This document is a guide to the RF energy exposure and product safety of Motorola two-way radios. It contains important operating instructions to ensure safe use and RF energy awareness and control to comply with applicable standards and regulations.
This Motorola guide covers RF energy exposure awareness and control for portable two-way radios intended for occupational/controlled use. It explains FCC requirements, exposure standards, and operating instructions such as transmitting no more than 50% of the time and holding the radio at least one inch from the nose or lips.
The guide also addresses electromagnetic interference and compatibility, including facilities, aircraft, medical devices, hearing aids, and driving. It includes acoustic safety and operational warnings for air bags, potentially explosive atmospheres, and blasting areas, and notes that the radio is not authorized for general population consumer use.
