Safety and General Information
MPORTANT 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 externalantenna 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.
Phone Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone as you
would a wireline telephone.
Safety and General Information - 6
Beethoven.book Page 7 Friday, September 26, 2003 10:58 AM
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, if 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 leas t 1inch
(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.
7 - Safety and General Information
Beethoven.book Page 8 Friday, September 26, 2003 10:58 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.
•
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 mayinterfere 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.
When using your phone while driving, please:
•
Givefullattentiontodrivingandtotheroad.
•
Use hands-free operation, if available.
Safety and General Information - 8
Beethoven.book Page 9 Friday, September 26, 2003 10:58 AM
•
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
Responsible driving best practices may be found in the “Wireless
Phone Safety Tips” at the end of this manual and 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 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 com-

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 playing video games on your phone or enabling a blinkinglights 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
Safety and General Information - 10
Beethoven.book Page 11 Friday, September 26, 2003 10:58 AM
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

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.

There are two soft keys on the Phone, located directly below the
display screen. Each soft key performs the command displayed
immediately above it on the screen, making it easy to navigate
around the Phone and to perform common commands.
Using menus
On many screens, the right soft key is labelled Menu. The Menu
soft key displays a list of menu options that are relevant to the
screen you are viewing. Selecting a menu option will either perform
the command or take you to another part of the user interface
where you can perform the command.
