National and international regulations require manufacturers to comply with the RF energy
exposure limits for portable two-way radios before they can be marketed. Your Motorola
Solutions two-way radio is designed, manufactured, and tested to comply with all applicable
national and international regulations for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy.

Acoustic Safety
Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may temporarily or
permanently affect your hearing. The louder the volume of the radio, the sooner your hearing
will be affected. Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first, and can
have a cumulative effect.
To protect your hearing, follow these precautions:
• Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
• Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.
• Turn down the volume before putting on a headset or headphones.
• Limit the amount of time you use a headset or headphones at high volume.
• When using the radio without a headset or headphones, do not place the speaker of the
radio directly against your ear.
Medical Devices
If you use a personal medical device, such as a pacemaker or hearing aid, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Holsters Incorporating Magnets
Motorola Solutions holsters incorporate strong, neodymium magnets. If you use a personal
medical device, such as a pacemaker or hearing aid, consult the manufacturer of your device
to determine if it can be used in close proximity to magnets. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information. Also be aware that magnets can damage other
products, including cell phones, computers, hard drives, and other electronic devices, as well
as credit cards and magnetic media. Keep the holster away from any mechanical device that
could be affected by a magnetic field. Consult the manufacturer of your product to determine if
your device or product can be used in close proximity to magnets.

1. The power supply is for use with equipment according to IEC/EN/UL 62368-1/60950-1.
2. The power supply is for indoor use in dry locations.
3. The equipment shall be connected to a nearby and easily accessible socket outlet.

Warning:
• Refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual prior to installation of electronic
equipment to avoid interference with air bag wiring.
• DO NOT place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio

Warning:
• Do not carry a radio that is not certified for Hazardous
Locations into a potentially explosive atmosphere. It could
result in a serious injury or death. You should only use a
radio certified for hazardous locations in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
• Explosive atmospheres refer to hazard classified locations that may
contain hazardous gas, vapors, dusts, such as fueling areas below decks
on boats, fuel, or chemical transferor 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.
• DO NOT remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas, or remove or
install antennas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Caution:
Use only Motorola Solutions approved batteries. Risk of
explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
!
!
The Intrinsically Safe Approval Label affixed to radio refers to the intrinsically safe
classification of that radio product, and the approved batteries that can be used with that
system.
The manual PN referenced on the Intrinsically Safe Approval Label identifies the approved
accessories and or options that can be used with that portable radio unit.
Using a non-Motorola Solutions-intrinsically safe battery and/or accessory with the Motorola
Solutions-approved radio unit will void the intrinsically safe approval of that radio unit.
