Care

Phone

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

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.

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 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.

Introduction to Batteries

Battery Covers

Your phone’s batteries are shipped in an uncharged state with protective covers on them. You should save these covers to store and carry batteries when they are not in use. The cover prevents objects from touching the battery terminals, thereby reducing the risk of injury or damage from a short circuit.

To begin using your phone, just slip a battery out of its protective cover, install and charge the battery.

Charging the Battery

Using the Internal Rapid Charger

Believe it or not, there’s a battery charger built right into your phone! It’s called the internal charger and it’s a quick and easy way to charge your phone’s battery. To make use of the internal charger, all you need is 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. Just remember, talking on the phone requires energy, so your phone may not charge while the call is in progress.

1.Attach Plug the AC or cigarette lighter adapter into the Adapter accessory connector on the bottom of your

to Phone phone as shown, with the release tab facing up.

2.Plug In Plug the adapter into the appropriate power

Adapter source.

Charging the Battery

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.

Expert Performance ( E•P) Charging System

Your phone uses the Motorola E•P Charging System. This innovative technology allows your phone to communicate with the battery and tailor the charging cycle to get the best performance possible.

When you power up the phone or install a new battery, you may see: Invalid Battery. This means your phone can’t communicate with the attached battery. Check the label on the bat- tery–if it isn’t a Motorola original, the battery may not have the appropriate circuitry to communicate with the phone. Otherwise, try removing and attaching the battery again.

We recommend that you use Motorola original batteries and accessories and that you store your batteries in the protective cover when not in use.

Battery Storage and Disposal

To prolong the life of your batteries, avoid exposing them 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.

To dispose of batteries, check with your local recycling center for a battery recycler near you. 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.

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 provides information 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 can’t 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 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.

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’ve been charging your battery regularly and notice a decrease in talk-time or an increase in charging time, then it’s probably time to purchase a new battery.
