  • Page 7 ELECTROMAGNETIC (RF) EXPOSURE THE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF RF ENERGY HAVE BEEN STUDIED FOR YEARS. THERE ARE SOME CONFLICTING RESULTS, BUT WE KNOW SOME THINGS. RF ENERGY CAN CAUSE HEATING (MICROWAVE OVEN). THE EYES AND HEAD ARE MOST SENSITIVE. STRONG RF FIELDS CAN CAUSE CATARACTS.
  • Page 8 ELECTROMAGNETIC (RF) EXPOSURE YOUR NEW RADIO TRANSMITS MUCH MORE POWER THAN YOUR CELL PHONE (2.3W VERSUS 1W OR LESS). THE FCC HAS REGULATED AND LIMITED THE AMOUNT OF PERMISSIBLE OCCUPATIONAL RF EXPOSURE. RF EXPOSURE DEPENDS UPON TWO VARIABLES. 1) INTENSITY OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD. 2) TIME SPENT IN THAT FIELD.
  • Page 9 ELECTROMAGNETIC (RF) EXPOSURE REDUCE RF INTENSITY BY NOT CLOSE TALKING YOUR RADIO. Motorola recommends holding your radio 2” from your lips. ® ASTRO XTS™ 2500 Model III...
  • Page 10 ELECTROMAGNETIC (RF) EXPOSURE REDUCE RF INTENSITY BY NOT CLOSE TALKING YOUR RADIO. The XTS2500 radios have very sensitive and clear audio. We recommend holding your radio 6” from your lips. Our tests show this cuts the intensity to your eyes and head to one-half the level when held at 2”.
  • Page 11 ELECTROMAGNETIC (RF) EXPOSURE REDUCE TIME IN THE RF FIELD BY USING SHORT, INFREQUENT TRANSMISSIONS. Especially avoid lengthy phone conversations. ® ASTRO XTS™ 2500 Model III...
  • Page 12 EXPLOSIVE/ FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERES YOUR XTS2500 PORTABLE RADIO IS NOT INTRINSICALLY SAFE. NEITHER WAS YOUR LTS2000. DO NOT TRANSMIT OR OPERATE IF YOU ARE IN AN EXPLOSIVE OR FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERE. THE SWITCHES IN YOUR RADIO MAY PRODUCE MINUTE SPARKS WHICH COULD IGNITE THE ATMOSPHERE SURROUNDING YOU.

This memory effect has been greatly reduced in your batteries through the use of new cell technology.
  • Page 60 Charging the Battery – More… The Impres charger and battery are both smart; they talk to each other. Don’t try to charge your battery on a non-Impres charger.
