Two-Way Radio
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or 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.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 cm) from their
pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when onboard an aircraft.
Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable regulations
per airline crew instructions.
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.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility. This device complies with
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
Approved Accessories
For a list of approved Motorola accessories, visit out Web site at
www.Motorola.com.
Data Operation
If applicable, when using any data feature of the radio with or without
an accessory cable, position the radio and its antenna at least one
inch (2.5 cm) from the body.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliances with FCC/Health Canada RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a radio on your body when transmitting, always
place the radio in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster,
case or body harness for this product. Use of non-Motorola-approved
accessories may exceed FCC/Health Canada RF exposure guidelines.
Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is IN USE. Holding the
antenna affects the effective range.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage
the radio and may violate FCC regulations.

damage to your radio.
Battery Meter
The battery icon shows the battery charge level, from full
to empty
. When the battery is empty, the radio chirps periodically
after releasing PTT (Low Battery Alert). The radio powers off when the
voltage drops below a predetermined level to protect the rechargeable
battery.
NOTE: The SX709 model radio can use a NiMH rechargeable battery
instead of four AAA batteries.

The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size

7. Make sure the cord is located so it will not be stepped on, tripped over
or subjected to damage or stress.
5. To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
4. To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or plug, pull the plug rather
than the cord when disconnecting the charger from the AC receptacle.
3. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided with the unit. If the plug will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. An improper condition can result in a risk of electric
shock.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as
burns if a conductive materiallike jewelry, keys or beaded chains
touch 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.
Antennas
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.

Note: You must set the Interference Eliminator Code to 0 on a radio that
uses Interference Eliminator Codes to communicate with radios that do
not have Interference Eliminator Codes. Select 0 for no tone, no code
and OFF will flash on your radios display.
You can set a different code for each channel using this procedure. An
extended press of + or allows you to scroll through the
Interference Code rapidly so you can quickly reach the code you want.
MENU
Note: Channel 5 and 35 have no codes because these two channels are
emergency channels.
Some repeaters will require specifically setting these codes for access.
Duplex Mode
Repeater stations can re-transmit your signal over a wider area giving
you extended range depending on the location, height and availability
of the local repeater station. Your radio supports duplex mode on
channels 1-8. If the repeater channel in your area is channel 1, when
you are in duplex mode the transmit channel will be channel 31.
1. Select the repeater channel in your area (channel 1 to channel 8).
2. Press + , the current setting On/Off displays.
3. Press + or to select On/Off to activate/deactivate the duplex
function.
