Wireless Phone Safety Tips

“Safety is your most important call!”

Your Motorola wireless telephone gives you the powerful ability
to communicate by voice - almost anywhere, anytime, wherever
wireless phone service is available and safe conditions allow. But
an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless
phones, one that every user must uphold.

When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. If you find it
necessary to use your wireless phone while behind the wheel of a
car, practice good common sense and remember the following
tips:

1. Get to know your Motorola wireless phone and its features
such as speed dial and redial. If available, these features help
you to place your call without taking your attention off the
road.

2. When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add an
additional layer of convenience to your wireless phone with
one of the many Motorola Original hands-free accessories
available today.

3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to
access your wireless phone without removing your eyes from
the road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient
time, if possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.

4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous
weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy
traffic can be hazardous.

Safety

5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Jotting down a “to do” list or going through your address
book takes attention away from your primary responsibility­driving safely.

6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls
when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to
plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need to
make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the
road and your mirrors, then continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that
may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware
you are driving and suspend conversations which have the
potential to divert your attention away from the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other
local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or
medical emergencies.

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you
see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious
emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local

emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.

10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless
assistance number when necessary. If you see a broken-down
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a
minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or

other special non-emergency wireless number.

1. Wherever wireless phone service is available.

Safety Information

IMPORTANT

Read this information before using

your wireless handheld phone.

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.

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:

•

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

•

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

•

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

•

Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6

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.

Antenna Care

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

Phone Operation

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, if applicable.

9

Safety

English

•

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

Caution:

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

Driving

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 phone 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 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.

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.

English

10

Safety

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

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.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone
OFF when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off two­way radio." Obey all signs and instructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

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.

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 in­vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, serious injury could result.

Using Phone Memory

Use your phone’s internal Phone Book to store up to 99 names
and numbers for easy access.

In this section you will learn how to:

•

store names and numbers into the Phone Book

•

recall phone numbers from memory

•

clear names and numbers

•

dial a number with Speed Dial and Turbo Dial™

•

make notes on the scratchpad

•

store numbers with pause dialing

•

store calling card sequences for easy access

Using Your Phone’s Built-in Phone Book

Each phone number in your phone book is stored in a memory
location numbered 01-99.

Arrange numbers for easy recall by storing related numbers in
groups. If you store the numbers you call most in locations 01­09, then you can use Turbo Dial™ to call those numbers with a
single key. (See “Using the Turbo Dial™ Function” on page 27
for details.) You could store business contacts in locations 10-19,
family in 20-29, friends in 30-39, and so on.

You can also store names to identify phone numbers. Later, you
can recall a number by the name that corresponds to it.

Storing Names and Numbers

Each memory location can store up to four numbers. For a single
contact, you can store every number you need, such as home,
mobile, office, and more.

AThe option for fax capability is not available on this phone.

Pause Dialing

When you call automated systems like Voice Mail or bank by
phone, a recorded message prompts you for PIN numbers,
account numbers, etc. Pause Dialing can make using automated
systems easy by allowing you to store these numbers in the same
memory location as the automated system’s access number.
Separate each set of numbers with a “pause”– a special
character that tells your phone to wait before sending additional
numbers.

Storing a Number with Pause Dialing

The pause occupies a one-digit space in your phone’s memory.

.

Once you have entered a string of numbers and pauses, store the
string in the same way you store other entries.

You can store up to 32 digits, including pauses.

What to do if...

wrong with my phone?

The battery won’t charge

The battery drains faster than
normal

The display says, “Locked.” How
do I unlock my phone?

I tried to place a call and
received a fast busy signal.

Make sure that you press and hold the power button until the display appears and you hear an audible
alert. If nothing still happens, then check that you have installed the batteries and that the batteries are
charged. For more information about batteries and charging see “Your Battery” on page 16.

Check the alignment of the batteries to ensure that they are installed properly. Make sure that the positive
(+) and negative (-) marks on the batteries match the markings on the phone.

Check the charger. Is it properly connected? Is it fully inserted? Are its contacts clean and dry? The phone
should provide a beep-tone and the display should read “Charging Battery” within two minutes from the
transformer being installed. See ‘Your Battery’.

Check the battery contacts. Are they clean and dry?

Check the battery temperature. If it is warm, let it cool before recharging.

Is it an old battery? Battery performance will decline after several years use. Replace the battery.

Are you using a Motorola original battery? See

Are you in an area of variable coverage? This uses extra battery power.

Is it a new battery? A new battery will need two to three charge/discharge cycles to attain normal
performance. See ‘Charging a New Battery’.

Is it an old battery? Battery performance will decline after several years use. Replace the battery.

Is it a battery that hasn’t been completely discharged? Allow the battery to fully discharge (until the phone
turns itself off) and then charge the battery overnight.

Are you using your phone in extreme temperatures? At extreme hot or cold temperatures, battery
performance is significantly reduced.

