Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a product label directing users to specific user
awareness information. Your Motorola two-way radio has a RF exposure product label. Also, your
Motorola user manual, or separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions
required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your Motorola two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and
International standards and guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits
for occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors of up to 50%
talk-50% listen and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use only.
In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with these exposure guidelines, your radio
generates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is
receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
NOTE: The approved batteries, supplied with this radio, are rated for a 5-5-90 duty factor (5% talk-
5% listen-90% standby) even though this radio complies with FCC occupational exposure
limits and may operate at duty factors of up to 50% talk.
Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and
guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Code of Federal Regulations;
47 CFR et seq.
• FCC, OET Bulletin 65
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6
• Industry Canada RSS-102
• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications Standard et seq.
• ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 et seq.
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating
Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment
exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
• Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
Operating Instructions
• Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-
To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or
less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when
transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
• Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of the face with the microphone (and
other parts of the radio including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 centimeters)
away from the nose or lips. Antenna should be kept away from the eye. Keeping the
radio at a proper distance is important since RF exposures decrease with increasing
distance from the antenna.
