Safety and General Information

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE
AND EFFICIENT OPERATION. READ
THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING
YOUR PHONE.

RF Operational Characteristics

Your phone contains a transmitter and a
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The
phone operates in the frequency range of
890 MHz to 915 MHz in analog and digital
mode and 1710 MHz to 1785 MHz in
digital mode.

When you communicate with your phone,
the system handling your call controls the
power levels at which your phone
transmits. The output power level typically
may vary over a range from 2 watts to 1
milliwatt.

Exposure To Radio Frequency
Energy

Your Motorola phone is designed to
comply with the following national and
international standards and guidelines
regarding exposure of human beings to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy
(EME):

•

United States Federal Communications
Commission, Code of Regulations; 47
CFR part 2 sub-part J

•

American National Standards Institute
(ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992

•

Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition

•

National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements (NCRP)
of the United States, Report 86, 1986

To assure optimal phone performance and
make sure human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy is
within the guidelines set forth in the above
standards, always adhere to the following
procedures:

Safety and General Information

Portable Phone Operation and
EME Exposure

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the phone and may violate
regulations.

Do NOT hold the antenna when the phone
is in use. Holding the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the phone to
operate at a higher power level than
needed.

Phone Operation

When placing or receiving a phone call,
hold your phone as you would a wireline
telephone. Speak directly into the
microphone.

taishan.book Page 13 Thursday, March 1, 2001 8:53 AM

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a phone on your
body when transmitting, always place the
phone in a Motorola-supplied or

approved clip, holder, holster, case, or

body harness. Use of non-Motorola­approved accessories may exceed FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If you do not use a
body-worn accessory, and are not holding
the phone in the normal use position at
the ear, ensure the antenna is at least one
inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body
when transmitting.

Data Operation

When using any data feature of the
phone, with or without an accessory cable,

position the phone antenna at least
one

inch (2.5 centimeters) from your

body.

Approved Accessories

For a list of approved Motorola
accessories, visit our website at
www.motorola.com.

Electromagnetic Interference/
Compatibility

Note: Nearly every electronic device is
susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded,
designed, or otherwise configured for
electromagnetic compatibility.

Facilities

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/
or compatibility conflicts, turn off your
phone 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.

Safety and General Information

taishan.book Page 14 Thursday, March 1, 2001 8:53 AM

Aircraft

When instructed to do so, turn off your
phone when on board an aircraft. Any use
of a phone must be in accordance with
applicable regulations per airline crew
instructions.

Medical Devices

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers
Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be
maintained between a handheld wireless
phone and a pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by, and
recommendations of, Wireless Technology
Research.

Persons with pacemakers should:

• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six
inches (15 centimeters) from your

Safety and General Information

14

pacemaker when the phone is turned
ON.

• NOT carry the phone in the breast
pocket.

• use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference.

• turn OFF the phone immediately if you
have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones 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

taishan.book Page 15 Thursday, March 1, 2001 8:53 AM

may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.

Safety and General

Use While Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use
of phones in the area where you drive.
Always obey them.

When using your phone while driving,
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 driving
conditions so require.

Operational Warnings

For Vehicles With an Air Bag

Do not place a portable phone in the area
over an air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. An air bag inflates with
great force. If a portable phone is placed in
the air bag deployment area and the air
bag inflates, the phone may be propelled
with great force and cause serious injury
to the vehicle’s occupants.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your phone prior to entering any
area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless the phone is a model
specifically identified as being “Intrinsically
Safe” for use in such areas (for example,
Factory Mutual, CSA, or UL Approved). Do
not remove, install, or charge batteries in
such areas. Sparks in a potentially
explosive atmosphere can cause an

Safety and General Information

15

taishan.book Page 16 Thursday, March 1, 2001 8:53 AM

explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death.

Note: Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres include fueling areas such as
below decks on boats, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, areas where
the air contains chemicals or particles such
as grain, dust, or metal powders, and any
other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres are often but not always
posted.

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with
blasting operations, turn OFF your phone
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.

Safety and General Information

16

Operational Cautions

Antennas

Do not use any portable phone that has a
damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with your skin, a minor
burn can result.

Batteries

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 conductive 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.
