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
is capable of transmitting in the frequency ranges of 880 MHz to
915 MHz, 1710 MHz to 1785 MHz, and 1850 MHz to 1910 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 0.0 watts to 1.70 watts in digital mode for the 900MHz
band, 0.0 watts to 0.84 watts in digital mode for the 1800MHz
band, and 0.0 watts to 0.84 watts in digital mode for the
1900MHz band.
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
13
Safety and General Information
• 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
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human
Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the
Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
• Australian Communications Authority
Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation-Human
Exposure) Standard 1999
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:
Portable Phone Operation and EME
Exposure
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
Safety and General Information
14
attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC
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.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC/Health Canada 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 for this
product. Use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may
exceed FCC/Health Canada 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
phone and its antenna are 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 and its antenna at
least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body.

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.
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 Advanced Medical Technology 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
Safety and General Information
16
independent research by, and recommendations of, the United
States Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches
(15 centimeters) from your 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 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.
17
Safety and General Information
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. Air bags inflate 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 occupants of the vehicle.
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.” Do not remove, install, or
charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death.
Note: 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, areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal
powders, and any other area where you would normally be
Safety and General Information

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.
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.
