Safety and General

Information

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND

EFFICIENT OPERATION.

READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING

YOUR INTEGRATED MULTI-SERVICE

PORTABLE RADIO.

RF Operational

Characteristics

Your radio product contains a radio frequency transmitter to convey the information you wish to send as well as occasional automatic signals used to sustain connection to the wireless network, and a receiver which enables you to receive communication and connection information from the network.

Portable Radio Product

Operation and EME Exposure

Your Motorola radio product is designed to comply with the following national and international standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy (EME):

RF Operational Characteristics

• United States Federal Communications

Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47

CFR part 2 sub-part J.

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) /

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

(IEEE). C95. 1-1992.

• Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

(IEEE). C95. 1-1999 Edition.

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing

Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998.

• Ministry of Health (Canada). Safety Code 6.

Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency

Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999.

• Australian Communications Authority

Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic

Radiation - Human Exposure) Standard 2003.

Safety and General Information

To assure optimal radio product performance and make sure human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth in the above standards, always adhere to the following procedures:

Phone Operation

When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your radio product as you would a wireline telephone.

Speak directly into the microphone.

Two-way radio operation

Your radio product has been designed and tested to comply with national and international standards and guidelines regarding human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy, when operated in the two-way mode (at the face, or at the abdomen when using an audio accessory) at usage factors of up to 50% talk/50% listen.

Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the

Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).

When using your radio product as a traditional two-way radio, hold the radio product in a vertical position with the microphone one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the

lips.

Body-worn operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a radio product on your body when transmitting, always place the radio product in a Motorola approved clip, holder,

holster, case or body harness for this product.

Use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a Motorola approved body-worn accessory and are not using the radio product in the intended use positions along side the head in the phone mode or in front of the face in the two-way radio mode, then ensure the antenna and the radio product are kept the following minimum distances from the body when transmitting

• Phone or Two-way radio mode: one inch (2.5 cm)

• Data operation using any data feature with or without an accessory cable: one inch (2.5 cm)

Portable Radio Product Operation and EME Exposure

ALL MODELS WITH FCC ID AZ489FT5844 MEET THE

GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE

TO RADIO WAVES.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.

Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific

Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is

1.6W/kg.

1 Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions reviewed by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that is does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest

SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.05 W/kg and when tested on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.15 W/kg during packet data transmission. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.) 2

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID

AZ489FT5844.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry

Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.

1 In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

2 The SAR information reported to the FCC includes the

FCC-accepted Motorola testing protocol, assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this product.
