SAFETY AND GENERAL
INFORMATION
IMPORTANT! Read this information before using your
phone.
RAD IO O PERATIO N
Your radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it
receives, and also transmits, radio frequency (RF) energy. The radio
operates in the frequency range of 806MHz to 866MHz, and
employs digital modulation techniques. When you use your radio,
the system handling your call controls the power level at which your
radio transmits. The power level may typically vary over a range
from 0.01 of a watt to 0.6 of a watt.
•
Expos ur e t o Radio Fr equency Ener gy
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of
the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326
adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standards* previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies. The design of your Motorola two-way radio complies with
the FCC guidelines and these standards.
*American National Standards Institute (C95.1 - 1992)
*National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP-1986)
*International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNRP- 1986)
To assure optimal radio performance and to ensure that exposure to
RF energy is within the guidelines in the above standards, follow
the operating procedures outlined below.
•
Ef fi cient Radio Oper at ion
The following practices will enable your radio to operate at the
lowest power level, consistent with satisfactory call quality.
When placing or receiving a phone call, or using the group or private
call functions with the Group/Private Speaker OFF (muted speaker
icon visible in the display), hold the radio as you would a telephone.
GETTING STARTED
39
i600
Speak directly into the mouthpiece and position the antenna up and
over your shoulder.
When using the radio 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 in a vertical
position with the microphone one to two inches
away from the lips.
For body-worn operation, the antenna should be
kept at least one inch from the body when transmitting.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE”.
Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the radio to
operate at a higher power level than needed.
•
Ant enna Cons ider at ions
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality,
damage the radio, or result in violation of ICNRP or FCC
regulations.
Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna. If
a damaged antenna comes into contact with the
skin, a minor burn may result.
!
C a u t i o n
•
Int er f er ence t o Medical and Per s onal
El ect r onic Devices
Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However,
RF energy from the radio transmitter may affect inadequately
shielded electronic equipment.
Consult the manufacturer(s) of your medical and personal electronic
device(s) (for example, a pacemaker or a hearing aid) to determine if
they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your radio OFF in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals and health care
facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF
energy.
40
GETTING STARTED
i600
•
Int er f er ence t o Ot her El ect r onic
Devices
RF energy may affect improperly or inadequately shielded
electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or representative to determine if these
systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Also
check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added
to the vehicle.
Turn your radio OFF before boarding any aircraft to prevent
possible interference to aircraft systems. Regulations of the United
States Federal Aviation Administration prohibit use when the plane
is in the air and require that you have permission from a crew
member to use your radio while the plane is on the ground.
•
Bat t er ies
All batteries can cause property damage, injury or
burns if a conductive material such as jewelry,
keys, or beaded chains touch the exposed
terminals. The material may complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite
hot. Exercise care in handling any charged
battery, particularly when placing it inside your
pocket, purse or other container. To protect
against a short circuit when the battery is
detached from the phone, keep the battery in the
insulated protective case provided with the
battery.

•
Us e Whil e Dr iving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of telephones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them.
When using the phone while driving, please:
• give full attention to driving and to the road;
• use hands-free operation, if available; and
• pull off the road and park before making or
answering a call if driving conditions so require.

Chil dr en
Do not allow children to play with your radio. It is
not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or
others (by poking themselves or others in the eye
with the antenna, for example). Children also
could damage the radio, or make calls that
increase your service bills.

C a u t i o n
•
Bl as t ing Ar eas and Expl os ives
DO NOT operate your radio near electric blasting
caps, or in a blasting area, to avoid the possibility
of triggering an explosion. Turn your radio OFF

requirements are posted.

Pot ent ial l y Expl os ive At mos pher es
Turn your radio OFF and do not replace the
battery when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your radio or
its accessories could generate sparks which might
!
trigger an explosion.
W A R N I N G
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are
often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include areas such as below deck 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.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that
contains your radio or accessories.
Vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such
as propane or butane) must comply with the
National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).

For Vehicl es Equipped wit h an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT
place objects, including communication
equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the
!
air bag deployment area. If the communication
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, this could cause serious injury.
W A R N I N G
Installation of vehicle communication equipment
should be performed by a professional installer/
technician qualified in the requirements for such
installations. An air bag’s size, shape, and
deployment area can vary by vehicle make,
model, and front compartment configuration (for
example, bench seat vs. bucket seats).
Contact the vehicle manufacturer’s corporate
headquarters, if necessary, for specific air bag
information for the vehicle make, model, and
front compartment configuration involved in your
communication equipment installation.
CLEAN IN G IN STRUCTIO N S
Clean the external surfaces with a damp cloth, using a mild solution
of dishwashing detergent and water. Some household cleaners may
contain chemicals which could seriously damage the unit. Avoid the
use of any petroleum-based solvent cleaners. Also, avoid applying
liquids directly on the portable unit.
