Motorola T4500 Two Way Radio Users Guide

maintenance and repairs in the private land 
mobile and fixed services as certified by an 
organization representative of the user of those 
services. Replacement of any transmitter 
component (crystal, semiconductor, etc.) not 
authorized by the FCC equipment authorization 
for this radio could violate FCC rules.
Use of this radio outside the country where it was 
intended to be distributed is subject to 
government regulations and may be prohibited.
Safety and General InformationImportant Information...

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).
Exposure to Radio Frequency EnergyYour Motorola radio is designed to comply with 
the following national and international standards 
and guidelines regarding exposure of human 
beings to radio frequency electromagnetic 
energy:
 United States Federal Communications 
Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 
CFR part 2...

 ANATEL, Brasil Regulatory Authority, 
Resolution 256 (April 11, 2002) “additional 
requirements for SMR, cellular, and PCS 
product certification.”
To assure optimal radio performance and make 
sure human exposure to radio frequency 
electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines 
set forth in the above standards, always adhere 
to the following procedures.

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 one inch (2.5 cm) from 
your body when transmitting
.
Data Operation

radio with or without an accessory cable,...

Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio 
when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio 
must be in accordance with applicable 
regulations per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices - Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association 
recommends that a minimum separation of six 
inches (15 cm) be maintained between a 
handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker. These 
recommendations are consistent with the 
independent research by, and recommendations 
of the U.S. Food and Drug...

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 DrivingCheck 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:

areas as “Intrinsically Safe.” Do not remove, 
install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks 
in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause 
an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or 
even death.
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...

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 terminals. 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.

6. Use of an attachment not recommended or 
sold by Motorola may result in a risk of fire, 
electric shock, or personal injury.
7. Make sure the cord is located so it will not be 
stepped on, tripped over, or subjected to dam-
age or stress.
8. An extension cord should not be used unless 
absolutely necessary. Use of an improper 
extension cord could result in a risk of fire and/
or electric shock. If an extension cord must be
