Safety Information

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals

Antenna Care

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:

•

ANSI C95.1 (1992)*

•

NCRP Report 86 (1986)*

•

ICNIRP (1996)*

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientiﬁc literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modiﬁcations, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

Phone Operation

Normal Position:

Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

Tips on Efﬁcient Operation:

For your phone to operate most efﬁciently:

•

Extend your antenna fully.

•

Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.

*American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and

Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

Safety Information

Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a

conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects. Your battery is packed with a protective cover. Please use this cover for storing your battery when not in use.

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.

Also, if using your phone while driving, please:

Give full attention to driving–driving safely is your

•

ﬁrst responsibility;

Use hands-free operation, if available;

•

Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving

•

conditions so require.

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Batteries

Driving

Electronic Devices

Persons with pacemakers:

• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pace-

maker when the phone is turned ON;

• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential

for interference.

• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn

your phone OFF immediately.

Safety Information

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.

Electronic Devices

Aircraft

Blasting Areas

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Safety Information

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or ﬁre resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liqueﬁed petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); 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.

An air bag inﬂates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inﬂates, serious injury could result.

Your Motorola cellular radiotelephone is designed for excellent durability under normal use conditions. Protect your cellular telephone from water damage that could result from spills or excessive exposure to rain. Never submerge your cellular phone.

Charging the Battery

Desktop Charger Charging Times

The time it takes for your battery to obtain a full charge is affected by a variety of factors, including:

• Temperature Batteries should be at or near room

temperature when charging. To prolong battery life and charge capacity, avoid exposing your batteries to temperatures below 10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). As a good rule of thumb, always take your phone with you when you leave your car.

• Inactivity New batteries, or batteries that have been stored for

long periods of time, may not rapid charge properly. In these instances, the battery requires an overnight charge.

• Extended Usage Over extended periods of time, batteries

gradually wear down and require longer charging times. This is normal. If you’ve been charging your battery regularly and notice a decrease in talk-time or an increase in charging time, then it’s probably time to purchase a new battery.

Getting Started

Battery Storage and Disposal

To prolong the life of your batteries, avoid exposing them to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F).

As a good rule of thumb, always take your phone with you when you leave your car. To dispose of batteries, check with your local recycling center for a battery recycler near you. Never dispose of batteries in ﬁre.

Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects to contact or short circuit the battery terminals.

Using Memory

Do you have places to go and people to see? Too many phone numbers to remember? Let your phone remember them for you. Your SC-725 phone’s internal Phone Book can store up to 99 names and numbers for easy access on the go.

In this chapter you will learn how to:

• store names and numbers into the Phone Book

• recall phone numbers from memory

• dial a number with the Super Speed Dial and Turbo Dial™

functions

Making the Most of Memory

Each phone number is stored in a “memory location” numbered 01-99. You can arrange your Phone Book for convenient recall by storing related numbers in groups. For example, store your most important numbers in locations 01-09, then you can use the Turbo Dial™ keys to call them with the push of a button. Location 01 should be reserved for your Emergency Call number (see page 79).

You can also store names of up to 24 characters, in 2 lines of 12, to help identify phone numbers. Then you can easily recall numbers by either the name or memory location.

If someone you know has more than one phone number, you can organize the entries to quickly ﬁnd the number you need by using line 1 for the name and line 2 for information unique to that number, as in the example below:

Using Memory

Motorola’s Lithium Ion (LiIon) batteries are high energy-density batteries that offer increased capacity and are lighter in weight than similar sized Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. The LiIon battery is an Expert Performance (E•P) battery. Matching a Motorola E•P battery with an E•P charger helps achieve both optimal charge capacity and extended battery life.

Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries

Nickel Metal Hydride batteries (NiMH) are high-capacity batteries that offer up to 30% more talk-time than comparable Nickel Cadmium batteries. To help achieve maximum life and capacity for your NiMH battery, do not leave the battery in the charger for more than 24 hours, and use only Motorola-approved chargers.

Slim Nickel Metal Hydride Belt Clip Batteries

The Slim Nickel Metal Hydride battery features a built-in battery clip, allowing you to conveniently clip it onto a belt, purse, etc.

Accessory Options

E•P Desktop Charger (AC Adapter required)

This charger has two pockets to charge up to two batteries simultaneously. Each pocket has its own sequential charging status LEDs. The desktop charger’s front pocket can charge batteries while they are attached to your phone, and the rear pocket can charge batteries separately. It’s easy to rotate batteries and always have a charged spare. For use with Lithium Ion, Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries.

Intellicharge Rapid Charger

This charger has two pockets to charge up to two batteries simultaneously. Each pocket of the Intellicharge XT charger has its own multi-colored light to indicate that the battery has been properly placed in the charger pocket. For use with Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries.

Overnight Charger

This charger has two pockets to charge up to two batteries simultaneously. Each pocket of the overnight charger has its own orange-colored light to indicate that the battery is installed and charging properly. For use with Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries.

Overnight Travel Charger

The ultimate in “on-the-road” charging convenience! Simply slide and click on the battery in the same way you would slide the battery on the phone. Then ﬂip out the AC prongs and plug it into a 110V AC electrical outlet. For use with Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries.
