Safety Information

Important:

Read this information before using your wireless

handheld phone.

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) C95.1 1992

• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement
(NCRP) Report 86 1986

• 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).

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.

5

Safety Information

Tips on Efficient Operation

For your phone to operate most efficiently:

• Extend your antenna fully.

• 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:

All batteries can cause property damage, injury, or burns if
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 it is
inside your pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. Your
batteries are packed with a protective cover. When the battery is
detached from the phone, please use this cover for storing your
batteries.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the
areas where your drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone
while driving, please:

• Give full attention to driving—driving safely is your first
responsibility.

• Use hands-free 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 electronic 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 (6") inches 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. Persons with pacemakers:

6

• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from
their pacemaker when the phone is on.

• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.

• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn your phone off immediately.

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.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit phone usage while in the air. Switch off your
phone before boarding an aircraft.

7

Safety Information

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 and 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 would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine.

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.

This feature updates you each time a message is sent to your

Using Caller ID

Caller ID allows you to view the number of the calling party
in the phone’s display while the phone is ringing. Your Digital
StarTAC™ cellular phone also stores the telephone numbers
of the last 20 incoming calls.

If the caller’s phone number matches a phone number stored
in the phone’s memory, the phone automatically displays the
name associated with that phone number. The display of the
name-tag or phone number is controlled through your setting

Name Preference feature. (See ”Phone Book Display

of the
Preferences” on page 52.)

If you subscribe to call waiting and receive a call while
another call is in progress, you hear a call waiting tone and
the caller’s number appears on the display. The number will
automatically be stored and can be viewed after ending the
call, using the procedure described on the next page.

your home system but only one number can be active at any
given time. Calls are placed and received by the currently
active number only. Each time you turn your phone ON, you’ll

Reference Information

Accessory Options

An exciting line of StarTAC phone accessories, now smaller
and lighter than ever, can enhance and personalize your
cellular experience.

Batteries

Lithium Ion batteries are different from other batteries in that
you can leave them in the charger as long as you like. Nickel
Metal Hydride batteries should not be left in the charger for
more than 24 hours.

If your cellular phone is quickly becoming your companion, an
optional auxiliary battery will give your phone a boost.
Auxiliary batteries attach to the back of your phone and
provide extra talk-time in addition to your main battery.

See page 19-22 for battery talk-times and standby-times.

88

Cigarette Lighter Adapter

With the cigarette lighter adapter , you can power your phone
and charge your phone’s battery directly from your vehicle’s
cigarette lighter! In some cars, the engine must be running in
order for the cigarette lighter to operate.

Desktop Charger (AC Adapter required)

The desktop charger is designed for optimal performance and
compatibility with Motorola’s new generation of cellular
telephones. The desktop charger’s front pocket can charge
batteries while they are attached to your phone, and the rear
pocket can charge batteries separately. Now it’s easy to
rotate batteries and always have a charged spare.

Holster

The StarTAC phone is so small and light, it’s positively
wearable. Slip it in and clip it on—for the ultimate in high­tech fashion.

Headset

The convenient headset provides both an earphone and
microphone in one small piece for simple hands-free and
private telephone conversations. The headset plugs directly
into the jack on the top of your phone, so that you can wear
your phone and move freely. Place the foam cover on the
earpiece for a more comfortable fit.

When you use the headset, your phone’s intelligent circuitry
automatically enables the Multiple Key Answer feature
(page 82), so you can answer calls with any key on the side
of your phone. You can even use the Smart Button to end
calls. You’ll never need to open your phone to take a call.

89

With the headset in place, closing the phone will not end a
call. This allows you to store the phone conveniently during
the call. To end a call while using the headset, press the
Smart Button twice or press

º.

PCMCIA Modems

These compact modems are made for mobility and plug
directly into the bottom of your StarTAC phone, so you can
send and receive FAXes, e-mail and data. The PCMCIA
modem works with data devices using a standard PCMCIA
Type II slot.

