Safety and General Information  
Important Information on Safe and Efficient Operation  
ReadThis Information Before UsingYour Radio.  
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety  
information in user guides published prior to December 1, 2002.  
Transmit and Receive Procedure  
Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver.To control your  
exposure and ensure compliance with the general population/uncontrolled  
environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedure:  
•Transmit no more than 50% of the time.  
•To transmit (talk), press the Push toTalk (PTT) button.  
•To receive calls, release the PTT button.  
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates  
measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring  
standards compliance).  
ExposureTo Radio Frequency Energy  
Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure  
standards and guidelines:  
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal  
Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J  
2
 
Two-way Radio Operation  
When using your radio as a traditional two-way radio, hold the radio in  
a vertical position with the microphone 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away  
from the lips.  
Body-Worn Operation  
To maintain compliance 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.  
If you do not use one of the Motorola-supplied or approved body-worn accessories,  
and are not using the radio held in the normal use position, ensure the radio and its  
antenna are at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from your body when transmitting.  
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 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the body.  
Approved Accessories  
For a list of approved Motorola accessories, please contact retailer where you pur-  
chased this unit from.  
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility  
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference  
(EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electro-  
magnetic compatibility.

Medical Devices - 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.  
Safety and General Use While Driving  
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 Warnings  
For Vehicles with an Air Bag  
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deploy-  
ment 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.

Batteries  
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a  
conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed termi-  
nals.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.  
Battery Charger Safety Instructions  
Save these Instructions  
1. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.  
2. Do not operate or disassemble the charger if it has received a sharp blow, or  
has been dropped or damaged in any way.  
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 improp-  
er condition can result in a risk of electric shock.  
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.  
5.To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before  
attempting any maintenance or cleaning.  
6. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Motorola may result in a  
risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.

Using the Desk Stand Charger (Optional Accessory)  
The desk stand charger provides drop-in charging convenience for NiMh batteries  
and can be placed on any flat surface, such as a desk or workbench. Charge the NiMh  
battery overnight (at least 16 hours) before using it for the first time. After the initial  
charge, an empty battery is fully charged within 14 hours.
