Safety Information
 
General
 
This manual includes specifications, fundamental disassem-
bly/reassembly procedures, schematic diagrams, component 
location diagrams, flex circuit diagrams, several parts lists, 
theory of operation, and troubleshooting sections to cover 
the GP350 radios. Hereafter, the text will refer collectively to 
the GP350 radios as “this family of radios.” For operation of 
the radio, refer to the applicable manual available separately. 
Throughout the text in this publication, you will notice the 
use of warnings, cautions, and notes. These notations are 
used to emphasize that safety hazards exist, and care must be 
taken and observed.
 
WARNING
 
An operational procedure, practice, or condi-
tion, etc., which may result in injury or death
 
if not carefully observed.
 
CAUTION
 
An operational procedure, practice, or condi-
tion, etc., which may result in damage to the
 
equipment if not carefully observed.
NOTE
 
An operational procedure, practice, or condi-
 
tion, etc., which is essential to emphasize.
 
FCC Safety Information
 
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 fre-
quency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-regu-
lated equipment. Motorola subscribes to the same safety 
standards for the use of its products. Proper operation of this 
radio will result in user exposure substantially below the 
FCC recommended limits.
 
Do not
 
 hold the radio with the antenna very close to, or
touching, exposed parts of the body, especially the face,
ears, or eyes, while transmitting. Hold the radio in a ver-
tical position with the microphone two to three inches
away from the lips.
 
Do not
 
 hold the transmit switch (PTT) on when not actu-
ally desiring to transmit.
 
Do not
 
 allow children to play with any radio equipment
containing a transmitter.
 
Do not
 
 operate this equipment near electrical blasting
caps or in an explosive atmosphere. Under certain con-
ditions, radios can interfere with blasting operations.
When you are in the vicinity of construction work, look
for, and observe, signs cautioning against radio trans-
mission. If radio transmission is prohibited, you must
not transmit until out of the area. Furthermore, you must
turn off your radio to prevent any accidental transmis-
sion.
 
Do not
 
 replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmo-
sphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or
removing batteries and cause an explosion.
Turn radio off when removing or installing a battery.
