IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT
OPERATION. READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE
USING YOUR PHONE.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
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 890 MHz to 915 MHz, 1710 MHz to
Safety Information
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 level at which your
phone transmits. The output power level typically may vary
over a range from 0.0 to 2.0 watts for the 900 MHz band,
0.0 watts to 1.0 watts for the 1800 MHz band, and
0.0 watts to 0.89 watts for the 1900 MHz 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:
•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. 11992
8
•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 (applicable to
wireless phones only)
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
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.
Safety Information

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 one of the Motorolasupplied or approved body-worn accessories, and are not
using the phone held in the normal use position,
the phone
and its antenna are at least one inch (2.5
centimeters) from your body when transmitting

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
ensure
.
10
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 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 their 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 the phone 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.
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in
Safety Information
11
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. 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.
Safety Information
• POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn off you phone prior to entering any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a phone
type especially qualified for use in such areas as
“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 advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with
potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not
always posted.
12
• 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.
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 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.TC01-100

when charging.
•
Do not 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.
•
When you do not intend to use a battery for a while,
store it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place. Store
batteries in their protective cases when not in use.
•
New batteries or batteries that have not been used for
long periods of time may require a longer charge time.
Charge such batteries for at least 14 hours, but not
more than 24 hours.
•
Over extended periods of time, batteries gradually
wear down and require longer charging times. This is
normal. If you charge the battery regularly and notice
a decrease in talk time or an increase in charging
time, it is probably time to purchase a new battery.
