Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Antenna Care
Safety Information
Important:
phone.
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 Commission
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld
wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
•
•
•
•
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). For additional information concerning exposure to radio
frequency signals, see the statement by the FDA at the end of this user
guide. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you
wear a handset on your body, use the Motorola-supplied or approved
carrying case, holster, or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a
body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least one inch (2.5
centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Motorola
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and
may violate FCC regulations.

Safety Information
Normal Operation:
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation:
Observe the following guidelines to operate your phone 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.
All batteries can cause property damage, injury, or burns if a
Caution:
conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches
exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and
become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain,
exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it
inside your pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. When the
battery is detached from the phone, your batteries are packed with a
protective battery cover; please use this cover for storing your batteries
when not in use.
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them. Observe the following guidelines
when using your phone while driving.
•
Give full attention to driving–driving safely is your first responsibility;
•
Use hands-free operation, if available;
•
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six inches (6") be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.

Safety Information
Persons with pacemakers:
•
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;
•
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
•
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
•
Should turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere 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 device, consult the manufacturer of
your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted
in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may
be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so
require.
Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft. Airline regulations
prohibit using your phone while in the air. Check and comply with the
policy of your airline regarding the use of your phone while the aircraft is
on the ground.
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.
8
Safety Information
Turn your phone OFF, do not remove your battery when you are in any
area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks from your battery 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 (for example, 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 normally
would 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.

Introduction to Batteries
Each battery is shipped in an uncharged state with a protective
clip on it. Before you can use your phone, you will need to
remove the clip from the battery and charge it.
Battery Clips
It is a good idea to save the protective clip to store and carry the
battery when not in use. The clip prevents objects from touching
the battery terminals, thereby reducing the risk of injury or
damage from a short circuit.

Battery Storage and Disposal
Low
To prolong the life of batteries, avoid exposing them to
temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). It is a
good idea to take your phone with you when you leave your car.
Never dispose of batteries in fire. To dispose of batteries, contact
your local recycling center.
Caution:
To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal
objects to contact or short circuit the battery terminals.
Expert Performance (E•P®)Charging System
The E•P system enables your phone’s built-in charger to
communicate with installed batteries and tailor its charging
cycle to optimize performance. If you see
Invalid Battery
when you power up the phone, the built-in charger is not able to
communicate with the battery and cannot charge it. There are
several possible reasons for this message. The most likely one is
that the battery is not a Motorola original and it does not have
the appropriate E•P technology. We recommend that you use
only Motorola original batteries and accessories and that you
store your batteries in their protective clips when not in use.

Charging Batteries
Desktop Charger Indicators
The LED indicators on the left front of the Desktop Charger let
you know the current state of any charging batteries.
The Front Pocket LED Indicator:
• Yellow means the phone with a battery is securely installed.
• Open the phone to see the charge status for the front pocket.
The Rear Pocket LED Indicator:
• Red means the battery is charging.
• Flashing yellow means the battery is waiting to be charged.
• Green means the battery is charged to 90% of its capacity.
Another hour of charging will bring it up to 100% capacity.
• Flashing red means the battery is damaged and cannot 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 tempera-
ture 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). It is a good idea to
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 charge your 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.
