POP3 email messages, browse the Internet, download J2ME applications and organise your
communication needs using the large touch screen.
Your handset comes equipped with:
• A Scheduler diary with reminder alert functions
• A NotePad and InkPad to capture moments of thoughts- which can be sent as faxes or beamed
via infrared to compatible devices
• World Time and Alarm Clock
• A Graphical Composer to enable you to personalise your ringer tones
• A powerful Scientific calculator
• Conversion tools for Foreign exchange and units
• Advanced GPRS functionality for fast and efficient data transfer
The advanced design of the handset together with the capability of the software make the A008
a revolutionary new concept in mobile communications.
Introduction 1
2 Introduction
Safety and General Information
Important Information
on Safe and Efficient Operation
Read this Information before using your Personal
Communicator
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information contained in
user guides published prior to this date. For information regarding radio use in a hazardous
atmosphere please refer to the Factory Mutual (FM) Approval Manual Supplement or Instruction
Card, which is included with radio models that offer this capability.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your Personal Communicator contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The Personal Communicator operates in the frequency range
of
900 MHz to 1990 MHz and employs digital modulation techniques.
When you communicate with your Personal Communicator, the system handling your call controls
the power level at which your personal communicator transmits. The output power level typically
may vary over a range from 0.063 watts to 1.58 watts.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola Personal Communicator is designed to comply with the following national and
international standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal 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
• International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom 1995
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
• Australian Communications Authority Radio Communications (Electromagnetic Radiation -
Human Exposure) Standard 1999 (applicable to wireless phones only)
Safety and General Information 3
To assure optimal 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 Personal Communicator Operation and EME Exposure
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorised antennas, modifications,
or attachments could damage the Personal Communicator and may violate FCC and/or other
applicable regulations.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the Personal Communicator is “IN USE”. Holding the antenna
affects call quality and may cause the Personal Communicator to operate at a higher power level
than needed.
Phone Operation
The Personal Communicator is designed to be used with a headset for talking and listening. The
Personal Communicator can also be placed inside the holster, then the holster can be clipped onto
your belt, pocket, handbag, or other apparel and used with the headset.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear the Personal Communicator
on your body when transmitting, always place the Personal Communicator in a Motorola supplied
or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness. Use of non-Motorola-approved accessories
may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the
antenna is at least one inch (2.5 cm) from your body when transmitting.
Approved Accessories
For a list of approved Motorola accessories, look in the accessory section of this manual.
Electromagnetic Interference / Compatibility
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 Personal
Communicator 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 Personal Communicator when on board an aircraft. Any
use of a Personal Communicator must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew
instructions.
4 Safety and General Information
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(15 centimetres) 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 Personal Communicator more than six inches (15 centimetres) from their
pacemaker when the Personal Communicator is turned ON.
• Not carry the Personal Communicator in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for interference.
• Turn the Personal Communicator OFF 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 in Vehicles
Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in your vehicle. You are advised to always
obey them.
When using your Personal Communicator in a vehicle, please:
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call.
Safety and General Information 5
Operational Warnings
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place the Personal Communicator in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. Air bags inflate with great force. If the Personal Communicator is placed in the air bag
deployment area and the air bag inflates, the Personal Communicator may be propelled with great
force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your Personal Communicator prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless it is especially qualified for use in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe” (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 explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death.
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fuelling 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 Personal Communicator 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 the Personal Communicator if it 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 jewellery, keys, or beaded chains touch 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.
