Important:

Motorola mobile devices are
designed to work best with qualified
batteries. If you see a message on your
display such as

to confirm that it bears a Motorola
“Original Equipment” hologram;

•

If there is no hologram, the battery
is not a qualified battery;

•

If there is a hologram, replace the
battery and retry charging it;

•

If the message remains, contact a
Motorola Authorized Service
Center.

•

New batteries or batteries stored for a
long time may take more time to
charge.

• Charging precautions:

When

charging your battery, keep it near

room temperature. Never expose
batteries to temperatures below 0°C
(32°F) or above 45°C (113°F) when
charging. Always take your mobile
device with you when you leave your
vehicle

•

When storing your battery, keep it in a
cool, dry place.

•

It is normal over time for battery life to
decrease, and for the battery to exhibit
shorter runtime between charges or
require more frequent or longer
charging times.

• Avoid damage to battery and mobile
device.

Do not disassemble, open,
crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred,
or submerge the battery or mobile
device. Avoid dropping the battery or
mobile device, especially on a hard
surface. If your battery or mobile
device has been subjected to such

damage, take it to a Motorola
Authorized Service Center before
using.

Do not attempt to dry it with an

appliance or heat source, such as a hair
dryer or microwave oven.

• Use care when handling a charged
battery

—particularly when placing it
inside a pocket, purse, or other
container with metal objects. Contact
with metal objects (e.g., jewelry, keys,
beaded chains) could complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit), causing
the battery to become very hot, which
could cause damage or injury.

Promptly dispose of used batteries in
accordance with local regulations.
Contact your local recycling center for
proper battery disposal.

charge from your computer

You can partially charge your phone’s
battery by connecting a Motorola-approved
USB cable from your phone’s mini-USB port
to a high power USB connector on a
computer (not a low-power one, such as the
USB connector on your keyboard or bus­powered USB hub). Typically, USB high­power connectors are located directly on your
computer.

Note:

The phone will be charged as a slower

rate than it is charged with the rapid charger.
Your computer must be turned on, and you

must have correct software drivers installed
on your computer. If the Phone is off when

the USB cable is connected between the
computer and the phone, the phone will
power up in charging mode. This mode allows
the phone to charge fastest and quickest.

Note:

If the battery is very low, the phone will
not turn On, but it will continue to charge at a
low rate.

If the phone is turned on while charging from
a computer, it will not fully charge the battery.
In this case, the battery charge will be
maintained approximately between 80% and
95% of the battery's capacity. Cables and

use GPS with map software

Your phone is enabled with a highly-capable
GPS receiver that sends location information
to a USB port on a PC, laptop, or PDA.

Note:

No serial port connectivity is provided
by your phone. Applications on the host
device which are expecting to receive the
GPS location information via a serial port must
instead use a Virtual Serial Comm Port.

The data sent to the host device is formatted
as prescribed in the National Marine
Electronics Association 0183 V3.0 (NMEA-

0183) standard. As such it supports the
following sentences: GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV,
RMC, and VTG.

This handset is not a full NMEA-0183
compliant device supporting electrical RS­422/RS-232 connectivity as dictated by the

NMEA-0183 standard. Consequently it's
unsuitable for conventional marine NMEA­0183 equipment use. Its intended use is for
normal "terrestrial" mobile users who want to
enable their USB hosting computing devices
such as a PC, laptop or PDA with the phone's
highly-capable GPS functionality.

get connected

1

Slide open the phone's bottom
connector and insert a mini-USB cable
into the phone's bottom connector.

2

Insert the other end of the mini-USB cable
into a vacant USB receptacle of your host
device. A virtual USB Comm Port will be
created on your host device upon
successful enumeration of the phone as a
USB Communications Device Class
device.

3

Ensure no application in your host device
is using the created COMM port. You

Set your phone to start sending NMEA­0183 formatted location information.

Your phone is now actively sending location
NMEA-0183 formatted GPS data to your USB
host device.

To stop your phone from sending location
data:

Find it: M >

Note:

GPS > Interface > NMEA OUT > Off.

Each time you power your phone Off,
NMEA OUT is automatically set to Off and
you need to manually restart it using the
menu selections above.

Your USB host device will generally provide
charging power (5V, up to 500mA) to your
phone via the mini-USB cable therefore no
other charging power to it will normally be
required. However some laptops may require
that you provide external AC/DC power to the
laptop in order for it to provide full 500mA
charging current capability to the phone.

emergency service personnel find you, if you
are in a location where your phone's GPS
antenna has established a clear view of the

Operational Precautions

To assure optimal radio product performance and to be sure that
human exposure to RF does not exceed the guidelines set forth in
the relevant standards, always follow these instructions and
precautions :

Two-way radio operation

Your radio product has been designed and tested to comply with
national and international standards and guidelines regarding
human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy, when operated in
the two-way mode (at the face, or at the abdomen when using an
audio accessory) at usage factors of up to 50% talk/50% listen.

Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To
transmit (talk), push the PTT button. To receive calls, release the
PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time or less, is important
because this radio generates measurable RF energy only when
transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).

ALL MODELS WITH FCC ID IHDT56HG1 MEET
THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits
are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are
based on standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
conducted using standard operating positions reviewed by the FCC
with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in
all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone
while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels
so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the
lower the power output.

Safety Information

Tests for SAR are

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that is does not exceed the limit
established by the government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g.,
at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested
for use at the ear is 1.54 W/kg and when tested on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 1.48 W/kg during packet data
transmission. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements.)

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
searching on FCC ID IHDT56HG1.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association
(CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com

Hearing Aid Compatibility

A number of Motorola phones have been tested for hearing aid
compatibility. When some wireless phones are used with certain
hearing aids, users may detect a noise which can interfere with
the effectiveness of the hearing aid.

Some hearing aids are more “immune” than others to this
interference noise, and phones can also vary in the amount of
interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19 was
developed to provide a standardized means of measuring both
mobile phone and hearing aids to determine usability rating
categories for both.

Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist hearing
aid users find phones that may be compatible with their hearing
aid. Not all phones have been rated for compatibility with hearing
aids. Phones that have been rated have a label with the rating(s)
located on the box, and at www.motorola.com/accessibility

These ratings are not guarantees of compatibility. Results will vary
depending on the user's hearing aid and individual type and degree
of hearing loss. If a hearing aid is particularly vulnerable to
interference, even a phone with a higher rating may still cause
unacceptable noise levels in the hearing aid Trying out the phone
with your hearing aid is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.

likely to be more usable with a hearing aid's telecoil (“T Switch”
or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the “better” or
higher of the two ratings.) On those models with a telecoil mode
setting, this rating is determined only with the phone so set. For
setting instructions, see “Features for the Hearing Impaired” in the
section entitled “Advanced Calling Features”. Note that not all
hearing aids have telecoils in them.

Hearing aids may also be measured for immunity to interference
from wireless phones and may have ratings similar to wireless
phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for the rating of
your hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your
phone to determine the estimated usability:

: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for

: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are

•

Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers
excellent use.

•

Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal
use.

•

Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.

Thus, if you use an M3 phone with a M3 hearing aid you will have
a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This methodology
applies equally for T ratings.
