PORTABLE RADIO OPERATION

AND EME EXPOSURE

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:

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 two-

way radio is "IN USE".

Holding the antenna

affects call quality and may cause the radio to

operate at a higher power level than needed.

Two-Way Radio Operation

When using your radio as a

traditional two-way radio,

hold

the radio in a vertical

position with the

microphone one to two

inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away

from the lips.

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure

guidelines, if you wear a radio on your body

when transmitting, always place the radio in

Motorola supplied or approved clip, holder,

holster, case, or body harness.

Use of non-

Motorola-approved accessories may exceed

FCC RF exposure guidelines.

If you do not

use a body-worn accessory, ensure the

antenna is at least one inch (2.5 cm) from

your body when transmitting.

Data Operation

When using any data feature of the radio, with

or without an accessory cable,

position the

antenna of the radio at least one inch (2.5

cm) from the body.

ELECTROMAGNETIC

INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY

Note:

Nearly every electronic device is

susceptible to electromagnetic

interference (EMI) if inadequately

shielded, designed or otherwise con-

ﬁgured for electromagnetic compatibil-

ity.

•

FACILITIES

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.

• 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 Health Industry Manufacturers

Association recommends that a mini-

mum separation of 6 inches (15

centimeters) be maintained between a

handheld wireless radio and a pace-

maker.These recommendations are

consistent with the independent

research by, and recommendations of,

Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers should:

• ALWAYS keep the radio more than six

inches (15 centimeters) 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.

English

SAFETY

• turn the radio OFF immediately if you

have any reason to suspect that

interference is taking place.

• 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.

• 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 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.

W A R N I N G

English

SAFETY

• 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" (for example,

Factory Mutual, CSA, or UL Approved). 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 stor-

age facilities, areas where the air con-

tains 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 explo-

sive atmospheres are often but not

always posted.

• 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.

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.

SAFETY

INTRINSICALLY SAFE RADIO

INFORMATION

FMRC Approved Equipment

Anyone intending to use a radio in a location

where hazardous concentrations of ﬂammable

material exist (hazardous atmosphere) is

advised to become familiar with the subject of

intrinsic safety and with the National Electric

Code NFPA 70 (National Fire Protection

Association) Article 500 (hazardous [classiﬁed]

locations).

An Approval Guide, issued by Factory Mutual

Research Corporation (FMRC), lists

manufacturers and the products approved by

FMRC for use in such locations. FMRC has

also issued a voluntary approval standard for

repair service (“Class Number 3605”).

FMRC Approval labels are attached to the

radio to identify the unit as being FM Approved

for speciﬁed hazardous atmospheres. This

label speciﬁes the hazardous Class/Division/

Group along with the part number of the

battery that must be used. Depending on the

design of the portable unit, this FM label can

be found on the back or the bottom of the radio

housing. The FM Approval mark is shown

below:

WARNINGS

• Do not operate radio

communications equipment in a

hazardous atmosphere unless it

is a type especially qualiﬁed for such use

(e.g., FMRC Approved). An explosion or ﬁre

may result.

• Do not operate an FMRC Approved Product

in a hazardous atmosphere if it has been

physically damaged (e.g., cracked

housing). An explosion or ﬁre may result.

• Do not replace or charge batteries in a

hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking

may occur while installing or removing

batteries and cause an explosion or ﬁre.

WARNINGS

• Do not replace or change

accessories in a hazardous

atmosphere. Contact sparking

SAFETY

may occur while installing or removing

accessories and cause an explosion or ﬁre.

• Do not operate an FMRC Approved Product

unit in a hazardous location with the

accessory contacts exposed. Keep the

connector cover in place when accessories

are not used.

• Turn a radio off before removing or installing

a battery or accessory.

• Do not disassemble an FMRC Approved

Product unit in any way that exposes the

internal electrical circuits of the unit.

Radios must ship from the Motorola

manufacturing facility with the hazardous

atmosphere capability and FM Approval

labeling. Radios will not be “upgraded” to this

capability and labeled in the ﬁeld.

