Product Safety and RF Exposure MTM700 Mobile Terminal / Basic Service Manual vii
• Use only Motorola approved supplied antenna or Motorola approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and may violate
RF exposure guidelines.
• For a list of Motorola approved antennas, visit the

Fixed Site Antennas
If mobile radio equipment is installed at a fixed location and operated as a control station or as a fixed unit,
the antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order to ensure optimal performance
and compliance with the RF energy exposure limits in the above standards and guidelines:
• The antenna must be mounted outside the building on the roof or a tower if at all possible.
• As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee to manage the
site in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and may require additional
compliance actions such as site survey measurements, signage, and site access restrictions in
order to ensure that exposure limits are not exceeded.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility. It may
be necessary to conduct compatibility testing to determine if any electronic equipment used in or
around vehicles or near fixed antenna sites is sensitive to external RF energy and if any procedures
need to be followed to eliminate or mitigate the potential for interaction between the radio transmitter
and the equipment or device.
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.
Vehicles
To avoid possible interaction between the radio transmitter and any vehicle electronic control
modules, for example, ABS, engine, or transmission controls, the radio should be installed only by
an experienced installer and that the following precautions be used when installing the radio:
1. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and or other technical bulletins or recommendations on
radio installation.
