CNearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagneticinterference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwiseconfigured for electromagnetic compatibility. This device complies withPart 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following twoconditions:1. This device may not cause harmful interference; and2. This device must accept any interference received, includinginterference that may cause undesired operation.IC CanadaThe term "IC:" before the equipment certification number only signifiesthat the Industry Canada technical specifications were met.FacilitiesTo avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turnoff your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so.Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that issensitive to external RF energy.AircraftWhen instructed to do so, turn off your radio when onboard an aircraft.Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable regulationsper airline crew instructions.Medical Devices – PacemakersThe Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that aminimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between ahandheld wireless radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations areconsistent with the independent research by and recommendations ofthe U.S. Food and Drug Administration.People with pacemakers should:• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 cm) from theirpacemaker when the radio is turned ON.• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential forinterference.• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect thatinterference is taking place.Medical Devices – Hearing AidsSome digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In theevent of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aidmanufacturer to discuss alternatives.Medical Devices – OtherIf you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturerof your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy.Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.1?-BA4C?@7CB@B<?9C;BC+8>9BC<>)>@6Check the laws and regulations regarding the use of radios in the areawhere you drive, and always obey them. If you do use your radio whiledriving, please:• 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 drivingconditions so require.The use of a two-way radio while engaged in activities requiringconcentration may cause distraction or otherwise impair your ability tosafely 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 bagdeployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio isplaced in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radiomay be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupantsof the vehicle.Potentially Explosive AtmospheresTurn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosiveatmosphere. Only radio types that are especially qualified should beused in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe.” Do not remove, install orcharge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosiveatmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury oreven death.=<C(=<BC&@-=<3?A>=@For further information, you may call Motorola at 1-800-638-5119 (Canadaand U.S.), or e-mail us at giantintl@callcenter.com or visit us on theInternet at www.motorola.com..=AB!

Do not operate or disassemble the charger if it has received a sharpblow, or has been dropped or damaged in any way.3. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided with the unit. If the plug willnot fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualifiedelectrician. An improper condition can result in a risk of electricshock.4. To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or plug, pull the plug ratherthan the cord when disconnecting the charger from the ACreceptacle.5. To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from theoutlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.6. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Motorola mayresult in a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.7. Make sure the cord is located so it will not be stepped on, trippedover or subjected to damage or stress.8. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary.Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of a fireand/or electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make surethat:• The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number,size and shape as those on the plug of the charger.• The extension cord is properly wired and in good condition.• The extension cord size is 18 AWG for lengths up to 100 feet, and16 AWG for lengths up to 150 feet.9. The supply cord of the AC adaptor cannot be replaced.

The basic scan modeuses the channel and code combinations for each of the 22 channels asyou have set them ( or with the default code value of 1). The “AdvancedScan” mode will scan all channels for any and all codes, detect anycode in use, and use that code value temporarily for that channel.Priority is given to the “home channel,” that is, the channel (andInterference Eliminator Code) your radio is set to when you start the scan.This means the initial channel (and code setting) is scanned more oftenthan the other 21 channels, and your radio will respond quickly to anyactivity occurring on the home channel as a priority.To start Scanning:1. Briefly press the key. The scan will appear in the display, and theradio will begin to scroll through the channel and code combinations.2. When the radio detects channel activity matching the channel andcode combination, it stops scrolling and you can hear thetransmission.3.

The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five secondsafter the end of any received activity.5. To stop scanning, briefly press the key.To start Advanced Scanning:1. Set the Interference Eliminator Code to “zero” or OFF.2. Briefly press the key. The scan will appear in the display, andthe radio will begin to scroll through the channels. No InterferenceEliminator Codes will filter what is heard.3. When the radio detects channel activity with ANY code (or NOcode), it stops scrolling and you can hear the transmission. AnyInterference Eliminator Code that may be in use by that party will bedetected and displayed.4. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press within fiveseconds of the end of the transmission. The radio will transmit usingthe newly detected Interference Eliminator Code.5. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five secondsafter the end of any received activity.6. To stop scanning, briefly press the key.1:?@@>@6C.=AB;!1. If you press while the radio is scrolling through inactivechannels, the transmission will be on the “home channel”. Scanningwill resume five seconds after the end of your transmission. You maypress the key to stop scanning at any time.2. If the radio stops on an undesired transmission, you may immediatelyresume the scan by briefly pressing or .3. If the radio repeatedly stops on an undesired transmission, you maytemporarily remove that channel from the scan list by pressing andholding or for three seconds. You may remove more than onechannel in this way.4. To restore the removed channel(s) to the scan list, turn the radio offand then back on, or exit and re-enter the scanning mode bypressing .5. You cannot remove the home channel from the scan list.6. In Advanced Scan, the detected code will only be used for onetransmission. You must note the code, exit scan, and set thatdetected code on that channel to permanently use the detected code.+B?A8B<C%B:B>)B<CYour radio can tune in to broadcasts by the Environment CanadaWeatheradio.
