Safety and General Information
Important Information on Safe and Efficient Operation
Read This Information Before Using Your Radio.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded,
designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic
compatibility. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference; and
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
The information provided in this document supersedes the
general safety information in user guides published prior to
December 1, 2002.
IC Canada
The term "IC:" before the equipment certification number only
signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were
met.
Transmit and Receive Procedure
Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To
control your exposure and ensure compliance with the general
population/ uncontrolled environment exposure limits, always
adhere to the following procedure:
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility
conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
•
Transmit no more than 50% of the time.
•
To receive calls, release the PTT button.
•
To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button.
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the
radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when
transmitting (in terms of measuring standards compliance).
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
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.
Medical Devices – Other
If you use any other personal medical device, 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.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when onboard 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 recommends
that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained
between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research
by and recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration.
People with pacemakers should:
•
ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 cm) from
their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
Give full attention to driving and to the road.
•
Use hands-free operation, if available.
•
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call
if driving conditions so require.
The use of a two-way radio while engaged in activities requiring
concentration may cause distraction or otherwise impair your
ability to safely participate in such activities. Always use
technology safely.
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 is placed in the air bag deployment area and the
air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and
cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Only radio types that are especially
qualified should be used in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe.”
Do not remove, install or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks
in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or
fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Note: 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, areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust or metal
powders) and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres are often—but not always—posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off
your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a
blasting area, or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radios.”
Obey all signs and instructions.
Operational Cautions
Antennas
Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a
damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor
burn can result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such
as burns if a conductive material—like jewelry, keys or beaded
chains— touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot.
Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when
placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal
objects.
Exercise care when removing NiMH or AA batteries. Do not use
sharp or conductive tools to remove either of these batteries.

microphone. Your voice or incidental sounds will be
transmitted. The LED indicator will continue to glow for the
duration of the 22 second period.
4. After 30 seconds your radio speaker will emit a Talk
Confirmation Tone and the LED Indicator will extinguish.
Operation then returns to normal two-way mode.
Note: All Motorola Talkabout EM, MJ, MR, and MT series radios
are fully compatible with the Emergency Alert feature. Radios
other than EM, MJ, MR, and MT series can receive the
emergency alert signal, but will not respond with adjusted volume
settings, locked controls, or a warbling alert tone. Users of other
radio models set to the same channel and Interference Eliminator
Code will hear a steady tone for 8 seconds followed by the voice
transmission for 22 seconds.

Scanning Channels
Use scan to search the 22 channels for transmissions from
unknown parties, to find someone in your group who has
accidentally changed channels, or to quickly find unused
channels for your own use.
There is a priority feature and 2 modes of scanning ( basic and
advanced ) to make your search more effective. The basic scan
mode uses the channel and code combinations for each of the
22 channels as you have set them ( or with the default code
value of 1). The “Advanced Scan” mode will scan all channels
for any and all codes, detect any code in use, and use that code
value temporarily for that channel.
Priority is given to the “home channel,” that is, the channel (and
Interference Eliminator Code) your radio is set to when you start
the scan. This means the initial channel (and code setting) is
scanned more often than the other 21 channels, and your radio will
respond quickly to any activity occurring on the home channel as
a priority.
To start Scanning:
1. Briefly press the
key. The scan
will appear in the
display, and the radio will begin to scroll through the channel
and code combinations.
2. When the radio detects channel activity matching the
channel and code combination, it stops scrolling and you
can hear the transmission.
3. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press
within five seconds after the end of the transmission.
4. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five
seconds after the end of any received activity.

4. Press to return to two-way mode.
As with two-way radio reception, weather channel reception
depends on how close you are to a transmitter and whether you
are indoors or outdoors. Because weather channels are
transmitted without codes, they may contain static or noise.
Weather Alert will not function while actively transmitting or
receiving in two-way mode.
6. In Advanced Scan, the detected code will only be used for
one transmission. You must note the code, exit scan, and set
that detected code on that channel to permanently use the
detected code.
Your radio can tune in to broadcasts by the United States National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio
and Environment Canada Weatheradio.
You can listen to a weather channel (see “Weather Channels and
Frequencies” table below) or set your radio to alert you to
emergency weather broadcasts that interrupt routine broadcasts.
When you listen to a weather channel, you cannot use your radio in
