Safety and General Information
WARNING ⚠️
- All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touches 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 a pocket, purse or other container with metal objects.
- Do not replace or charge batteries in potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.
- Due to the risk of electrical shock or other physical injury, never insert your hands into the charger pocket.
Product Safety and RF Exposure Compliance
Before using this product, read the Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your radio, which contains important operating instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness and control for compliance with applicable Standards and Regulations.
Operational Warnings
WARNING ⚠️
Vehicles With an Air Bag
- Do not place a portable radio or install radio communications equipment 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.
- Installation of vehicle communication equipment should be performed by a professional installer/technician qualified in the requirements for such installations. An airbag's size, shape, and deployment area can vary by vehicle make, model, and front compartment configuration (e.g., bench seat vs. bucket seats).
- Contact the vehicle manufacturer's corporate headquarters, if necessary, for specific airbag information for the vehicle make, model, and front compartment configuration involved in your communication equipment installation.
Blasting Caps and Areas
- To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your radio off and remove it from the charger when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted "Turn off two-way radio." Obey all signs and instructions.
Operational Cautions
Efficient System Operation
- All equipment must be properly grounded according to Motorola Solutions installation instructions for safe operation.
- All equipment should be serviced only by an authorized technician.
