Safety and General Information

Safety I nformati on

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.

Product Operation

When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your mobile
device just like you would a landline phone.

If you wear the mobile device on your body, always place
the mobile device in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip,
holder, holster, case, or body harness. If you do not use a
body-worn accessory supplied or approved by
Motorola—or if you hang your mobile device from a

lanyard around your neck—keep the mobile device and its
antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body
when transmitting.

Using accessories not supplied or approved by Motorola
may cause your mobile device to exceed RF energy
exposure guidelines. For a list of Motorola-supplied or
approved accessories, visit our Web site at:

RF Energy Interference/
Compatibility

Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy
interference from external sources if inadequately
shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for RF energy
compatibility. In some circumstances your mobile device
may cause interference with other devices.

Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference
Problems

Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted
notices instruct you to do so.

In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever
instructed to do so by airline staff. If your mobile device
offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult airline
staff about using it in flight.

Implantable Medical Devices

If you have an implantable medical device, such as a
pacemaker or defibrillator, consult your physician before
using this mobile device.

Persons with implantable medical devices should observe

032374o

032376o

032375o

the following precautions:

•

ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than
20 centimeters (8 inches) from the implantable
medical device when the mobile device is turned
ON.

•

DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast
pocket.

•

Use the ear opposite the implantable medical
device to minimize the potential for interference.

•

Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you
have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place.

Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of
your implantable medical device. If you have any questions
about using your mobile device with your implantable
medical device, consult your healthcare provider.

Driving Precautions

The use of wireless phones while driving may cause
distraction. Discontinue a call if you can’t concentrate on
driving.

Additionally, the use of wireless devices and their
accessories may be prohibited or restricted in certain
areas. Always obey the laws and regulations on the use of
these products.

Responsible driving practices can be found in the “Smart
Practices While Driving” section in this guide (or separate
guide).

Operational Warnings

Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in public
areas.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often,
but not always, posted and can include fueling areas, such
as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, or areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain dust, or metal
powders.

When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile device,
and do not remove, install, or charge batteries. In such
areas, sparks can occur and cause an explosion or fire.

Symbol Key

Your battery, charger, or mobile device may contain
symbols, defined as follows:

Symbol Definition

Do not throw your battery or mobile
device in the trash.

Do not let your battery, charger, or mobile
device get wet.

Listening at full volume to music or voice
through a headset may damage your
hearing.

Batteries & Chargers

Caution: Improper treatment or use of batteries may
present a danger of fire, explosion, leakage, or other
hazard. For more information, see the “battery use &
safety” section in the user’s guide.

Keep Your Mobile Device and Its
Accessories Away From Small
Children

These products are not toys and may be hazardous to
children. For example:

•

A choking hazard may exist for small, detachable
parts.

•

Improper use could result in loud sounds,
possibly causing hearing injury.

•

Improperly handled batteries could overheat and
cause a burn.

Glass Parts

Some parts of your mobile device may be made of glass.
This glass could break if the product is dropped on a hard
surface or receives a substantial impact. If glass breaks,
do not touch or attempt to remove. Stop using your mobile
device until the glass is replaced by a qualified service
center.

Seizures/Blackouts

Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or
blackouts when exposed to flashing lights, such as when
playing video games. These may occur even if a person
has never had a previous seizure or blackout.

If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you
have a family history of such occurrences, please consult
with your physician before playing video games or
enabling a flashing-lights feature (if available) on your
mobile device.

Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the
following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle
twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movements, or
disorientation. It is always a good idea to hold the screen
away from your eyes, leave the lights on in the room, take
a 15-minute break every hour, and stop use if you are tired.

Caution About High Volume Usage

Warning:

Exposure to loud noise from any
source for extended periods of time may
affect your hearing. The louder the volume

your hearing could be affected. To protect your hearing:

sound level, the less time is required before
