Safety Information

Read this information before using your StarTAC cellular telephone.

First introduced in 1984, the hand-held portable cellular telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with your ofﬁce, your home, emergency services, and others.

For the safe and efﬁcient operation of your phone, please observe these guidelines:

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.

European and International agencies have set standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.

•

International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996

Verband Deutscher Electringenieure (VDE) DIN-0848

•

Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy

™

Important

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

National Radiological Protection Board of the United

•

Kingdom, GS 11, 1988

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.

•

1-1992

•

National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). Report 86

•

Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6

Safety Information

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.

Antenna Care

Batteries

Normal Position:

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

Tips on Efﬁcient Operation:

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.

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 batteries are packed with a protective battery cover; please use this cover for storing your batteries when not in use (see page 16).

Safety Information

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.

Driving

Electronic Devices

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

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

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.

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.

Safety Information

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.

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.

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.

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.

Installing the Battery

To get started, just slip the battery out of its cover, install the battery and charge the battery.

Battery Covers

Your phone’s battery is shipped uncharged and encased in a protective cover. This handy cover keeps conductive material from touching the battery terminals and reduces the risk of injury or damage from a short circuit (see page 9). It’s a good idea to keep your batteries covered when they’re not being used.

Removing the Battery Cover

1. Pull the release latch

back toward the battery.

2. Lift the battery out.

Attaching the Battery Cover

The battery ﬁts into its cover like a ski boot ﬁts into a ski.

Using Your AC Wall Charger

Charging the Battery

Using the AC Wall Charger, you can plug your phone directly into a power supply and charge the attached battery— whether the phone is ON or OFF. When the AC Charger is in use and the phone is ON, you can still place and receive calls as long as the battery is not completely drained. Just remember, talking on the phone requires power, so charging will take more time.

1. Plug the AC Wall Charger into the accessory connector on the bottom of your phone as shown, with the release tab facing up.

2. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet.

Release Tab

PUSH

What you will see when charging:

• The battery icon will ﬂash regardless of whether your

phone is turned ON or OFF.

• The battery icon will cease ﬂashing and become solid

when the battery is fully charged.

Charging the Battery

Your StarTAC™ phone’s Standard Battery charges in three to four hours using the AC Wall Charger. A Lithium Ion battery can be charged with a Rapid Charger in one to two hours.

Charging times are affected by:

• 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.

• Extended Usage Over extended periods of time, batteries

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

Charging

Times

• Nickel Metal Hydride batteries should never be left in the

charger longer than 24 hours.

• Lithium Ion batteries can be left in the charger as long as

you like.

Pause Dialing

Advanced Storing

If you often ﬁnd yourself calling voice mail, bank-by-phone or other automated calling systems, you’ll appreciate the convenience of Pause Dialing. Simply save the numbers as a linked sequence, and you’ll never need to enter them again!

Here’s how it works: when you call automated phone systems, a recorded message prompts you for PIN numbers, account numbers, etc. You can store these numbers in your phone’s memory along with the automated system’s access number. Just separate them with a pause (o) – a special character that tells your phone to wait before sending additional numbers.

Placing a Call with Pause Dialing

To place a call using Pause Dialing, simply recall it as you would any other number in your Phone Book and press

to place the call. When the recording prompts you for information, just press ‰, æ and your phone will send the next set of numbers that you stored. Press ‰, æ as many times as necessary to transmit each set of numbers.

Advanced Storing

To store a Pause Dialing number, perform the following steps.

You will see:

1. Enter Enter the automated number system’s number.

5551212

Storing a Pause Dialing Number

2. Press

3. Enter Enter the next group numbers of numbers.

4. Press

(for example a PIN number) If another group of numbers is necessary, repeat steps 2 and 3.

to store the number.

551212o

551

212o123

Tip: A maximum of 16 digits can be stored in a memory location. A pause (o) counts as one digit. If your Pause Dialing number requires more than 16 digits, you can store the automated system’s phone number in one memory location and the remainder in another memory location.

Accessory Options

An exciting line of StarTAC™ brand phone accessories, now smaller and lighter than ever, can enhance and personalize your cellular experience.

Batteries

Lithium Ion batteries are different from other batteries in that you can leave them in the charger as long as you like. Nickel Metal Hydride batteries should not be left in the charger for more than 24 hours. See page 20 for battery talk-times and standby-times.

Cigarette Lighter Adapter

With the cigarette lighter adapter, you can power your phone and charge its battery directly from your vehicle’s cigarette lighter! In some cars, the engine must be running in order for the cigarette lighter to operate.

Desktop Charger and Rapid AC Adapter

The desktop charger is designed for optimal performance when used with the Rapid AC Adapter shown here. The desktop charger’s front pocket charges the battery while it’s in your phone, and the rear pocket charges a battery by itself.

Headset

The headset provides both an earphone and microphone in one small piece for simple hands-free and private telephone conversations. The convenient headset plugs directly into the jack on the top of your phone, so that you can wear your phone and move freely. Place the foam cover on the earpiece for a more comfortable ﬁt.

PCMCIA Modems

These compact modems are made for mobility and plug directly into the bottom of your StarTAC phone, so you can send and receive faxes, e-mail and data. The PCMCIA modem works with data devices using a standard PCMCIA Type II slot.

Accessory Options

Hands-Free Adapter Kit

The optional Hands-Free Kits give you the convenience of full duplex speaker phone operation while in your car. Full duplex operation lets you simultaneously talk and listen, so both parties can interrupt each other for a normal sounding conversation.

The Hands-Free Kit powers the phone and charges its battery whenever your car’s engine is running. An optional external antenna can improve your signal reception and boost performance.

3-Watt Vehicle System

The 3-Watt Vehicular Kit for the StarTAC™ phone delivers a full 3-watts of power. This booster works behind the scenes to increase performance, especially in fringe areas.

3-Watt Vehicular Kit components:

• Hands-Free phone holder with battery charger

• External microphone

• External speaker

• 3-watt booster

• External antenna (not included)

We recommend genuine Motorola batteries and accessories. Under its cellular telephone warranty, Motorola speciﬁcally disclaims any responsibility for damage caused by the use of portable cellular telephone accessories not manufactured by Motorola.
