Safety and General Information

Safety Infor mation

This section contains important information on the safe and
efficient operation of your mobile device. Read this information
before using your mobile device.

Exposure To Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

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

* The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety

information in user’s guides published prior to September 1, 2005.

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

Operational Precautions

To assure optimal mobile device performance and to be sure human
exposure to RF energy does not exceed the guidelines set forth in the
relevant standards, always follow these instructions and precautions.

External Antenna Care

If your mobile device has an external antenna, use only a Motorola­supplied or approved replacement antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the mobile device and/or may
result in your device not complying 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.

*

Safety and General Information

Phone 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 bodsy 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 website at

www.motorola.com.

RF Energy Interference/Compatibility

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 mobile
device may cause interference with other devices.

Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference
Problems

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

In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by
airline staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar
feature, consult airline staff about using it in flight.

Safety and General Information

10

Pacemakers

If you have a pacemaker, consult your physician before using this device.
Persons with pacemakers should observe the following precautions:

•

ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than 20 centimeters
(8 inches) from your pacemaker when the mobile device is
turned ON.

•

DO NOT carry the mobile device 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 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.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the 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 device 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. Use 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.

Safety and General Information

11

Responsible driving best practices can be found in the “Smart Practices
While Driving” at the end of this guide and/or at the Motorola website:

.

Operational Warnings

Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in public areas, such as
health care facilities or blasting areas.

Automobile Air Bags

Do not place a mobile device in the air bag deployment area.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always
posted, and can include fueling areas such as below decks on boats,
fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, or areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
When you are in such area, turn off your mobile device, and do not
remove, install, or charge batteries. In such areas, sparks can occur
and cause an explosion or fire.

Damaged Products

If your mobile device 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. Do not attempt to dry it with an external heat
source, such as a microwave oven.

Batteries and Chargers

If jewelry, keys, beaded chains, or other conductive materials touch
exposed battery terminals, this could complete an electrical circuit
(short circuit), become very hot, and could cause damage or injury.
Be careful when handling a charged battery, particularly when placing
it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.

Use only Motorola Original™ batteries and chargers.

Safety and General Information

12

Caution:

your battery in a fire.

Your battery, charger, or phone may contain symbols, defined as follows:

To avoid risk of personal injury, do not dispose of

Symbol Definition

Important safety information follows.

Do not dispose of your battery or mobile device in a fire.

Your battery or phone may require recycling in
accordance with local laws. Contact your local
regulatory authorities for more information.

Do not throw your battery or mobile device in the trash.

LiIon BATT

Your mobile device contains an internal lithium ion
battery.

Do not let your battery, charger, or mobile device get
wet.

Listening at full volume to music or voice through a
headset may damage your hearing.

Choking Hazards

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

Glass Parts

Some parts of your mobile device may be made of glass. This glass could
break if the product is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial
impact. If glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove. Stop using your
mobile device until the glass is replaced by a qualified service center.

Safety and General Information

13

Seizures/Blackouts

Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when
exposed to flashing lights, such as when playing video games. These may
occur even if a person has 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 physician before playing video
games or enabling a flashing-lights feature (if available) on your mobile
device. Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the following
symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness,
involuntary movements, or disorientation. It is always a good idea to hold
the screen away from your eyes, leave the lights on in the room, take a
15-minute break every hour, and stop use if you are very tired.

Repetitive Motion

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.
If you continue to have discomfort during or after such use, stop use and
see a physician.

Specific Absorption Rate Data

SAR 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 scientific 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 Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobiles devices used
by the general public is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this
device when tested at the ear was 0.88 W/kg.
a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the
body as described in this user guide.
SAR value is 0.35 W/kg.

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.

The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific
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.
