Operating Instructions
•
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the
Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. It is important to transmit
50% of the time or less, because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when
transmitting.
•
Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of the face with the microphone (and other parts of
the radio including the antenna) at least 2.5 cm (one inch) away from the nose or lips. Keep the
antenna away from the eye. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important as RF exposure
decreases with increasing distance from the antenna.
•
When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Motorola Solutions-approved clip, holder,
holster, case, or body harness. The use of non-Motorola Solutions-approved accessories may result
in exposure levels exceeding the IEEE/ICNIRP occupational/controlled environment RF exposure
limits.
•
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your radio as you would a wireless telephone. Speak
directly into the microphone.
Approved Accessories
Use only Motorola Solutions-approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories.
Use of non-Motorola Solutions-approved antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed IEEE/
ICNIRP RF exposure guidelines.
For a list of Motorola Solutions-approved antennas, batteries, and other accessories, contact
your dealer or local Motorola Solutions contact. Your nearest dealer can be found at
www.motorolasolutions.com.
