Battery Tips
Battery life depends on the network, signal strength, temperature,
features, and accessories you use.
• Always use Motorola Original batteries and
chargers. The warranty does not cover damage
caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers.
• New batteries or batteries stored for a long time
may take more time to charge.
• When charging your battery, keep it near room temperature.
• When storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a cool, dark,
dry place.
• Never expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or
above 45°C (113°F). Always take your phone with you when you
leave your vehicle.
• It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and require
longer charging times. If you notice a change in your battery life,
it is probably time to purchase a new battery.
Contact your local recycling center for proper
battery disposal.
Warning:
Never dispose of batteries in a fi re because they
may explode.
Before using your phone, read the battery safety information in the
“Safety and General Information” section.

Specifi c Absorption Rate Data
This model meets international guidelines for exposure to
radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended
by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by
the independent scientifi c organization ICNIRP and include safety
margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specifi c
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobile devices
used by the general public is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value
for this device when tested at the ear was 0.51 W/kg.
1
As mobile
devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other
positions, such as on the body as described in this user guide.
2
In this case, the highest tested SAR value is 0.77 W/kg.
1
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting power,
the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that
indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level
of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum level required to
reach the network.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the governmental
requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements
to this product model could cause differences in the SAR value for
later products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the
guidelines.
Page 24
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientifi c
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for
the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your
exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using
a “hands-free” device to keep the mobile phone away from the head
and body.
Additional Information can be found on the websites of the
World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/emf) or Motorola,
Inc. (http://www.motorola.com/rfhealth).
1.
The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for
testing. The limit incorporates a substantial margin for safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements. Additional related information includes the Motorola
testing protocol, assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty
range for this product.

* The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety
information in user’s guides published prior to May 1, 2007.
Page 28
DO NOT hold the external antenna when the mobile device is
IN USE. Holding the external antenna affects call quality and may
cause the mobile device to operate at a higher power level than
needed.
Product Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your mobile device just
like you would a landline phone.
If you wear the mobile device on your body, always place the mobile
device in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case,
or body harness. If you do not use a body-worn accessory supplied
or approved by Motorola, keep the mobile device and its antenna at
least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body when transmitting.
When using any data feature of the mobile device, with or without an
accessory cable, position the mobile device and its antenna at least
2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body.
Using accessories not supplied or approved by Motorola may cause
your mobile device to exceed RF energy exposure guidelines.
For a list of Motorola-supplied or approved accessories, visit our
Web site at:

• DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
• Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some mobile devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid
manufacturer or physician to discuss alternatives.
Page 30
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult your physician
or the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy.
Driving Precautions
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices in the
area where you drive. Always obey them.
When using your mobile device while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road. Using a mobile
device may be distracting. Discontinue a call if you can’t
concentrate on driving.
• Use handsfree operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
Responsible driving practices can be found in the “Smart Practices

Smart Practices While Driving
Drive Safe, Call Smart
SM
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile
devices and their accessories in the areas where you
drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may
be prohibited or restricted in certain areas. Go to
www.motorola.com/callsmart
for more information.
Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data—almost
anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless service is available and
safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving is your fi rst
responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device while driving,
remember the following tips:
• Get to know your Motorola mobile device and its features
such as speed dial and redial. If available, these features help
you to place your call without taking your attention off the road.
• When available, use a handsfree device.
If possible, add an additional layer of convenience
to your mobile device with one of the many
Motorola Original handsfree accessories available
today.
• Position your mobile device within easy reach.
Be able to access your mobile device without removing your eyes
from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient
time, if possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.
• Let the person you are speaking with know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffi c
or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice,
and even heavy traffi c can be hazardous.
Page 38
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Jotting down a “to do” list or going through your address book
takes attention away from your primary responsibility—driving
safely.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffi c; if possible, place calls
when your car is not moving or before pulling into traffi c.
If you must make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that
may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware
you are driving and suspend conversations that can divert your
attention away from the road.
• Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or other
local emergency number in the case of fi re, traffi c accident,
or medical emergencies.*
• Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies.
If you see an auto accident, crime in progress, or other serious
emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.*
• Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency
wireless assistance number when necessary. If you see
a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffi c
signal, a minor traffi c accident where no one appears injured,
or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance
or other special non-emergency wireless number.*
* Wherever wireless phone service is available.
