Legal and Safety ..................
• Battery Use & Safety
Important: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid
injury ordamage. Most battery issues arise from improper handling
of batteries, and particularly from the continued use of damaged
batteries.
DON'Ts
• Don't disassemble, crush, puncture, shred or otherwise
attempt to change the form of your battery.
• Don't let the phone or battery come in contact with
water. Water can get into the phone's circuits, leading to
corrosion. If the phone and/or battery get wet, have them checked
by your carrier or contact Motorola, even if they appear to be
working properly.
• Don't allow the battery to touch metal objects. If metal
objects, such as jewellery, stay in prolonged contact with the
battery contact points, the battery could become very hot.
• Don't place your battery near a heat source. Excessive heat
can damage the phone or the battery. High temperatures can cause
the battery to swell, leak or malfunction. Therefore:
• Do not dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or heat
source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.
• Avoid leaving your phone in your car in high temperatures.
DOs
• Do avoid dropping the battery or phone. Dropping these
items, especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause damage.
• Do contact your service provider or Motorola if your
phone or battery has been damaged by being dropped or
by high temperatures.
Important: Use Motorola Original products for quality
assurance and safeguards. To aid consumers in identifying
authentic Motorola batteries fro m non-ori ginal or counterfeit
batteries (that may not have adequate safety protection), Motorola
provides holograms on its batteries. Consumers should confirm that
any battery they purchase has a "Motorola Original" hologram.
Note: Some mobile phones may contain a non Motorola-branded
battery without a hologram when purchased. Those batteries are
designed for use with your phone. If a replacement is needed, and a
Motorola-branded battery is not available, only the type and model
that came with your phone are recommended for use.
Important: Refer to Motorola's warranty for details of coverage and
exclusions.
Warning: Use of an improper battery or charger may present a risk
of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.
Proper and safe battery disposal and recycling: Proper battery
disposal is not only important for safety, it also benefits the
environment. Consumers may recycle their used batteries in many
retail or service provider locations. Additional information on proper
disposal and recycling may be found on the Web:
•
www.motorola.com/recycling
•
www.rbrc.org/call2recycle/
(in English only)
Disposal: Pro mptly dispose of us ed batteries in
accordance with local regulations. Contact your local
recycling centre or national recycling organisations for
more information on how to dispose of batteries.
Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may
explode.
•• BBaatttteerryy CChhaarrggiinngg
Notes for charging your phone's battery:
• 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.
• New batteries are not fully charged.
• New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more
time to charge.
• Motorola batteries and charging systems have circuitry that
protects the battery from damage from overcharging.
• If your battery is fully discharged, the phone may not display a
charging indicator during the first 5~15 minutes whilst charging.

eizures/Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts
when exposed to flashing lights, such as when playing video games.
These may occur even if a person has 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 your doctor before playing
video games or enabling a flashing-lights feature (if available) on your
mobile device.
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. It is always a good idea to
hold the screen away from your eyes, leave the lights on in the room,
take a 15-minute break every hour and stop use if you are tired.
Caution About High Volume Usage
W
arning: Exposure to loud noise from any source for
e
xtended periods of time may affect your hearing. The
l
ouder the volume sound level, the less time is required
b
efore your hearing could be affected. To protect your
h
earing:
•
Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high
v
olume.
•
Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
•
Turn the volume down if you can't hear people speaking near you.
I
f you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of
p
ressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears or muffled
speech, you should stop listening to the device through your headset
or headphones and have your hearing checked.
For more information about hear ing, s ee our Web site at

Repetitive Motion
When you repetitively perform actions such as pressing keys or
entering finger-written characters, you may experience occasional
discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other parts of your
body. If you continue to have discomfort during or after such use, stop
use and see a doctor.

P
ersons with implantable medical devices should observe the following
p
recautions:
•
ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than 20 centimetres
(
8 inches) from the implantable medical device when the mobile
d
evice is turned ON.
•
DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket.
•

Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS) technology. AGPS
technology can also be used in non-emergency applications to track
and monitor a user's location, for example, to provide driving
directions. Users who prefer not to permit such tracking and
monitoring should avoid using such applications.
If you have further questions regarding how the use of your mobile
device may impact your privacy or data security, please contact
Motorola at
privacy@motorol a.com
, or contact your service
provider.
• Smart Practices While Driving
Drive Safe, Call Smart
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices
and their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always
obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or
restricted in certain areas -- for example, hands-free use only.
Go to
www.motorola.com/callsmart
(in English only) for more
information.
Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data, almost
anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless service is available and safe
conditions allo w. Wh en d riving a car, driving is your fir st
responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device while driving,
remember the following tips:
• Get to know your Motorola mobile device and its features
such as speed dial and redial. If available, these features help
you to place your call without taking your attention off the road.
• Position your mobile device within easy
reach. Be able to access your mobile device

implantable medical device. If you have any questions about using your
mobile device with your implantable medical device, consult your
health care provider.
D
riving Precautions
T
he use of wireless phones while driving may cause distraction.
D
iscontinue a call if you can't concentrate on driving.
A
dditionally, the use of wireless devices and their accessories may be
p
rohibited or restricted in certain areas. Always obey the laws and
r
egulations on the use of these products.
R
esponsible driving practices can be found in "Smart Practices While

Operational Warnings
O
bey all posted signs when using mobile devices in public areas.
P
otentially Explosive Atmospheres
A
reas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not
a
lways, posted and can include fuelling areas, such as below decks on
b
oats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities or areas where the
a
ir contains chemicals or particles, such as grain dust or metal
p
owders.
W
hen you are in such an area, turn off your mobile device and do not
r
emove, install or charge batteries. In such areas, sparks can occur and
c
ause an explosion or fire.
S
ymbol Key
Your battery, charger or mobile device may contain symbols, defined
as follows:
• Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving;
if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous
weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic
can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving. Jotting down a "to do" list or going through your address
book takes attention away from your primary responsibility-driving safely.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls
when your car is not moving or before pulling into traffic.
If you must make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that
may be distracting. Make people you are talking to aware you
are driving and suspend conversations that can divert your
attention away from the road.
• Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 999 or another
local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or
medical emergencies (wherever wireless phone service is available).
• Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies. If
you see a road accident, crime in progress or other serious
emergency where lives are in danger, call 999 or another local
emergency number (wherever wireless phone service is available),
as you would want others to do for you.
• Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency
wireless assistance number when necessary. If you see a
broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic
signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or another
special non-emergency wireless number (wherever wireless phone
service is available).

Your model wireless phone meets international guidelines
for exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended
by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the
independent scientific organisation ICNIRP and include safety margins
designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and
health, and to account for any variations in measurements.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobile devices used
by the general public is 2 watts per kilogram (W/kg), and the highest
SAR value for this mobile device when tested at the ear is 1.08 W/kg.
As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other
positions, such as on the body as described in this guide. In this case,
the highest tested SAR value is 0.58 W/kg. The tests are carried out
in accordance with international guidelines for testing. The SAR
information includes the Motorola testing protocol, assessment
procedure and measurement uncertainty range for this product.
As SAR is measured utilising the mobile device's highest transmitting
power, the actual SAR of this mobile device while operating is typically
below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the
power level of the mobile device to ensure it only uses the minimum
level required to reach the network.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
mobile devices and at various positions, they meet the governmental
requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements to
this product model could cause differences in the SAR value for later
products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the
guidelines.
The World Health Organisation has stated that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for
the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your
exposure, then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a
hands-free device to keep the mobile device away from the head and
body.
