ATTENTION!
Motorola and Vertex Standard have just announced their Intent-to-Cancel all FM-certified Intrinsically Safe two-way radios, effective December 2015.  

This deadline affects all Land Mobile Radio manufacturers and all Motorola and Vertex Standard professional radios that are certified Intrinsically Safe under the FM3610_88 standard.

Motorola and Vertex Standard are adapting their two-way radios to the UL-approved “TIA-4950 for Hazardous Location” standard. This new certification is similar to the previous FM3610_88 standard, and batteries have been available to the public since Q1 2015.

FM two-way radio options will be available only through the following dates:
Last date to order: December 15, 2015
Last date to ship: December 31, 2015
FM Safe Batteries and Accessories will still be available to purchase after December 2015.
Repair support will also be available at FM audited repair facilities.

If you have questions about how this may affect you, contact RCS Communications immediately for assistance.


Check back with us frequently, as more information becomes available, regarding this Intent-to-Cancel notice.
