READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION BEFORE USING YOUR MOTOROLA HANDHELD PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIO

Electromagnetic Interference/compatibility

Driver Safety Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area where you drive. Always obey them. When using your radio while driving, please: Give full attention to driving and to the road. Use hands-free operation, if available. Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

Operational Cautions Antennas

ANATEL, Brazil Regulatory Authority, Resolution 256 (April 11, 2001) "additional requirements for SMR, cellular and PCS product certification."

Operational Instructions and Training Guidelines To ensure optimal performance and compliance with the occupational/controlled environment RF energy exposure limits in the above standards and guidelines, users should transmit no more than 50% of the time and always adhere to the following procedures: Transmit and Receive To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button; to receive, release the PTT button. Hand-held radio operation Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the lips. Body-worn Operation Always place the radio in a Motorola approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Use of non-Motorolaapproved accessories may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines.

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. Medical Devices Pacemakers The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Persons with pacemakers should:

Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result. Batteries

The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information contained in user guides published prior to June 2001. For information regarding radio use in a hazardous atmosphere please refer to the Factory Mutual (FM) Approval Product Listing Manual or Instruction Card, which is included with radio models that offer this capability. Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards

Operational Warnings For Vehicles With An Air Bag

! !

Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or W A R N I N G in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially qualified for use in such areas as "Intrinsically Safe" (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, or CENELEC). Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.

If you do not use a Motorola approved body-worn accessory and are not using the radio in the intended use position in front of the face, then ensure the antenna and the radio are kept 2.5 cm (one inch) from the body when transmitting. Antennas & Batteries Use only Motorola approved supplied antenna or Motorola approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and may violate FCC regulations. Use only Motorola approved, supplied batteries or Motorola approved replacement batteries. Use of non-Motorola-approved antennas or batteries may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines. Approved Accessories For a list of approved Motorola accessories please contact your dealer, or local Motorola representative.

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 environment at duty cycles of up to 50% talk-50% listen and should be used for occupational use only. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the 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 that the approved, supplied batteries for this radio are rated for a 5-5-90 duty cycle (5% talk-5% listen - 90% standby), even though this radio complies with the FCC occupational exposure limits at duty cycles of up to 50% talk. Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:

Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted. Blasting Caps And Areas To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio." Obey all signs and instructions.

ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON. not carry the radio in the breast pocket. use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. turn the radio OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place. Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Remarks
Select low level when you need to receive very weak signal, and select high level when the communications distance is near. This determines the maximum duration (in minutes) that you can transmit continuously. Battery Saver helps to extend your battery life. When enabled, it turns off radio receiver circuitry periodically when no activity is detected. BS-NORM (Normal) turns off the radio less frequently; select this if you want to save battery, but expect a Selective Call. BS-ENH (Enhanced) turns off the receiver for a longer duration; select this if you want to maximize battery saving and do not expect to receive any Selective Call. Selects the type of battery that your radio uses: NIMH (Nickel Metal Hydride), NICD (Nickel Cadmium) or ALK (Alkaline). Selects the alert tone volume needed. Select BEEP-OFF, if you require quiet operation, or BEEP-3, if working in a noisy environment. The Prime Channel is the channel that you wish to spend most of your time monitoring. The radio will always switch back to the Prime Channel if it is idle for more than the preprogrammed hang-time in other channel. Selecting LGT-TOGL makes the Backlight button a toggle to control the ON/OFF status of the LCD backlight. Selecting LGT-AUTO causes the backlight to automatically extinguish, if there is no keypress for more than 5 seconds. Pressing the Backlight button prolongs illumination time. This is the PL or DPL code that the channel will use to unsquelch the receive message. 000 indicates that no PL/ DPL is used for receive, i.e., radio operates in carrier squelch mode.
