Mobile Phone User Guide

Translation Kit #6

October 9, 2002

The T720 GSM product includes two user documents:

A user guide (approximately 100 pages for the English version) that will be packaged in the box with the phone. This guide provides basic information for consumers. For now, all legal information is included in this guide. Details are being worked out with corporate legal regarding placement of this legal information.

A reference guide that can be downloaded from a Motorola consumer web site, available on a CD, or available from a Call Center. Deliverable details will be determined for each product and region. This guide provides information on additional features that are not described in the user guide.

Both the user and reference guide hav e gone to print. User documentation for GSM Synergy phones is generated from a single set of common master ﬁles. The T720 GSM user and reference guides are based upon the most current version of GSM R2.0 user documents. The user guide and reference guide chapters are written and designed so that they can be combined into a single comprehensive user guide as necessary. The following summary provides changes that apply to the T720 phone.

To maintain compliance with FCC/Health Canada RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a phone on your body when transmitting, always place the phone in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may exceed FCC/Health Canada RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use one of the Motorola-supplied or approved body-worn accessories, and are not using the phone held in the normal use position,

ensure the phone and its antenna are at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting.

Data Operation

When using any data feature of the phone, with or without an accessory cable, position the phone and its antenna at least one inch

(2.5 centimeters) from your body.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic

interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise conﬁgured for electromagnetic compatibility.

Facilities

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conﬂicts, turn off your phone in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities ma y be using equipment that is sensitiv e to external RF energy.

PRELIMINARY

Aircraft

When instructed to do so, turn off your phone when on board an aircraft. Any use of a phone must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.

Medical Devices

Pacemakers

The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by, and recommendations of, the United States Food and Drug Administration.

Persons with pacemakers should:

• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches (15 centimeters) from your pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.

• NOT carry the phone in the breast pocket.

• use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for

interference.

• turn OFF the phone immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interf ere 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 de vice , consult the man ufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

PRELIMINARY

Safety and General Use While Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the area where you drive. Always obey them.

When using your phone while driving, please:

• give full attention to driving and to the road.

• use hands-free operation, if available.

• pull off the road and park bef ore making or ans wering a call if driving

conditions so require.

Operational Warnings

For Vehicles With an Air Bag

Do not place a portable phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inﬂate with great force. If a portable phone is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inﬂates, the phone may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless the phone is a model speciﬁcally identiﬁed as being “Intrinsically Safe.” Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or ﬁre resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to abov e include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, 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. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.

PRELIMINARY

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn OFF your phone when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a b lasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Operational Cautions

Antennas

Do not use any portable phone that has a damaged antenna. If a

damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.

Battery Use

Battery performance depends on many factors, including your wireless carrier’s network conﬁguration; signal strength; the temperature at which you operate your phone; the features and/or settings you select and use; and your voice, data, and other application usage patterns.

PRELIMINARY

Battery Care

Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal

objects to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals. To maximize your battery’s performance:

• Always use Motorola Original™ batteries and battery chargers. The phone warranty does not cover damage caused from using non-Motorola batteries and/or battery chargers.

• New batteries or batteries that have been stored for long periods of time may require a longer charge time.

• Maintain the battery at or near room temperature when charging.

• Do not 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.

• When you do not intend to use a battery for a while, store it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place, such as a refrigerator.

• Over extended periods of time, batteries gradually wear down and require longer charging times. This is normal. If you charge y our battery regularly and notice a decrease in talk time or an increase in charging time, then it is probably time to purchase a new battery.
