							Safety and General Informationv
Safety and General Use While Driving
Check 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:
Give full attention to driving and to the road.
Use hands-free operation, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions 
so require.
Operational Warnings
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
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, unless it is a radio type especially qualified for use 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.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.6881038B80.book  Page v  Wednesday, September 26, 2001  4:16 PM 
						

							Safety and General Informationvi
Blasting Caps and Areas
To 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.
Operational Cautions
Antennas
Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged 
antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
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.
Charging Safety Instructions
Before using the battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on:
1. the battery
2. the battery charger, and
3. the radio using the battery.
Caution:  To reduce the risk of injury, charge only the rechargeable battery. Other 
types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury and damage.6881038B80.book  Page vi  Wednesday, September 26, 2001  4:16 PM 
						

							Safety and General Informationvii
Save these Instructions
1. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
2. Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, or has been dropped 
or damaged in any way.
3. Do not disassemble the charger if it has received a sharp blow, or has been 
dropped or damaged in any way.
4. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided with the unit. If plug will not fit the out-
let, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. An improper condition 
can result in a risk of electric shock.
5. To reduce risk of damage to cord or plug, pull the plug rather than the cord when 
disconnecting charger from AC receptacle.
6. To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before 
attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
7. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Motorola may result in a risk 
of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
8. Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, 
or subjected to damage or stress.6881038B80.book  Page vii  Wednesday, September 26, 2001  4:16 PM

9. 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 used, make sure:

and shape as those on the plug of the charger.
That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition, 
and
