Safety Information
Important:
wireless handheld phone.
Read this information before using your
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low
power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is
ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency
(RF) signals.
In August 1996, The Federal Communications
Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless
phones. Those guidelines are consistent with safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
•
American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) IEEE. C95. 1-1992
•
National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP) Report 86
•
International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
Those standards were based on comprehensive
and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific
literature. For example, over 120 scientists,
engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry
reviewed the available body of research to develop
the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC
guidelines (and those standards).
vi
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.
Phone Operation
Normal Operation
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone,
with the antenna pointed up and over your
shoulder.
Tip on Efficient Operation
To operate your phone most efficiently, do not
touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is
in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality
and may cause the phone to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise needed.
Batteries
Caution:
injury, or burns if a conductive material, such as
jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches exposed
terminals. The material may complete an electrical
circuit and become quite hot. To protect against
such unwanted current drain, exercise care in
handling any charged battery, particularly when
placing it inside your pocket, purse, or other
container with metal objects. When the battery is
detached from the phone, your batteries are
packed with a protective battery cover; please use
this cover for storing your batteries when not in use.
All batteries can cause property damage,
vii
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of
wireless telephones in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them. Observe the following
guidelines when using your phone while driving.
•
Give full attention to driving--driving safely is
your first responsibility.
•
Use hands-free phone operation, if available.
•
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 signals. However, certain equipment may
not be shielded against the RF signals from your
wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six
inches (6") be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research.
viii
Persons with pacemakers:
•
should ALWAYS keep the phone more than
six inches from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned ON
•
should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
•
should use the ear opposite the pacemaker
to minimize the potential for interference
•
should 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 external
RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist
you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when
any regulations posted in these areas instruct you
to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle. You should
also consult the manufacturer of any equipment
that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted
notices so require.
ix
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in
the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an
aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn
your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in
areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all
signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF and do not remove your
battery when you are in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and
instructions.
Sparks from your battery 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,
but are not limited to: fueling areas such as
gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where
fuel odors are present (for example, if a gas/
propane leak occurs in a car or home); areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such
as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other
area where you normally would be advised to turn
off your vehicle engine.
x
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. Do NOT place
objects, including both installed or portable
wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or
in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly installed and the
air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Battery Talk-Time and Standby-Time
Talk-time
refers to the time you can talk on your
phone before the battery is fully discharged.
Standby-time
is the time that your phone is on but
not used for talking.
Notes:
• Talking on the phone uses more power than
leaving it idle. The more power you use for
talking, the less you’ll have for standby-time,
and vice-versa.
• All times are approximate and depend on the
battery used, network configuration, signal
strength, and the features selected.
• Talk and standby times are lower in analog
mode.
• Your phone operates more efficiently in
Digital mode. If the
D icon is displayed in the
lower left corner, your phone’s performance
is reflected in the digital section of the table
below.
The following table shows ranges for battery talktimes and standby times.

Battery Charging Tips
To ensure that you enjoy maximum battery life and
use your battery to its fullest capacity:
• Always use Motorola approved battery
chargers.
• For the best results, charge Li-Ion batteries
using the E•P™ Desktop Charger or your
phone’s internal charger.
• The battery should be at or near room
temperature when charging.
• New batteries or batteries that have been
stored for long periods of time may not rapid
charge properly. In these instances, the
battery requires an overnight charge.
Batteries
• When you don’t intend to use a battery for a
while, store it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry
place, such as a refrigerator.
• Over extended periods of time, batteries
gradually wear down and require longer
charging times. This is normal. If you charge
your battery regularly and notice a decrease
in talk-time or an increase in charging time,
then it is probably time to purchase a new
battery.
25
Quick Change Power Source
The quick change feature enables you to switch
power sources while a call is in progress without
losing the call. If you hear a low-battery warning
while you are in a call, plug in the vehicle power
adapter or AC adapter.
