A modification changes the unit's hardware from its original design configuration. Modifications can 
only be made by the original product manufacturer. 
 
• Do not replace or change accessories in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may  
  occur while installing or removing accessories and cause an explosion or fire.  
• Turn the radio off before removing or installing a battery or accessory.  
• Do not disassemble an intrinsically safe product in any way that exposes the internal 
  circuits of the unit.  
• Failure to use an intrinsically safe approved battery or Approved accessories specifically  
  approved for the radio unit may result in the dangerously unsafe condition of an  
  unapproved radio combination being used in a hazardous location.  
• Unauthorized or incorrect modification of the intrinsically safe approved Product will  
  negate the approval rating of the product.  
• Incorrect repair or relabeling of any intrinsically safe Agency approved radio could  
  adversely affect the Approval rating of the unit.  
• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a hazardous atmosphere could result in  
  serious injury or death.  
Repair  
REPAIRS FOR  MOTOROLA  PRODUCTS WITH  INTRINSICALLY  SAFE APPROVAL  ARE  THE 
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.  
• Repairs to a Motorola FM approved radio product should only be done at a location that  
  has been FM audited under the FM 3605 repairs and service standard.  
• Contact Motorola for assistance regarding repairs and service of Motorola intrinsically  
  safe equipment.  
 
A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it back to its original 
condition.  
Items not considered as repairs are those in which an action is performed on a unit which does not 
require the outer casing of the unit to be opened in a manner that exposes the internal electrical circuits 
of the unit.  
Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories  
 
The Motorola communications equipment certified as intrinsically safe by the approving agency,  
(FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC) is tested as a complete system which consists of the listed agency  
Approved portable, Approved battery, and Approved accessories or options, or both. This Approved  
portable and battery combination must be strictly observed. There must be no substitution of items,  
even if the substitute has been previously Approved with a different Motorola communications 
equipment unit. Approved configurations are listed by the Approving Agency (FM, UL, CSA,  
CENELEC).  
The intrinsically safe Approval label affixed to radio refers to the intrinsically safe classification of that 
radio product, and the approved batteries that can be used with that system.  
The manual PN referenced on the intrinsically safe approval label identifies the approved 
Accessories and or options that can be used with that portable radio unit.  
Using a non Motorola intrinsically safe battery and or accessory with the Motorola approved radio unit 
will void the intrinsically safe approval of that radio unit.
