Menu Navigation

A large number of your phone’s options are accessed by using menus which use a common
approach for selection, change and cancellation.

Please read this section carefully before attempting to access a menu option. When you
understand the common approach to menu navigation and how the menus are shown on the
page, you will be able to access and change options with ease.

Entering the Menus

Two different keys are used to access the menus:

$ enters the Options menu whilst in standby mode; enters the In-call menu

during a call.

E enters the Quick Access menu.

Once entered, the menus use the $, ª, <, >, O and C keys in a common
manner to access, select and change individual options.

Leaving the Menus

To leave any of the menus, you can either press and hold the C key or repeatedly press the

C key. Both of these actions will return your phone to the standby mode.

i Alternatively, a quicker way to leave the menus is to press EC.

Menus and Sub-menus

A menu is a simple list of options. Some of these options provide access to a further list of
options called a sub-menu. When navigating through the menus you may find it is helpful to

think in terms of menu levels - the ‘parent’ menu being on one level and its sub-menus being on
a lower level.

Moving To and Selecting a Menu Option

To move from one option to another on the same level, use the scroll keys ª; press the bottom

half to scroll forwards and press the top half to scroll backwards. When you find the option you
want, press the

Depending on the option you select, one of three things will happen:

• either a brief message will be displayed confirming an action, for example Completed.

• or a prompt will be displayed requesting you to enter information, for example Enter
PIN or Enter Name.

• or the first option of a sub-menu will be displayed. You can select this option using the

O key or browse through the other options using the scroll keys.

To leave an option or sub-menu, press the C key. This will take you back to the parent menu
item.

Menu Options with Security Codes

Some options are protected from misuse by requiring you to entry one of the security codes. To
use these options, you must enter the requested code before proceeding.

Personalised Menus

With Personality™ you can
personalise the menus by choosing
which features you want readily available. The features that are less frequently used can be
stored out of sight.

The menu diagrams in this manual show the condition of the menu settings when you first
receive your phone. Some features are in the Short Menu and are shown in bold type. Other
features are in the Extended Menu and appear in italics.

You can change which features appear in the Short and Extended Menus, and therefore
personalise the menus, to suit your requirements.

If you want to move a feature from the Short Menu to the Extended Menu (or from the Extended
Menu to the Short Menu), go to the feature and then hold down the

Safety

IMPORTANT

For the efficient and safe operation of your wireless

handheld portable telephone, observe these guidelines.

Exposure To Radio Frequency Signals

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.

European and International agencies have set standards and recommendations for the protection
of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996

• Verband Deutscher Elektringenieure (VDE) DIN-0848

• Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in Matters of Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Energy

• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11, 1988

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE.C95.1-1992

• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). Report 86

• Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6

These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example, over 120 scientists,
engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industry reviewed
the available body of research to develop the updated ANSI Standard.

The design of your phone complies with these standards when used normally.

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or approved replacement antenna. Unauthorised antennas, modifications
or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

Phone Operation

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 (if applicable).

• 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.

Batteries

! All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive

material such as jewellery, 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.

Safety

9

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:

• 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.

Electronic Devices

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

(6”) inches 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.

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 minimise the potential for interference.

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF
immediately.

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 they are 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.

Vehicles

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.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone before
boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

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.

10

Safety

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF and do not remove the battery when 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, 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.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

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 Battery

Charging a New Battery

New batteries are supplied in a totally uncharged state.
To ensure maximum battery performance, a new battery (or battery that has not been used for

several months) should be charged for at least 14 hours before use.

AA new battery will require several full charge/discharge cycles in order to achieve its

optimum performance.

AA new battery, or a battery that has not been used for several months, may cause a

premature fully charged indication. Ignore this indication and let the battery charge
for several more hours, remove and re-insert the battery into the charger, and charge
for an additional 14 hours.

Important Battery Information

! Always treat your batteries with care. See ‘Batteries’, at the beginning of this

manual.

! Never leave your battery in extremely high temperatures (over 60°C), for

example behind glass in very hot, direct sunlight.

! Only Motorola Original Accessory batteries can be charged in the phone or the

optional desktop charger. This is to protect you and your phone from the risks
of incorrect charging.

ADo not use lithium ion batteries at extremely low temperatures as the maximum

standby/talk time will not be available when cold.

To ensure that you enjoy maximum battery life and use your battery to its fullest capacity:

• The battery should be at or near room temperature when charging.

Battery Performance and Maintenance

• Best battery performance will be achieved when you regularly charge and discharge
batteries as instructed in this manual.

• Battery performance is greatly affected by network coverage.

•Set Battery Saving Mode to On (see ‘Phone Setup Menu’) and/or Frequency
of Search to Slow or Medium (see ‘Network Selection Menu’).

• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself in approximately one month.

• When not in use, store your battery uncharged in a cool, dark and dry place.

Low Battery Warning

When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of talk time remain, a warning signal (two
double beeps) will sound, the border of the battery symbol will begin to flash, and

battery even though the battery may be able to power the phone.

The most likely reason why your charging system does not
recognise the battery is that the battery you have purchased is not
a Motorola original battery and therefore does not have the
communications technology built into it. All Motorola original
batteries include this communications technology.

It is recommended that you use only Motorola original batteries,
chargers and other accessories.
