Additional Information

SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION. READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR INTEGRATED MULTI-SERVICE MOBILE RADIO.
For the safe and efcient operation of your radio, observe these guidelines. Your radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and 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 0.03 of a watt to 3 watts.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. In addition, the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP) has established standards containing RF exposure guidelines. Motorola iDEN products comply with these standards.
Antenna and Installation Considerations
All equipment must be properly installed according to Motorola installation instructions. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the radio, or result in violation of the ICNRP or the FCC.
Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from the radio transmitter may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment. Do not operate the radio when any person is within 6 inches (0.15 meters) of the antenna. That person may be using a pacemaker, a
hearing aid or other personal electronic device which may not be adequately shielded.
Interference to other Electronic Devices
RF energy may affect improperly installed 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 energy. Also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the vehicle.

Use while driving

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.

Caution

Blasting Areas and Explosives

WARNING

Do not operate the radio near electric blasting caps, or in a blasting area, to avoid the possibility of triggering an explosion. T your radio urn OFF when in a blasting area or in areas where such requirements are posted.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your radio OFF 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.
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 ammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle which contains your radio or accessories. Vehicles powered by liqueed petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association. One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publications Sales Division.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inates 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 inates, this could cause serious injury. Installation of vehicle communication equipment should be performed by a professional installer/technician qualied in the requirements for such installations. An air bags size, shape, and deployment area can vary by vehicle make, model, and front compartment conguration (for example, bench seat vs. bucket seats). Contact the vehicle manufacturers corporate headquarters, if necessary, for specic air bag information for the vehicle make, model, and front compartment conguration involved in your communication equipment installation.

Cleaning Instructions

Clean the external surfaces of the handset with a damp cloth, using a mild solution of dishwashing detergent and water. Some household cleaners may contain chemicals which could seriously damage the housing. Avoid the use of any petroleum-based solvent cleaners. Also, avoid applying liquids directly on the unit.

Status Indicator Table

There are three status indicators to the left of the display which visually tell you the different states of your unit. The top indicator is red, the middle indicator is yellow, and the bottom is green. Below is a description of these indicators. Status Indicator Solid Green Blinking Green Solid Yellow Blinking Yellow Solid Red Blinking Red Illuminates While: Talking/Transmitting In Service Reserved for Future Use Reserved for Future Use No Service Registering on a Network

The area within which your unit operates is dened by your service provider. Since this is a radio system, no exact boundaries (as on a map) can be drawn. The red status indicator (No Service) lights solid if you are beyond range of a service area. There may be locations within your area, such as tunnels and underground parking facilities, where the unit may act as if it were beyond range.
