Safety and General Information

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION. READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR PHONE.

The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information in user guides published prior to December 1, 2002.

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 procedures.

External Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or Motorola-approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone.

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. In addition, use of unauthorized antennas may result in non-compliance with the local regulatory requirements in your country.

CG.GSM.E398.book Page 15 Monday, May 10, 2004 10:35 AM

Phone Operation

When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone as you would a wireline telephone.

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with RF energy exposure guidelines, if you wear a phone on your body when transmitting, always place the phone in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this phone, where 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 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) 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 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body.

Approved Accessories

Use of accessories not approved by Motorola, including but not limited to batteries and antenna, 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.

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.

CG.GSM.E398.book Page 16 Monday, May 10, 2004 10:35 AM

Aircraft

When instructed to do so, turn off your phone when on board an aircraft. Any use of a phone must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.

Medical Devices

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker.

Persons with pacemakers should:

• ALWAYS keep the phone more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from your pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.

• NOT carry the phone in the breast pocket.

• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize 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 shielded from RF energy. Your physician 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.

CG.GSM.E398.book Page 17 Monday, May 10, 2004 10:35 AM

When using your phone while driving, please:

• Give full attention to driving and to the road.

• 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 may be found at the Motorola website:

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.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a phone type especially qualified for use in such areas and certified as “Intrinsically Safe.” 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.

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

CG.GSM.E398.book Page 18 Monday, May 10, 2004 10:35 AM

areas posted “Turn off electronic devices.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Batteries

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 quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. Use only Motorola original batteries

and chargers.

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

Symbol Definition

Important safety information will follow.

Your battery or phone should not be disposed of in a fire.

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

Your battery or phone should not be thrown in the trash.

LiIon BATT

Your phone contains an internal lithium ion battery.

Seizures/Blackouts

Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to blinking 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

CG.GSM.E398.book Page 19 Monday, May 10, 2004 10:35 AM

playing video games on your phone or enabling a blinking-lights feature on your phone. (The blinking-light feature is not available on all products.)

Parents should monitor their children's use of video game or other features that incorporate blinking 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 blinking-lights feature if you are tired or need sleep.

• Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.

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

• Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.

Repetitive Motion Injuries

When you play games on your phone, 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.

Caution: Do not bend or scratch your memory card. Avoid exposing your memory card to static electricity, water, or dirt.

Battery Use

Battery performance depends on many factors, including your wireless carrier’s network configuration; signal strength; the temperature at which you operate your phone; the features and/or settings you select and use; items attached to the phone’s accessory connector; and your voice, data, and other application usage patterns.

Getting Started

Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.

CG.GSM.E398.book Page 24 Monday, May 10, 2004 10:35 AM

To maximize your battery’s performance:

• Always use Motorola Original batteries and battery

chargers. The phone warranty does not cover damage caused from using non-Motorola batteries and/or battery chargers.

• New batteries or batteries that have been stored

for a long time may require a longer charge time.

• Maintain the battery at or near room temperature

when charging.

• Do not expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C

(14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). Always take your

Getting Started

phone with you when you leave your vehicle.

• When you do not intend to use a battery for a while,

store it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place, such as a refrigerator.

• 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.

The rechargeable batteries that power this phone must be disposed of properly and may

need to be recycled. Refer to your battery’s label for battery type. Contact your local recycling center for proper disposal methods.

Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.
