95C98-D.book Page 2 Tuesday, February 27, 2007 4:36 PM RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and Operational Instructions for Occupational Use NOTICE: 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 and International standards. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population consumer use.

95C98-D.book Page 4 Tuesday, February 27, 2007 4:36 PM Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines: • United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J • American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992 • Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.

95C98-D.book Page 5 Tuesday, February 27, 2007 4:36 PM 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. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).

95C98-D.book Page 6 Tuesday, February 27, 2007 4:36 PM • DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is transmitting. Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the radio product to operate at higher power level than needed. • DO NOT touch the metal surface of the antenna (in extended position) when the radio is transmitting. RF discomfort may result. Approved Accessories • Use only Motorola-approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories.

95C98-D.book Page 7 Tuesday, February 27, 2007 4:36 PM 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. Medical Devices Pacemakers The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) 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 those of the U.S.

WARNING The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, posted.

95C98-D.book Page 10 Tuesday, February 27, 2007 4:36 PM Intrinsically Safe Radio Information The Intrinsically safe approval unit refers to a product that has been approved as intrinsically safe by an approval agency (for example FM Approvals, CSA, UL, or Cenelec) and certifies that a particular product meets the Agency's applicable intrinsic safety standards for specific types of hazardous classified locations.
PAGE 11
95C98-D.book Page 11 Tuesday, February 27, 2007 4:36 PM Warnings for Radios Approved as Intrinsically Safe Radios must ship from the Motorola manufacturing facility with the hazardous atmosphere capability and the intrinsic safety approval labelling (FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC). Radios will not be upgraded to this capability and labeled once they have been shipped to the field. A modification changes the unit’s hardware from its original design configuration.
PAGE 12
95C98-D.book Page 12 Tuesday, February 27, 2007 4:36 PM ! WARNING • Failure to use an intrinsically safe approved battery or Approved accessories specifically approved for the radio unit may result in the dangerously unsafe condition of an unapproved radio combination being used in a hazardous location. • Unauthorized or incorrect modification of the intrinsically safe approved Product will negate the approval rating of the product.

95C98-D.book Page 13 Tuesday, February 27, 2007 4:36 PM A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it back to its original condition. Items not considered as repairs are those in which an action is performed on a unit which does not require the outer casing of the unit to be opened in a manner that exposes the internal electrical circuits of the unit.
