Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility; Operational Warnings - Motorola MW 810 Manual De Usuario

Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instruc-
tions for Mobile Workstations with Two-Way Radio Installed
as Fixed Site Control Terminals
If mobile workstation with radio equipment is installed at a fixed location
and operated as a control station or as a fixed unit, the antenna installation
must comply with the following requirements in order to ensure optimal
performance and compliance with the RF energy exposure limits in the
standards and guidelines listed on page 3:
• The antenna should be mounted outside the building on the roof or a
tower if at all possible.
• As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the
licensee to manage the site in accordance with applicable regulatory
requirements and may require additional compliance actions such as
site survey measurements, signage, and site access restrictions in
order to ensure that exposure limits are not exceeded.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility. It may be necessary to
conduct compatibility testing to determine if any electronic equip-
ment used in or around vehicles or near fixed site antenna is sensi-
tive to external RF energy or if any procedures need to be followed
to eliminate or mitigate the potential for interaction between the
radio transmitter and the equipment or device.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn
off your mobile radio workstation 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.
Vehicles
To avoid possible interaction between the radio transmitter and any vehicle
electronic control modules, for example, ABS, engine, or transmission con-
trols, the mobile radio workstation should be installed only by an experi-
enced installer and that the following precautions be used when installing
the mobile radio workstation:
1. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions or other technical bulletins or
recommendations on radio installation.
2. Before installing the mobile radio workstation, determine the location of
the electronic control modules and their harnesses in the vehicle.
3. Route all mobile radio workstation wiring, including the antenna trans-
mission line, as far away as possible from the electronic control units
and associated wiring.
Driver Safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area where you
drive. Always obey them.
When using your mobile radio workstation while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Pull off the road and park before using the mobile radio workstation. Do
not monitor the display of the mobile radio workstation or type on the
keyboard while driving.

Operational Warnings

For Vehicles With an Air Bag
Do not mount or place a mobile radio workstation in
!
the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. Air bags inflate with great force.
If a mobile radio workstation is placed in the air bag
deployment area and the air bag inflates, the mobile
radio workstation 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. Sparks in a poten-
tially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion
or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
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, and areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are
often, but not always, posted.
Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting opera-
!
tions, turn off your mobile radio workstation 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.
For radios installed in vehicles fueled by liquefied
petroleum gas, refer to the (U.S.) National Fire Pro-
tection Association standard,
NFPA 58, for storage, handling, and/or container
information. For a copy of the LP-gas standard, NFPA
58, contact the National Fire Protection Association,
One Battery Park, Quincy, MA.
