact with the vent port. Your radio is designed to be submerged to a maximum depth of 6 feet and maximum time of 2 hours. Exceeding either maximum limit may result in damage to the radio. Elastomer seals used in portable radios age with time and environmental exposure. To ensure the waterseal integrity of the radio, Motorola Solutions recommends that radios be checked annually as a preventive measure. The disassembly, test, and reassembly procedures along with necessary test equipment are available in the Service Manual. If the radio battery contacts are exposed to water without the battery attached, dry and clean the radio battery contacts before attaching a battery to the radio. Turn the radio over with the battery contact facing down and shake the radio so any trapped water can escape. A short circuit of the contacts could occur if they are not dried properly. If the radio has been submerged in water, shake the radio to remove any water that is trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone port. Otherwise, the water decreases the audio quality of the radio. If an accessory is not attached to the radio, ensure that the accessory connector cover is attached to the radio side accessory connector. If the radio is submerged or exposed to a high force water spray, such as from a hose, remove the accessory or accessory connector cover immediately and ensure that no water is forced into the accessory connector/radio interface. Rinse and dry the area and re-attach the accessory or accessory connector cover if leakage occurs. If the radio is exposed to a corrosive environment, such as salt water or corrosive gases or liquids, rinse and clean the radio immediately to prevent damage to radio materials, especially plated surfaces. Remove the battery and the antenna before cleaning. Do not disassemble the radio as you could damage radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio. Any radio maintenance should be performed only by a qualified radio technician. Only Underwriter Laboratory (UL) approved service centers can open and service UL certified radios. Opening or repairing at unauthorized locations invalidates hazardous location rating of the radio. Do not pound, drop, or throw the radio unnecessarily. Turn off the radio when charging the radio using a wall-mounted charger. Otherwise, the Fall Alert and Emergency may be accidentally triggered. When cleaning the radio, do not use a high-pressure jet spray as this may exceed the depth pressure and cause water to leak into the radio.
26

MN009207A01-AF Chapter 1: Radio Care
1.1
Cleaning Your Radio
CAUTION: Do not use solvents to clean your radio as most chemicals may permanently damage the radio housing and textures. Do not submerge the radio in the detergent solution. To clean the external surfaces of your radio, perform the following: Procedure: 1. Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to one gallon of water (0.5% solution). 2. Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, shortbristled brush, making sure that excess
detergent does not get entrapped near the connectors, controls, or crevices. 3. Rinse and then dry the radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth. 4. Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt or grease.
1.2
Radio Service and Repair
Proper repair and maintenance procedures ensure efficient operation and long- life of this radio. A Motorola Solutions maintenance agreement provides expert service to keep the radio and all other communication equipment in perfect operating condition. A nationwide service organization is provided by Motorola Solutions to support maintenance services. Through its maintenance and installation program, Motorola Solutions makes the finest service available to those desiring reliable continuous communications on a contract basis. For a contract service agreement, contact your nearest Motorola Solutions service or sales representative, or an authorized Motorola Solutions dealer.
1.3
Battery Recycling and Disposal
In the U.S. and Canada, Motorola Solutions participates in the nationwide Call2Recycle program for battery collection and recycling. Many retailers and dealers participate in this program. For the location of the drop-off facility closest to you, go to http://www.call2recycle.org/ or call 1-800-8BATTERY. This website and telephone number also provide other useful information concerning recycling options for consumers, businesses, and governmental agencies.
