Important Safety Information

Section 4A: Important Safety Information 145

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
relevant standards, always follow these instructions and precautions.

External Antenna Care

If your mobile device has an external antenna, use only a Motorola­supplied 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 exte rnal antenna affects call quali ty 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

break every hour, and stop use if you are very tired.

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.

150 Section 4A: Important Safety Information

Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile
Phones

Some Motorola phones a re measured for compatibility with hearing aids . If
the box for your particular model has “Rated for Hearing Aids” printed on
it, the following explanation applies.

When some mobile phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing
aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or
whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference
they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their
mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may
be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.
Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label on the box.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s
hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be
vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone
successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way
to evaluate it for your personal needs.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely

to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not
labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.

T-R ati ng s: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to

be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone
Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
(Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)

Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of
interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health A-18
Hearing Aid Compatibility professional may help you find results for your
hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, t he less likely you are
to experience interference noise from mobile phones.

Important Safety Information

Battery Tips

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

Section 4A: Important Safety Information 151

䢇 Always use Motorola Original batteries and chargers. The

warranty does not cover damage caused by non­Motorola batteries and/or chargers.

䢇 New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may

take more time to charge.

䢇 When charging your battery, keep it near room temperature.
䢇 When storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place.
䢇 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.

䢇 It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and require longer

charging times. If you notice a chan ge in your battery life, it is probably
time to purchase a new battery.

Contact your local recycling center for proper battery disposal.

War nin g: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may

explode.

Before using you r phone, re ad the bat tery safet y informat ion in the “Safety
and General Information” section included in this guide.

Specific Absorption Rate Data

This model wireless phone meets the government’s requirements
for exposure to radio waves.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
Government and by the Canadian regulatory authorities. These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards
that were developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age or health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
set by the FCC and by the Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted
by the FCC and by Industry Canada with the phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level

032375o

152 Section 4A: Important Safety Information

of the phone while operating can be w ell below the maximum val ue. This
is becau se the phone is designed to operate at m ult iple power levels so as
to use only t he power required to reach the network. In general, the closer
you are to a wireless base s tation, the lower t he power output.

Before a phone model is avail able for sale to the publi c in the U.S. and
Canada, it m ust be tes ted and certif ied to the FCC and Indus try Cana da
that it does not exceed the limi t established by each governm ent for sa fe
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the
ear and w orn on th e body) report ed to the FCC and available for review by
Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this model phone when t ested
for use at the ear is
