tromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
•Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation -
Human Exposure) Standard, 2001

Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions for
Portable Two-Way Radios
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/ controlled environment exposure limits,
always adhere to the following procedures:
•Transmit no more than 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To
receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time or less is important since the
radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring
standards compliance).
•
Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of the face with the microphone
(and other parts of the radio including the antenna) at least one to two inches
(2.5 to 5 centimeters) away from the lips. Keeping the radio at a proper dis-
tance is important since RF exposures decrease with distance from the
antenna.
•For body-worn operation, always place the radio in a Motorola-approved clip, holder, holster,
case, or body harness for this product. Using non–Motorola-approved accessories may result in
exposure levels which exceed the FCC’s occupational/controlled environment RF exposure lim-
its.
• If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio in the intended use posi-
tion in front of the face, ensure the antenna and the radio are kept one inch (2.5 centimeters)
from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important since RF
exposures decrease with distance from the antenna.
•
Use only Motorola-approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accesso-
ries.
Use of non–Motorola-approved antennas, batteries and accessories may exceed FCC RF
exposure guidelines.

sories, visit the following web site which lists approved accessories:

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
NOTE:
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted
notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to
external RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance
with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.
