Information For Safe, Efficient Opera-
tion
Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commis-
sion (FCC) adopted updated RF energy exposure
guidelines for wireless products regulated by the FCC.
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan-
dards* previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies. The design of your Motorola two-
way radio complies with the FCC guidelines and these
standards.
*American National Standards Institute (C95.1 - 1992);
*National Council on Radiation Protection and Measure-
ments (NCRP-1986);
*International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Pro-
tection (ICNRP- 1986)
To assure optimal radio performance and to insure that
exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines in the
above standards, the following operating procedures
should be observed:
For Portable Two-way Radios:
• For hand held operation, the radio should be held
in a vertical position with the microphone one to
two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the mouth,
and the antenna should be kept one to two
inches (2.5 to 5 cm) from the head or body when
transmitting.
• For body worn operation, the antenna should be
kept at least one inch (2.5 cm) from the body
when transmitting.
