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 contained in user guides published prior to July 2000. For information regarding radio use in a hazardous atmosphere please refer to the Factory Mutual (FM) Approval Manual Supplement or Instruction Card, which is included with radio models that offer this capability.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The phone operates in the frequency range of 824 MHz to 849 MHz in analog and digital mode and 1851.25 MHz to 1908.75 MHz in digital mode.
When you communicate with your phone, the system handling your call controls the power levels at which your phone transmits. The output power level typically may vary over a range from 0.0 watts to 0.60 watts in analog mode and 0.0 watts to 0.30 watts in digital mode.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola phone is designed to comply with the following national and international standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy:
11
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) of the United States, Report 86, 1986
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation-Human Exposure) Standard 1999
To assure optimal phone performance and make sure human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth in the above standards, always adhere to the following procedures:
Portable Phone Operation and EME Exposure
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.
Do NOT hold the antenna when the phone is in use. Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Phone Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone as you would a wireline telephone. Speak directly into the microphone.
12
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC/Health Canada RF 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 product. Use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may exceed FCC/Health Canada RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use one of the Motorola-supplied or approved body-worn accessories, and are not using the phone held in the normal use position,
ensure the phone and its antenna are at least one 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 one inch
(2.5 centimeters) from your body.
Approved Accessories
For a list of approved Motorola accessories, visit our website at
www.mot.com
.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your phone in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
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.
13
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by, and recommendations of, the United States Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
ALWAYS keep the phone more than six 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.
14
Safety and General Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the area where you drive. Always obey them.
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.
Operational Warnings
For Vehicles With an Air Bag
Do not place a portable phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable 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 the phone is a model specifically identified as being “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, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
15
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 areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Operational Cautions
Antennas
Do not use any portable phone that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches 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.

Battery Use

Battery performance depends on many factors, including your wireless carriers network conguration; signal strength; the temperature at which you operate your
24
phone; the features and/or settings you select and use; and your voice, data, and other application usage patterns.
Battery Care
Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.
To maximize your batterys 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 long periods of 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 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.
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.
The rechargeable batteries that power this product must be disposed of properly and may
About Your Phone

need to be recycled. Refer to your batterys label for battery type. Contact your local recycling center for proper disposal methods. Never dispose of batteries in a re because they may explode.
Extending Battery Life
• Turn off the display backlight
The backlight uses power. To turn it off, see
page Initial Setup on page 55.
• Minimize keypad-intense functions
Activities that require intensive keystroke use
(such as playing a game or using messaging) reduce your phone’s talk and standby time. Lock the keypad when storing the phone in your purse or pocket to avoid unnecessary keypad and backlight activations. See page 137.