Enter the last three digits of your cellular number. If that doesn’t work, use the factory preset lock code:

123. If all else fails, call your service provider (the company that sends you your monthly cellular bill) for
assistance. (See “Using Lock/Security Features” on page 46 for more information on Security Features.)

This sound means that the cellular system did not process your call. For example, the cellular system may be
overloaded with call attempts. To redial the number, press

¼

I tried to place a call and
received an alternating high/
low tone.

My phone was stolen. What
should I report and to whom?

I tried to listen to my Voice Mail
(or use a paging service, a
calling card, etc.) but nothing
happened.

I tried to place a calling card call
using the internal Phone Book,
but it didn’t work.

My phone started beeping, and
the display says: 1 Call
Unanswered. What happened?

I launched the MiniBrowser but
the display says: Service Not
Available. What is wrong?

I launched the MiniBrowser but
the display says: Data Server
Unavailable. What is wrong?

This sound means your call did not reach the cellular system. You may have dialed the number too soon
after turning the phone on. Wait until the “NS” light stops blinking before placing a call.

An alternating tone may also indicate that your phone’s signal is blocked. Make sure you are clear of any
obstructions such as bridges, parking garages, or tall buildings.

Report a stolen phone to the police and to your service provider (the company that sends you your monthly
cellular service bills).

You have probably turned off the transmit tones. Place your call, enter the access numbers when prompted
by the recording, then press
“Transmit Tones” on page 44 to turn the transmit tones on.

You may have turned off your transmit tones. Follow the directions in “Transmit Tones” on page 44 to turn
the transmit tones on.

Check that you stored your calling card information in the correct order, and make sure the groups of
numbers are separated by pauses. The easiest way to correct the sequence may be to start from scratch.
Follow the instructions on “Storing Calling Card Numbers” on page 29, enter your calling card information

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Devices and
Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones

FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile
phones, including cellular phones and PCS phones. The following
summarizes what is known--and what remains unknown--about
whether these products can pose a hazard to health, and what
can be done to minimize any potential risk. This information may
be used to respond to questions.

Why the concern?

Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (i.e.,
radiofrequency radiation) in the microwave range while being
used. They also emit very low levels of radiofrequency energy
(RF), considered non-significant, when in the stand-by mode. It is
well known that high levels of RF can produce biological damage
through heating effects (this is how your microwave oven is able
to cook food). However, it is not known whether, to what extent,
or through what mechanism, lower levels of RF might cause
adverse health effects as well. Although some research has been
done to address these questions, no clear picture of the
biological effects of this type of radiation has emerged to date.
Thus, the available science does not
mobile phones are absolutely safe, or that they are unsafe.
However, the available scientific evidence does not demonstrate

allow us to conclude that

any adverse health effects associated with the use of mobile
phones.

What kinds of phones are in question?

Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the
kind that have a built-in antenna that is positioned close to the
user's head during normal telephone conversation. These types
of mobile phones are of concern because of the short distance
between the phone's antenna--the primary source of the RF--and
the person's head. The exposure to RF from mobile phones in
which the antenna is located at greater distances from the user
(on the outside of a car, for example) is drastically lower than that
from hand-held phones, because a person's RF exposure
decreases rapidly with distance from the source. The safety of so­called "cordless phones," which have a base unit connected to
the telephone wiring in a house and which operate at far lower
power levels and frequencies, has not been questioned.

How much evidence is there that hand-held mobile
phones might be harmful?

Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either
way; however, research efforts are on-going. The existing
scientific evidence is conflicting and many of the studies that
have been done to date have suffered from flaws in their
research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects
of RF exposures characteristic of mobile phones have yielded
conflicting results. A few animal studies, however, have
suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development
of cancer in laboratory animals. In one study, mice genetically
altered to be predisposed to developing one type of cancer
developed more than twice as many such cancers when they
were exposed to RF energy compared to controls. There is much
uncertainty among scientists about whether results obtained
from animal studies apply to the use of mobile phones. First, it is
uncertain how to apply the results obtained in rats and mice to
humans. Second, many of the studies that showed increased
tumor development used animals that had already been treated
with cancer-causing chemicals, and other studies exposed the
animals to the RF virtually continuously--up to 22 hours per day.

For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone
industry has supported research into the safety of mobile phones.
This research has resulted in two findings in particular that merit
additional study:

1

In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers looked for
an association between mobile phone use and either glioma (a
type of brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of
the nerve sheath). No statistically significant association was
found between mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma.
There was also no association between mobile phone use and
gliomas when all types of types of gliomas were considered

together. It should be noted that the average length of mobile
phone exposure in this study was less than three years.

When 20 types of glioma were considered separately,
however, an association was found between mobile phone
use and one rare type of glioma, neuroepithelliomatous
tumors. It is possible with multiple comparisons of the same
sample that this association occurred by chance. Moreover,
the risk did not increase with how often the mobile phone
was used, or the length of the calls. In fact, the risk actually
decreased with cumulative hours of mobile phone use. Most
cancer causing agents increase risk with increased exposure.
An ongoing study of brain cancers by the National Cancer
Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and repeatability

of these results.

