In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with these exposure guidelines, your radio generates
measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or
in standby mode.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for two-way
radios before they can be marketed in the U.S.
When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be
fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. The use of a
product label directing users to specific user awareness information can facilitate exposure awareness.
Your Motorola Solutions two-way radio has Exposure Product Label. Do not remove this RF Exposure
Label from the device. Also, your Motorola Solutions user manual, or separate safety booklet includes
information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance
requirements.
RF Energy Exposure Awareness, Control Information, and Operational
Instructions for Occupational Use
NOTE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions where users have
full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet the
occupational limits in FCC/ICNIRP and International standards. This radio device is not
authorized for general population consumer use.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide
communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy
or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other
forms include, but are not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused
with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly, can cause biological
damage. High levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop
standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF
exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include
substantial margins of protection.
All Motorola Solutions two-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure that they
meet government-established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific
operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important because they inform
users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.
Refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control
your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits:

RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines
Always adhere to the following procedures to control RF exposure to yourself and others and also to
comply to the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits.
•
Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
•
User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
•
Do not use this device if it does not meet the operational requirements.
