Safety Information

FCC Safety The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with
its action in General Docket 79-144, March 13, 1985,
Standards
has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by
FCC regulated equipment. Motorola subscribes to the
same safety standard for the use of its products.
Proper operation of this radio will result in user
exposure substantially below FCC recommended
limits:
• Do not hold the radio with the antenna very close
to, or touching, exposed parts of the body,
especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
Hold the radio in a vertical position with the
microphone two to three inches away from the
lips.
• Do not hold the transmit switch (PTT) on when not
actually desiring to transmit.
Safety
• Do not allow children to play with any radio
Guidelines
equipment containing a transmitter.
• Do not operate radio transmitters near explosive
blasting caps. The transmitted radio energy may
trigger a blasting cap and cause an explosion.
• Do not operate radio transmitters in an explosive
atmosphere unless it is a type especially qualified
for such use. An explosion may result.
• Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous
atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while
installing or removing batteries and cause an
explosion.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may
explode when subjected to extremely high
temperatures.
• Do not short circuit the radio. An accidental short
circuit, such as a paper clip dropped across the
battery terminals, may generate enough heat to
spark a fire.