2

Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to
assess the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on genetic
material. These included tests for several kinds of
abnormalities, including mutations, chromosomal aberrations,
DNA strand breaks, and structural changes in the genetic
material of blood cells called lymphocytes. None of the tests
showed any effect of the RF except for the micronucleus
assay, which detects structural effects on the genetic material.
The cells in this assay showed changes after exposure to
simulated cell phone radiation, but only after 24 hours of
exposure. It is possible that exposing the test cells to radiation
for this long resulted in heating. Since this assay is known to
be sensitive to heating, heat alone could have caused the
abnormalities to occur. The data already in the literature on
the response of the micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting.
Thus, follow-up research is necessary.

FDA is currently working with government, industry, and
academic groups to ensure the proper follow-up to these
industry-funded research findings. Collaboration with the
Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) in
particular is expected to lead to FDA providing research
recommendations and scientific oversight of new CTIA-funded
research based on such recommendations.

Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the
literature:

1

Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile
phone signals under laboratory conditions while they
performed cognitive function tests. There were no changes in
the subjects' ability to recall words, numbers, or pictures, or in
their spatial memory, but they were able to make choices
more quickly in one visual test when they were exposed to
simulated mobile phone signals. This was the only change
noted among more than 20 variables compared.

2

In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matched
controls, there was no increased risk of brain tumors
associated with mobile phone use. When tumors did exist in
certain locations, however, they were more likely to be on the
side of the head where the mobile phone was used. Because
this occurred in only a small number of cases, the increased
likelihood was too small to be statistically significant.

In summary, we do not have enough information at this point to
assure the public that there are, or are not, any low incident
health problems associated with use of mobile phones. FDA
continues to work with all parties, including other federal
agencies and industry, to assure that research is undertaken to
provide the necessary answers to the outstanding questions
about the safety of mobile phones.

What is known about cases of human cancer that have
been reported in users of hand-held mobile phones?

Some people who have used mobile phones have been
diagnosed with brain cancer. But it is important to understand
that this type of cancer also occurs among people who have not
used mobile phones. In fact, brain cancer occurs in the U.S.
population at a rate of about 6 new cases per 100,000 people
each year. At that rate, assuming 80 million users of mobile
phones (a number increasing at a rate of about 1 million per
month), about 4800 cases of brain cancer would be expected
each year among those 80 million people, whether or not they
used their phones. Thus it is not possible to tell whether any
individual's cancer arose because of the phone, or whether it
would have happened anyway. A key question is whether the risk
of getting a particular form of cancer is greater among people
who use mobile phones than among the rest of the population.
One way to answer that question is to compare the usage of
mobile phones among people with brain cancer with the use of
mobile phones among appropriately matched people without
brain cancer. This is called a case-control study. The current case­control study of brain cancers by the National Cancer Institute, as
well as the follow-up research to be sponsored by industry, will
begin to generate this type of information.

What is FDA's role concerning the safety of mobile
phones?

Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation­emitting consumer products such as mobile phones before
marketing, as it does with new drugs or medical devices.
However, the agency has authority to take action if mobile
phones are shown to emit radiation at a level that is hazardous to
the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of
mobile phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair,
replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory
actions at this time, FDA has urged the mobile phone industry to
take a number of steps to assure public safety. The agency has
recommended that the industry:

• support needed research into possible biological effects of RF
of the type emitted by mobile phones;

• design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF
exposure to the user that is not necessary for device function;
and

• cooperate in providing mobile phone users with the best
possible information on what is known about possible effects
of mobile phone use on human health.

At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working group
of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different
aspects of mobile phone safety to ensure a coordinated effort at
the federal level. These agencies are:

• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

• Environmental Protection Agency

• Federal Communications Commission

• Occupational Health and Safety Administration

English

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

• National Telecommunications and Information Administration

The National Institutes of Health also participates in this group.

In the absence of conclusive information about any
possible risk, what can concerned individuals do?

If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not
know that there is--it is probably very small. But if people are
concerned about avoiding even potential risks, there are simple
steps they can take to do so. For example, time is a key factor in
how much exposure a person receives. Those persons who spend
long periods of time on their hand-held mobile phones could
consider holding lengthy conversations on conventional phones
and reserving the hand-held models for shorter conversations or
for situations when other types of phones are not available.

People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars
every day could switch to a type of mobile phone that places
more distance between their bodies and the source of the RF,
since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For
example, they could switch to:

• a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside the
vehicle,

• a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to a
different antenna mounted on the outside of the car or built
into a separate package, or

• a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone carried at
the waist.

Again, the scientific data do not
are harmful. But if people are concerned about the
radiofrequency energy from these products, taking the simple
precautions outlined above can reduce any possible risk.