A modiﬁcation changes the unit’s hardware

from its original design conﬁguration.

Modiﬁcations can only be made by the original

product manufacturer at one of its

FMRC-audited manufacturing facilities.

WARNINGS

• Failure to use an FMRC

Approved Product unit with an

FMRC Approved battery or

FMRC Approved accessories speciﬁcally

approved for that product may result in the

dangerously unsafe condition of an unap-

proved radio combination being used in a

hazardous location.

• Unauthorized or incorrect modiﬁcation of an

FMRC Approved Product unit will negate

the Approval rating of the product.

Repair of FMRC Approved Products

REPAIRS FOR MOTOROLA PRODUCTS

WITH FMRC APPROVAL ARE THE

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.

You should not repair or relabel any Motorola-

manufactured communication equipment

bearing the FMRC Approval label (“FMRC

Approved Product”) unless you are familiar

with the current FMRC Approval standard for

repairs and service (“Class Number 3605”).

You may want to consider using a repair facility

that operates under 3605 repair service approval.

W A R N I N G

English

SAFETY

WARNINGS

• Incorrect repair or relabeling of

any FMRC Approved Product

unit could adversely affect the

Approval rating of the unit.

• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in

a hazardous atmosphere could result in

serious injury or death.

FMRC’s Approval Standard Class Number

3605 is subject to change at any time without

notice to you, so you may want to obtain a

current copy of 3605 from FMRC. Per the

December 1994 publication of 3605, some key

deﬁnitions and service requirements are as

follows:

Repair

A repair constitutes something done internally

to the unit that would bring it back to its original

condition—Approved by FMRC. A repair

should be done in an FMRC Approved facility.

Items not considered as repairs are those in

which an action is performed on a unit which

does not require the outer casing of the unit to

be opened in a manner which exposes the

internal electrical circuits of the unit. You do not

have to be an FMRC Approved Repair Facility

to perform these actions.

Relabeling

The repair facility shall have a method by which

the replacement of FMRC Approval labels are

controlled to ensure that any relabeling is

limited to units that were originally shipped

from the Manufacturer with an FM Approval

label in place. FMRC Approval labels shall not

be stocked by the repair facility. An FMRC

Approval label shall be ordered from the

original manufacturer, as needed, to repair a

speciﬁc unit. Replacement labels may be

obtained and applied by the repair facility,

provided there is satisfactory evidence that the

unit being relabeled was originally an FMRC

Approved unit. Veriﬁcation may include, but is

not limited to: a unit with a damaged Approval

label, a unit with a defective housing displaying

an Approval label, or a customer invoice

indicating the serial number of the unit and

purchase of an FMRC Approved model.

Menu Keys

Selecting a Feature

A unique feature of your radio is its use of the

display to give you quick access to many of the

radio’s features without having to have a dedicated

key for each feature.

The names of the features (CALL, MUTE, etc.) are

shown on the display, three at a time. Selection of

features is controlled by the three keys directly

below the feature names: the left key controls the

left feature, the middle key controls the middle

feature, and the right key controls the right feature.

Softkeys (l;l)

When already in Menu Mode, these keys are used

to make Menu selections.

Left and Right Arrow Keys (,/)

The left and right arrow keys are used to scroll the

display forward or backward through the radio’s

features and lists. There is no end point to the list,

so if you continue to scroll in one direction, the

display will “wrap around” back to the beginning of

the list. If you hold either key down, the display will

scroll at a faster rate until the key is released.

The left arrow key is also used for editing when you

are entering information manually from the keypad.

Pressing the left arrow key, when editing numeric

information (such as telephone numbers), will

backspace, and erase the display, one character at

a time. If you have erased all the digits, an additional

press of the left arrow key will return the display to

the pre-programmed list.

Pressing the left arrow key, when editing alphabetic

information (such as member’s names), will move

the cursor one step to the left.
