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
•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 |
Normal Position: |
Care |
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.
Batteries |
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, exer- |
|
cise 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.
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.
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.
12
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.
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.

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.
1. Place the battery’s “toe” into the compartment as shown.
2. Press its “heel” down until you hear it snap into place.

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.
on
Release Tab 
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.
18
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.
•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.
