Thank you for choosing your
Motorola phone from a global
leader in communications
technology. All Motorola digital
cellular phones are designed
and manufactured to meet
Motorola’s rigorous
specifications and world-class
quality standards. During
development, our laboratory
testing team took your cellular
phone through rigorous
durability tests including
temperature, humidity, shock,
dust, vibration, and drop tests—
and the phone still worked!
We are confident that the phone you purchased will
meet your own exacting standards. Enjoy your
Motorola phone.
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).
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.
v
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
T o operate your phone most ef ficiently, 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,
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.
vi
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.
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.
vii
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 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.
viii
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.
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.

Using the Battery
About Your Batteries
Your phone uses Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
batteries in either AAAL or AA sizes.
Note:
In an emergency, you can use four AA
alkaline batteries for 5-10 minutes of talk time.

Notes:
• Talking on the phone uses more power than
leaving it idle. The more power used 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 features selected.
• Talk and standby times are lower in Analog
mode. Your phone operates more efficiently
in Digital mode.
Storing and Disposing of Batteries
To prolong battery life, do not expose a battery to
temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C
(113°F). Do not leave your phone in your car.
To dispose of batteries, check with your local
recycling center for a nearby battery recycler.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire.
Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow
metal objects to contact or short-circuit the battery
terminals.

Battery Charging Tips
To ensure maximum battery life:
• Always use Motorola approved battery
chargers.
• When charging, keep the battery at or near
room temperature.
• 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.
• Do not leave a NiMH battery connected to
any charger for longer than 24 hours.
A new NiMH battery can require several full charge/
discharge cycles to reach its optimum performance
level. After this initial series of charge/discharge
cycles, recharge the battery at your convenience.
Quick Change Power Source
The quick change feature enables you to switch
power sources during an active call without losing
the connection. If you hear a low-battery warning
during a call, plug in the Vehicle Power Adapter or
the AC adapter.
16
Charge Times
The following table shows the time required to
charge each battery type to a 90% power level:
Battery T ype
NiMH AAAL (700 mAH)4 hrs.
NiMH AA (1200 mAH)6 hrs.
When the battery reaches 90%, it slow charges until
it is fully charged. It is normal for batteries to
become warm during charging.
If the phone is turned on while batteries are
charging, charge times will be longer than those
listed above.
