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. Unauthorised 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.

1

13

C117.book Page 14 Wednesday, June 29, 2005 4:28 PM

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

www.motorola.com.

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.

14

C117.book Page 15 Wednesday, June 29, 2005 4:28 PM

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 minimise 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

15

C117.book Page 16 Wednesday, June 29, 2005 4:28 PM

shielded from RF energy. Your GP 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 hands-free 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 at the Motorola
website: www.motorola.com/callsmart.

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.

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.

16

C117.book Page 17 Wednesday, June 29, 2005 4:28 PM

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. Use

only Motorola Original

battery.

Choking Hazards

Your phone or its accessories may include detachable parts, which
may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep your phone
and its accessories away from small children.

Seizures/Blackouts

Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts
when exposed to flashing lights, such as when watching television
or playing video games. These seizures or blackouts may occur
even if a person never had a previous seizure or blackout.

If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a
family history of such occurrences, please consult with your doctor
before playing video games on your phone or enabling a flashing­lights feature on your phone. (The flashing-light feature is not
available on all products.)

Parents should monitor their children's use of video game or other
features that incorporate flashing lights on the phones. All persons
should discontinue use and consult a doctor if any of the following
symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of
awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation.

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.

18

C117.book Page 19 Wednesday, June 29, 2005 4:28 PM

• Play in a room in which all lights are on.

• Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.

Repetitive Motion Injuries

When you repetitively perform actions such as pressing keys or
entering finger-written characters, you may experience occasional
discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of
your body. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as
tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal
disorders:

• Take a minimum 15-minute break every hour of game playing.

• If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while

playing, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.

• If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during or
after play, stop playing and see a doctor.
