FCC Safety Standards
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with
its action in General Docket 79-144, March 13, 1985,
has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated equipment. Motorola subscribes to the same
safety standard for the use of its products. Proper
operation of this radio will result in user exposure
substantially below FCC recommended limits:
• Do not hold the radio with the antenna very close
to, or touching, exposed parts of the body,
e s p e c i a l l y t h e f a c e , e a r s , o r e y e s , w h i l e
transmitting. Hold the radio in a vertical position
with the microphone two to three inches away
from the lips.
• Do not hold the transmit switch (PTT) on when
not actually desiring to transmit.
• Do not allow children to play with any radio
equipment containing a transmitter.
• Do not operate radio transmitters near explosive
blasting caps.The transmitted radio energy may
trigger a blasting cap and cause an explosion.
• Do not operate radio transmitters in an explosive
atmosphere unless it is a type especially qualified
for such use. An explosion may result.
• D o n o t r e p l a c e o r c h a r g e b a t t e r i e s i n a
hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may
occur while installing or removing batteries and
cause an explosion.
• Turn radio off when removing or installing a
battery.
Anyone intending to use a radio in a hazardous area is
advised to become familiar with the subject of intrinsic
safety and with Section 70 of the National Fire Code,
which is commonly referred to as Article 500 of the
National Electric Code. Use of anything but factory
supplied components may affect the approval and safety of
the radio. Likewise, it is advised that servicing should be
performed only by qualified personnel who adhere to the
following Factory Mutual (FM) required warning:
WA R N I N G : M o d i f i c a t i o n o f F M a p p r o v e d
intrinsically safe radios will negate Factory Mutual
Research Corporation (FMRC) approval.
