Two-way Radio Operation
When using your radio as a traditional two-way radio, hold the
radio in a vertical position with the microphone one to two
inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the lips.
Body-worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC/Health Canada RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a radio on your body when transmitting,
always place the radio in a Motorola supplied or approved clip,
holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Use of
non-Motorola-approved accessories may exceed FCC/Health
Canada RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use one of the
Motorola-supplied or approved body-worn accessories, and
are not using the radio held in the normal use position, ensure
the radio and its antenna are at least one inch (2.5 cm) away
from your body when transmitting.
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the
general population/uncontrolled environment exposure limits,
always adhere to the following procedure:
• Transmit no more than 50% of the time.
• To transmit (talk), push the M button.
• To receive calls, release the M button.
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the
radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when
transmitting (in terms of measuring standards compliance).
Data Operation
If applicable, when using any data feature of the radio, with or
without an accessory cable, position the radio and its antenna
at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the body.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY
Note: 
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded,
designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
• Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility
conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted
notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
• Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when on board an
aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with
applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.
• Devices
- Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends
that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be
maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by, and recommendations of, the United
States Food and Drug Administration.
