SAFETY INFORMATION
Product Safety and RF Exposure for Portable Two-Way Radios
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information contained in user guides
published prior to February 2002.
For radios that have been approved as intrinsically safe, read the instructions and information on intrinsic safety.
Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled applications where users
have been made aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over
their exposure. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population,
consumer or similar use.
Federal Communication Commission(FCC) Regulations
The FCC has established limits for safe exposure to radio frequency (RF) emissions from portable two-way
radios. The FCC requires manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with RF exposure limits before portable two-
way radios can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios are approved for occupational/controlled
environment exposure limits, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of, and exercise control over, their
exposure. Awareness and control of RF exposure can be accomplished by the use of labels, or by education or
training through appropriate means, such as information and instructions in user manuals or safety booklets.
Your Motorola two-way radio has an RF exposure information label in the battery compartment. This user safety
booklet includes useful information about RF exposure and helpful instructions on how to control your RF
exposure.
Your Motorola two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international
standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy.
This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF
exposure environments at usage factors of up to 50% talk–50% listen. In terms of measuring RF energy for
compliance with FCC exposure guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is
transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
NOTE: The approved batteries, supplied with the portable radio, are rated for a 5-5-90 duty cycle
(5% talk–5% listen–90% standby), even though this radio complies with FCC occupational
exposure limits at usage factors of up to 50% talk.
Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part
2 sub-part J
•American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95. 1-1992
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
BEFORE USING THIS RADIO, READ THIS BOOKLET WHICH CONTAINS IMPORTANT OPERAT-
ING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFOR-
MATION FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE NATIONAL
AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.
