MICRO T•A•C ELITE
Introduction
General Precautions and Safety
IMPORTANT
Read This Information Before Using Your
MICRO T•A•C ELITE Personal Cellular Telephone
First introduced in 1984, the hand-held portable cellular
telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative
electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay
in contact with your office, your home, emergency
services, and others.
For the safe and efficient operation of your phone,
observe these guidelines.
Your cellular telephone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out
radio frequency (RF) energy. The phone operates in the
frequency range of 824 MHz to 894 MHz and employs
commonly used frequency modulation (FM) techniques.
When you use your phone, the cellular system handling
your call controls the power level at which your phone
transmits. The power level can range from 0.006 of a
watt to 0.6 of a watt.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
In 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992, the
American National Standards Institute
(ANSI), updated the 1982 ANSI Standard
for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF
energy. Over 120 scientists, engineers and physicians
from universities, government health agencies and
industry, after reviewing the available body of research,
developed this updated Standard. In March, 1993, the
U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
proposed the adoption of this updated Standard.
Essential Information
6
Introduction
The design of your phone complies with this updated
Standard. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure
even further than the updated ANSI Standard, you may
choose to control the duration of your calls and operate
your phone in the most power efficient manner.
Efficient Phone Operation
For your phone to operate at the lowest power level,
consistent with satisfactory call quality, please observe
the following guidelines:
If your phone has an extendible antenna, extend it fully.
Some models allow you to place a call with the antenna
retracted. However, your phone operates more
efficiently with the antenna fully extended. Hold the
phone as you would any other telephone. While
speaking directly into the mouthpiece, position the
antenna up and over your shoulder.
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.
Antenna Care and Replacement
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a
damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a
minor burn may result. Replace a damaged antenna
immediately; take your phone to a qualified service
center for repair.
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Nonapproved antennas, modifications, or attachments could
impair call quality, damage the phone, and violate FCC
regulations.

MICRO T•A•C ELITE
Introduction
Batteries
CAUTION: All batteries can cause property damage,
injury or burns if a conductive material, such as jewelry,
keys or beaded chains, touches exposed terminals. The
material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit)
and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any
charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your
pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. To
protect against a short circuit when the battery is
detached from the phone, your batteries contain internal
short circuit protection and are packed in a protective
battery cover; please use this cover for storing your
batteries when not in use.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular
telephones in the areas where you drive. Some
jurisdictions prohibit your using a cellular telephone
while driving a vehicle. Even if your jurisdiction does not
have such a law, we strongly suggest that, for safety
reasons, the driver use extreme caution when operating
the cellular telephone while the vehicle is in motion.
Always obey them. Also, when using the phone while
driving, please:
•give full attention to driving,
•use hands-free operation, if available, and
•pull off the road and park before making or answering
a call if driving conditions so require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF
energy. However, RF energy from cellular telephones
may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RF energy may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic operating and
entertainment systems
in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative to determine if these systems are
8
Introduction
adequately shielded from external RF energy. You
should also check with the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical
devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in the areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft
Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft.
• Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
• Do not use it in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems,
U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations
require you to have permission from a crew member
to use your phone while the plane is on the ground.
To prevent interference with cellular systems, FCC
regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane
is in the air.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your phone. It is not a
toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking
themselves or others in the eye with the antenna for
example). Children also could damage the phone, or
make calls that increase your telephone bills.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your
unit OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted:
“Turn off two-way radio.” Construction crews often use
remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
9
MICRO T•A•C ELITE
Introduction
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your
phone or its
accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often,
but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling
areas such as gas stations; below deck 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.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle which
contains your phone or accessories.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire
Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this
standard, contact the National Fire Protection
Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA
02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.

charged before placing your phone into service. The
batteries are shipped from the factory in a discharged
state in order to extend the life of the battery. It is
recommended that you charge new batteries
overnight, but not longer than 24 hours, using a
Motorola-approved charger. For optimum
performance, we recommend you use Motorolaapproved batteries, chargers, and other accessories
with your phone.
Motorola desktop chargers for the MICRO T•A•C
ELITE line of products are dual pocket chargers. The
charger’s front pocket can charge a battery while
attached to the phone or charge a battery on its own.
The charger’s rear pocket will charge any size battery
by itself. See Accessory Options on page 146 for
additional detailed information on the various chargers
and charging times.
WARNING
Battery may explode if disposed of in fire.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the batteries, do not
place them anywhere that might cause the battery
terminals to short together.

Basic
Operation
1. Press ∏ again to turn phone off.
The Signal Strength Indicator (SSI) represents the
relative strength of the signal received by your phone.
The SSI is displayed as a column of five LED lights on
the left side of the telephone display.
The relative signal strength received may fluctuate for
a number of reasons, including your location within a
coverage area, buildings, tunnels, parking garages
and other obstructions, and atmospheric conditions.
The higher the level displayed, the stronger the signal
being received by your phone.
To best utilize the SSI, you should familiarize yourself
with the relative signal strength levels and their
associated call placement and call-in-progress
qualities. If no Signal Strength LEDs are lit, your red

(No Service) LED above the Signal Strength
Indicator will flash. This indicates that you are
currently in an area where you cannot make or
receive cellular phone calls.
When the display is on, all LEDs will light. When the
display goes blank to save power, one LED will flash
at a time up to the level of signal strength received.
The Battery Level Indicator (BLI) represents the
current strength of the battery being used. You can
use this to estimate the amount of battery capacity
remaining. The BLI is displayed as a three-level bar

EXPERIENCED USER Access:
In addition to the dedicated battery meter, you can
view the same information in the display by pressing
Ï, ›.
The MICRO T•A•C ELITE is equipped with an internal
E•P rapid charger. The internal E•P, or ‘Expert
Performance’, charging system allows you to charge
the battery attached to the phone. Matching the E•P
internal charger with an E•P battery takes advantage
of the Expert Performance charging system. The E•P
charging system provides a ‘smart’ charge in which
the E•P battery ‘talks’ to the E•P charger to help
achieve both optimal charge capacity and life (number
of charge/discharge cycles) for your battery. The
internal charger will also charge non-E•P batteries.
Simply plug either the AC power supply or the Ultra
Saver II cigarette lighter adapter into the receptacle
on the bottom of your phone. (In some vehicles, the
ignition must be on in order to charge the phone using
the cigarette lighter adapter.) While recharging, the
phone can be used. With the phone on or off, the
Battery Level Indicator will flash to indicate the
charger is actively charging the attached battery. The
three level bar graph will indicate the charge level of
the battery. When the three level bar graph reaches
the third bar, the Battery Level Indicator will stop
flashing and remain on, indicating that the battery is
approaching fully charged status.
Internal E•P™ Rapid Charger
23
MICRO T•A•C ELITE
Basic
Operation
The AC power supply or Ultra Saver II cigarette lighter
adapter will power the phone without attaching a
battery.
Some Motorola batteries, like the alkaline battery
pack, will not charge. When external power is
supplied and a battery that will not charge is attached,
the Battery Level Indicator extinguishes to inform you
that the charger is not attempting to charge the
attached battery.
See Accessory Options on page 146 for additional
information.
Approximate Charge Times
Operating the phone extends the time required to
recharge the battery.
The actual time required to charge a battery is a
function of the battery’s depth of discharge, number of
charge/discharge cycles, temperature, etc.
