Safety and General Information
Important Information on Safe and Efficient Operation
Read This Information Before Using Your Radio.
The information provided in this document supersedes the general
safety information in user guides published prior to December 1, 2002.
Transmit and Receive Procedure
Your twoway radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To control
your exposure and ensure compliance with the general population\f
uncontrolled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the
following procedure:
• Transmit no more than 50% of the time.
• To receive calls, release the PTT button.
• To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button.
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 Energy
Your Motorola twoway radio complies with the following RF energy
exposure standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 subpart J.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)\fInstitute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 11992.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) C95. 11999 Edition.
• International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998.
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the
Frequency Range from 3 KHz to 300 GHz, 1999.
• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation—Human Exposure) Standard, 2003.
• ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 of July 2, 2002 “Regulation of limitation of exposure to electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic
fields in the radio frequency range between 9 KHz and 300GHz”.
To ensure 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.
Portable Radio Operation and EME Exposure
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the radio and may violate FCC regulations.
Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding the
antenna affects its effective range. BodyWorn Operation
To maintain compliances with FCC\fHealth Canada RF exposure
guidelines if you wear a radio on your body when transmitting
always place the radio in a Motorolasupplied or approved clip
holder, holster, case or body harness for this product. Use of non
Motorolaapproved accessories may exceed FCC\fHealth Canada RF
exposure guidelines.
If you do not use one of the Motorolasupplied 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 1 inch
(2.5 cm) from your body when transmitting.

Electromagnetic Interference\bCompatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded,
designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference; and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
IC Canada
The term IC: before the equipment certification number only
signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and\for 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.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when onboard 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 6 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 Administration.
People with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 cm) from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Medical Devices – Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical Devices – Other
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 Driving
Check the laws and regulations regarding the use of radios in the
area where you drive, and always obey them. If you do use your
radio while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Use handsfree operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
The use of a twoway radio while engaged in activities requiring
concentration may cause distraction or otherwise impair your
ability to safely participate in such activities. Always use technology
safely.
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the
air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a
portable radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air
bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and cause
serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Only radio types that are especially qualified
should be used in such 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.
For More Information
For further information, you may call Motorola at 18006385119
(U.S. and Canada), or email us at [email protected] or visit
us on the Internet at www.motorola.com. 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.
Blasting Caps and Areas

Scanning Channels
Use scan to search the 22 channels for transmissions from
unknown parties, to find someone in your group who has
accidentally changed channels, or to quickly find unused channels
for your own use.
There is a priority feature and 2 modes of scanning (basic and
advanced) to make your search more effective. The basic scan
mode uses the channel and code combinations for each of the 22
channels as you have set them (or with the default code value of 1).
The “Advanced Scan” mode will scan all channels for any and all
codes, detect any code in use, and use that code value temporarily
for that channel.
Priority is given to the “home channel,” that is, the channel (and
Interference Eliminator Code) your radio is set to when you start the
scan. This means the initial channel (and code setting) is scanned
more often than the other 21 channels, and your radio will respond
quickly to any activity occurring on the home channel as a priority.
To start Scanning:
1. Briefly press the key. The scan will appear in the display, and the radio will begin to scroll through the channel
and code combinations.
2. When the radio detects channel activity matching the channel and code combination, it stops scrolling and you can hear the
transmission.
3. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press within five seconds after the end of the transmission.
4. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five seconds after the end of any received activity.
5. To stop scanning, briefly press the key.
To start Advanced Scanning:
1. Set the Interference Eliminator Code to “zero” or OFF.
2. Briefly press the key. The scan will appear in the display, and the radio will begin to scroll through the channels.
No Interference Eliminator Codes will filter what is heard.
3. When the radio detects channel activity with ANY code (or NO code), it stops scrolling and you can hear the transmission. Any
Interference Eliminator Code that may be in use by that party
will be detected and displayed.
4. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press within five seconds of the end of the transmission. The radio will
transmit using the newly detected Interference Eliminator Code.
5. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five seconds after the end of any received activity.
6. To stop scanning, briefly press the key.
Scanning Notes:
1. If you press while the radio is scrolling through inactive channels, the transmission will be on the “home channel”.
Scanning will resume five seconds after the end of your
transmission. You may press the key to stop scanning
at any time.
2. If the radio stops on an undesired transmission, you may immediately resume the scan by briefly pressing or .
3. If the radio repeatedly stops on an undesired transmission, you may temporarily remove that channel from the scan list by
pressing and holding or for three seconds. You may
remove more than one channel in this way.
4. To restore the removed channel(s) to the scan list, turn the radio off and then back on, or exit and reenter the scanning mode by
pressing .
5. You cannot remove the home channel from the scan list.
6. In Advanced Scan, the detected code will only be used for one transmission. You must note the code, exit scan, and set
that detected code on that channel to permanently use the
detected code.
Weather Receiver
Your radio can tune in to broadcasts by the United States National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio
and Environment Canada Weatheradio.
You can listen to a weather channel (see “Weather Channels and
Frequencies” table below) or set your radio to alert you to
emergency weather broadcasts that interrupt routine broadcasts.
When you listen to a weather channel, you cannot use your radio
in scan mode or for twoway communications.
Both NOAA and Environment Canada have transmitters located
throughout the United States and Canada, respectively. These
transmitters broadcast watches, forecasts, and other information
24 hours a day.
Note: NOAA weather radio stations are assigned to cover specific
areas and service may be limited. Please check with your local
weather office for frequency and details, or visit www.weather.gov\fnwr
in the US or www.msc.ec.gc.ca\fmsb\fweatheradio in Canada to view
the appropriate transmitter for your area.
The use of the NOAA logo does not provide an endorsement or
implied endorsement by NOAA’s National Weather Service, nor
does the use of the Weatheradio logo provide an endorsement or
implied endorsement by Environment Canada.
