Operation
Safety Information
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.
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.

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. When the battery is detached from the
phone: 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.
Persons with pacemakers:
•
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker 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.
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.
8
Safety Information
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.
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; areas where fuel odors are present, i.e. if a gas/propane
leak occurs in a car or home; 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.
Blasting
Areas
Potentially
Explosive
Atmospheres
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 wireless radiotelephone is designed for excellent durability
under normal use conditions. Protect your wireless telephone from
water damage that could result from spills or excessive exposure to
rain. Never submerge your wireless phone.
Cleaning of this product should only be done with a damp cloth.
The use of chemical cleaners may harm the finish and integrity of
the radio housing and is not recommended.

Introduction to Batteries
Each battery is shipped in an uncharged state with a protective
cover on it. Before you can use your phone, you will need to
remove the cover from the battery and charge it.
Battery Covers
It is a good idea to save the protective cover to store and carry the
battery when not in use. The cover prevents objects from
touching the battery terminals, thereby reducing the risk of
injury or damage from a short circuit.

Using the Internal Rapid Charger
Believe it or not, there is a battery charger built right into your
phone! To make use of the internal charger, you will need one of
the three available adapters, either a standard AC Adapter, a
rapid rate AC Adapter, or a cigarette lighter adapter.
Keep in mind:
When the internal charger is in use and the
phone is ON, you can still place and receive calls. However,
talking on the phone requires energy, so your phone may not
charge while the call is in progress.

The Battery Indicator
In the upper right corner of your phone’s display, there is a
battery indicator filled with three segments. The more segments
you see, the greater the charge.
• The border of the battery icon will flash during charging.
• When both batteries are fully charged, the battery icon will
stop flashing and become solid.

To prolong the life of batteries, avoid exposing them to
temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). It is a
good idea to take your phone with you when you leave your car.
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.
Expert Performance (E•P®)Charging System
The E•P system enables your phone’s built-in charger to
communicate with installed batteries and tailor its charging
cycle to optimize performance. If you see
Invalid Battery
when you power up the phone, the built-in charger is not able to
communicate with the battery and cannot charge it. There are
several possible reasons for this message. The most likely one is
that the battery is not a Motorola original and it does not have
the appropriate E•P technology. We recommend that you use
only Motorola original batteries and accessories and that you
store your batteries in their protective covers when not in use.

Charging Batteries
Desktop Charger Indicators
The three LED indicators on the left front of the Desktop Charger
let you know the current state of any charging batteries. The first
light provides information on the main battery attached to the
phone, the second on the attached auxiliary battery, and the
third on any battery loaded in the rear pocket.
• Red means the battery is charging.
• Flashing yellow means the battery is waiting to be charged.
• Green means the battery is charged within 90% of its capacity
and can be used. An additional hour of charging will bring
your battery up to 100% capacity.
• Flashing red means the battery is damaged and cannot be
charged.
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 tempera-
ture 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). It is a good idea to 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 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.
