IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION.
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR PHONE.
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety
information contained in user guides published prior to July 2000. For
information regarding radio use in a hazardous atmosphere please refer
to the Factory Mutual (FM) Approval Manual Supplement or Instruction
Card, which is included with radio models that offer this capability.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The phone operates
in the frequency ranges of 824 MHz to 849 MHz and 1850 MHz to 1910
MHz in digital mode.
When you communicate with your phone, the system handling your call
controls the power lev els at which y our phone transmits. The output power
level typically may vary over a range from 0.0 watts to 0.87 w atts in digital
mode for the 850 MHz band, and 0.00 watts to 0.87 watts in digital mode
for the 1900 MHz band.

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.
9
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 before making or answ ering 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 above
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.
10
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.
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
16
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.
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 co ver 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.
Getting Started
• 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.
17