Hands-Free Vehicle Kit

The optional Hands-Free Kits give you the convenience of
hands-free, speaker phone operation while in your car. Full
duplex operation lets you simultaneously talk and listen, so
both parties can interrupt each other for a normal sounding
conversation.

The Hands-Free Kit powers the phone and charges its battery
whenever your car’s engine is running. An optional external
antenna can improve your signal reception and boost
performance.

Troubleshooting

Q. I pressed the power button, but nothing happened. What’s wrong with my phone?
A. Check that you have installed a battery and that the battery is charged. See pages 11-18 for more

information about batteries and charging. Be sure to press and hold

Q. My battery didn’t last as long as I expected. What can I do to extend battery life?
A. Your battery’s “talk-time” and “standby-time” are relative measurements of the battery’ s capacity. The more

you talk on the phone, the less standby-time you will have, and vice versa.
To get the most from your battery, allow it to charge fully. To charge the battery to 100% of its capacity,

leave it in the charger for an extra hour after the charger’s light turns green.
Also remember that battery performance varies greatly between digital mode and analog mode. See the

table on page 11.
Certain features demand power from your battery and reduce battery life. If you have selected the

Automatic Display of Individual Call Timer feature, the display uses battery power to remain active during
each call. Turn this feature off to conserve battery energy. (See page 56 for more information on this
feature.)

Exposing your battery to extreme temperatures—below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F)—can shorten
battery life. Batteries are especially sensitive to high temperature extremes. As a good rule, always take
your phone with you when you leave your car.

Q. The display says, “Locked.” How do I unlock my phone?
A. Enter the last three digits of your cellular number. If that doesn’t work, use the factory preset lock code: 123.

If all else fails, call your service provider (the company that sends you your monthly cellular bill) for
assistance. (See ”Using Lock/Security Features” on page 63 for more information on Security Features.)

Q. I tried to place a call and received a fast busy signal.
A. This sound means that the cellular system did not process your call. For example, the cellular system may be

overloaded with call attempts. To redial the number, press

º and try the call again later. (See ”Redialing a Number” on page 25 for more information on redialing.)

Q. I tried to place a call and received an alternating high/low tone.
A. This sound means your call did not reach the cellular system. You may have dialed the number too soon after

turning the phone on. Wait until the NS indicator goes out before placing a call.
An alternating tone may also indicate that your phone’s signal is blocked. Make sure the antenna is fully

extended and you’re clear of any obstructions such as bridges, parking garages, or tall buildings.

Q. I am in my home service area, but the Roam indicator is on.
A. If your phone is programmed with more than one telephone number, you might not have switched to the

number appropriate for your current location. Press
”Switching Between Numbers” on page 77 for more information on multiple phone numbers.

Q. I tried to listen to my Voice Mail (or use a paging service, a calling card, etc.) but nothing happened.
A. You have probably turned off the Scratchpad tones. Place your call, enter the access numbers when

prompted by the recording, then press
on page 62 to turn the Scratchpad tones on.

Q. What if my phone beeps several times after power up?
A. The phone is programmed for Call ReceiveOff. See ”Blocking Incoming Calls” on page 81 for information.

Q. I tried to place a calling card call using the internal Phone Book, but it didn’t work.
A. You may have turned off your Scratchpad tones. Follow the directions in ”Turning Scratchpad Tones On and

Off” on page 62 to turn the Scratchpad tones on. Check that you stored your calling card information in the
correct order, and make sure the groups of numbers are separated by pauses. The easiest way to correct the
sequence may be to start from scratch. Follow the instructions on page 47, enter your calling card
information again, and store it in the same memory location as your previous attempt.

Also keep in mind that when using your calling card, you must enter the number you are calling with the
area code, but without the initial “1.” Check with your long distance carrier for details on using your calling
card.

Q. My phone was stolen. What should I report and to whom?
A. Report a stolen phone to the police and to your service provider (the company that sends you your monthly

cellular service bills).

‰,æ. To avoid this problem in the future, follow the directions

‰, »,¬ to switch to the other number. See
