Safety and General Information

This section contains important information on the safe and efficient operation of your mobile device. Read this information before using your mobile device.*

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

Your mobile device contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your mobile device, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your mobile device transmits.

Your Motorola mobile device is designed to comply with local regulatory requirements in your country concerning exposure of human beings to RF energy.

Operational Precautions

For optimal mobile device performance and to be sure that human exposure to RF energy does not exceed the guidelines set forth in

*The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information in user’s guides published prior to May 1, 2006.

the relevant standards, always follow these instructions and precautions.

External Antenna Care

If your mobile device has an external antenna, use only a Motorola-supplied or approved replacement antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the mobile device and/or may result in your device not complying with local regulatory requirements in your country.

DO NOT hold the external antenna when the mobile device is IN USE. Holding the external antenna affects call quality and may cause the mobile device to operate at a higher power level than needed.

Product Operation

When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your mobile device just like you would a landline phone.

If you wear the mobile device on your body, always place the mobile device in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness. If you do not use a body-worn accessory supplied or approved by Motorola, keep the mobile device and its antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body when transmitting.

Safety Information

9

When using any data feature of the mobile device, with or without an accessory cable, position the mobile device and its antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body.

Using accessories not supplied or approved by Motorola may cause your mobile device to exceed RF energy exposure guidelines. For a list of Motorola-supplied or approved accessories, visit our web site at: www.motorola.com.

RF Energy Interference/Compatibility

Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy interference from external sources if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for RF energy compatibility. In some circumstances your mobile device may cause interference with other devices.

Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems

Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so. These locations include hospitals or health care facilities that may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult airline staff about using it in flight.

Pacemakers

If you have a pacemaker, consult your physician before using this device.

Persons with pacemakers should observe the following precautions:

•ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than

20 centimeters (8 inches) from your pacemaker when the mobile device is turned ON.

•DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket.

•Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.

•Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some mobile devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer or physician to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult your physician or the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy.

10 Safety Information

Driving Precautions

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices in the area where you drive. Always obey them.

When using your mobile device while driving, please:

•Give full attention to driving and to the road. Using a mobile device may be distracting. Discontinue a call if you can’t concentrate on driving.

•Use handsfree operation, if available.

•Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

Responsible driving practices can be found in the “Smart Practices While Driving” section at the end of this guide and/or at the Motorola web site: www.motorola.com/callsmart.

Operational Warnings

Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in public areas, such as health care facilities or blasting areas.

Automobile Air Bags

Do not place a mobile device in the air bag deployment area.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted, and can include fueling areas such as below decks

on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, or areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile device, and do not remove, install, or charge batteries. In such areas, sparks can occur and cause an explosion or fire.

Damaged Products

If your mobile device or battery has been submerged in water, punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you take it to a Motorola Authorized Service Center. Do not attempt to dry it with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven.

Batteries and Chargers

If jewelry, keys, beaded chains, or other conductive materials touch exposed battery terminals, this could complete an electrical circuit (short circuit), become very hot, and could cause damage or injury. Be careful when handling a charged battery,

particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. Use only Motorola Original batteries and chargers.

Caution: To avoid risk of personal injury, do not dispose of your battery in a fire.

Safety Information

Choking Hazards

Your mobile device or its accessories may include detachable parts, which may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep your mobile device and its accessories away from small children.

Glass Parts

Some parts of your mobile device may be made of glass. This glass could break if the product is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove. Stop using your mobile device until the glass is replaced by a qualified service center.

Seizures/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 with your physician before playing video games or enabling a flashing-lights feature (if available) on your mobile device.

Discontinue use and consult a physician 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

12 Safety Information

lights on in the room, take a 15-minute break every hour, and stop use if you are very tired.

Caution About High Volume Usage

Listening at full volume to music or voice through a headset may damage your hearing.

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 physician.

battery tips

Battery life depends on the network, signal strength, temperature, features, and accessories you use.

• Always use Motorola Original batteries and chargers. The warranty does not cover damage caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers.

•New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time

to charge.

•When charging your battery, keep it near room temperature.

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

•Never 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.

•It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and require longer charging times. If you notice a change in your battery life, it is probably time to buy a new battery.
