27 English SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATIONSafe and Efficient Operation of Motorola Two - Way R a di o sThis section provides information and instructions for the safe and efficient operation of Motorola Mobile Two-Way Radios. For information regarding radio use in hazardous areas, please refer to the Factory Mutual (FM) approval manual supplement or Instruction Card which is included with radio models that offer this capability.Exposure To Radio Frequency EnergyNational and International Standards and Guidelines Your Motorola Two-Way Radio, which generates and radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME) is designed to comply with the following National and International Standards and Guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy: Federal Communications Commission Report and Order No. FCC 96-326 (August 1996) American National Standards Institute (C95.1 - 1992) National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP - 1986) International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radi- ation Protection (ICNRP - 1986) European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (CENELEC) To assure optimal radio performance and that human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth in the above standards, always adhere to the following procedures: ENV. 50166-1 1995 EHuman Exposure to Electro- magnetic Fields Low Fre- quency (0Hz to 10kHz) ENV. 50166-2 1995 EHumanExposuretoElectro- magnetic Fields High Fre- quency (10kHz to 300GHz) Proceedings of SC211/8 1996Safety Considerations for HumanExposuretoE.M.F.s from Mobile Telecommunica- tions Equipment (M.T.E.) in the Frequency Range 30MHz - 6 GHz (E.M.F. - Electromagnetic Fields)
28 English SAFETY Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityNote:Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility. 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. When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with airline regulations or crew instructions.Operational Warnings Vehicles With an Air BagDo not place communications equipment in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If communications equipment is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, it may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle. Potentially Explosive AtmospheresTurn off your two-way radio when you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.Blasting Caps and AreasTo avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions. Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fueling areas such as: below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted. ! W A R N I N G !
