Safety and General Information

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

Exposure To Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.

Your Motorola phone is designed to comply with local regulatory requirements in your country concerning exposure of human beings to RF energy.

Operational Precautions

To assure optimal phone performance and make sure human exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always adhere to the following instructions.

External Antenna Care

If your phone has an external antenna, use only the supplied or Motorola-approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and/or may result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.

Do NOT hold the external antenna when the phone is IN USE. Holding the external 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 phone.

Safety and General Information

Body-Worn Operation: Voice Communication

To maintain compliance with RF energy exposure guidelines, if you wear a phone on your body when transmitting voice communications, always place the phone in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this phone, if available. Use of accessories not approved by Motorola may exceed RF energy exposure guidelines.

If you do not use one of the body-worn accessories approved or supplied by Motorola, and are not using the phone held in the normal use position, ensure the phone and its antenna are at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) 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 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body.

Approved Accessories

Use of accessories not approved by Motorola, including but not limited to batteries, antennas, and convertible covers, may cause your phone to exceed RF energy exposure guidelines. For a list of approved Motorola accessories, visit our website at

RF Energy Interference/Compatibility

Note:

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to RF energy interference from external sources if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for RF energy compatibility. In some circumstances your phone may cause interference.

Note:

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.

Safety and General Information

Facilities

Turn off your phone in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. These facilities may include hospitals or health care facilities that may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

Aircraft

Turn off your wireless device whenever instructed to do so by airline staff. If your device offers a flight mode or similar feature, consult airline staff about use in flight. If your device offers a feature that automatically turns on the phone, then turn off this feature before boarding an airplane or entering an area where the use of wireless devices is restricted.

Medical Devices

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker.

Persons with pacemakers should:

•

ALWAYS keep the phone more than 15 centimeters (6 inches) 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.

Safety and General Information

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 the area where you drive. Always obey them.

When using your phone while driving, please:

•

Give full attention to driving and to the road. Using a phone may be distracting in certain circumstances. 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 best practices can be found in the “Wireless Phone Safety Tips” at the end of this guide and/or at the Motorola website:

Operational Warnings

For Vehicles With an Air Bag

Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a 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.

Gas or Petrol Stations

Obey all posted signs with respect to the use of radio equipment in gas or petrol stations. Turn off your wireless device if instructed by authorized staff.

Safety and General Information

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. 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. 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 electronic devices.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Damaged Products

If your phone or battery has been submerged in water, punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you take it to a Motorola Authorized Service Center to determine if it has been damaged. Do not attempt to dry it with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven.

Batteries and Chargers

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 hot. Take care when handling a charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.

and chargers.

Caution: To avoid risk of personal injury, do not dispose of your battery in a fire.

Use only Motorola Original™ batteries

To limit the likelihood of such symptoms, please take the following safety precautions:

•

Do not play or use a flashing-lights feature if you are tired or need sleep.

•

Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.

•

Play in a room in which all lights are on.

•

Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.

Repetitive Motion Injuries
