Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories
The Motorola Solutions communications equipment certified as intrinsically safe by the approving
agency (FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC, or ATEX/IECEx) is tested as a complete system which consists
of the listed agency approved portable, approved battery, and approved accessories or options, or
both. This approved portable and battery combination must be strictly observed. There must be no
substitution of items, even if the substitute has been previously approved with a different Motorola
Solutions communications equipment unit. The approving agency (FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC, or ATEX/
IECEx) lists all the approved configurations.
The Intrinsically Safe Approval Label affixed to the radio refers to the intrinsically safe classification of
that radio product, and the approved batteries that can be used with that system.
The manual part number 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 voids the intrinsically safe approval of that radio unit.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
If inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility, nearly
every electronic device is susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).
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.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum
separation of 15 cm (6 in.) be maintained between a hand-held wireless radio and a pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•
ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15 cm from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
•
Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
•
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential of interference.
•
Turn the radio OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
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 on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in
accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.
