Safety and General Information
When using your radio product as a traditional
two-way radio while making group or private calls
with the Group/Private Speaker ON (no speaker
icon visible in the display), hold the radio product
in a vertical position with the microphone one to
two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the lips.
For body-worn operation, with or without an
earpiece or any other accessory, the antenna should
be kept at least one inch (2.5 cm) from the body
when transmitting. A Motorola accessory, a leather carry case with a
belt clip, is available for body-worn use.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is ÒIN USEÓ. Holding the
antenna affects call quality and may cause the radio product to operate
at a higher power level than needed.
Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However,
certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your
radio product.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
¥
ALWAYS keep the radio product more than six inches from the
pacemaker when the radio product is turned ON.
¥
Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket.
¥
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
¥
Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some radio products may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
