Safety and General Information

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 880 MHz to 915 MHz, 1710 MHz to 1785 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 1.70 w atts in digital
mode for the 900MHz band, 0.0 watts to 0.84 w atts in digital mode for the
1800MHz band, and 0.0 watts to 0.84 watts in digital mode for the
1900MHz band.

Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy

Your Motorola phone is designed to comply with the following national and
international standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human
beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy:

10

•

United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of
Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J

•

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992

•

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999
Edition

•

National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP) of the United States, Report 86, 1986

•

International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1998

•

Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human
Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the
Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999

•

Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications
(Electromagnetic Radiation-Human Exposure) Standard 1999

To assure optimal phone performance and make sure human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth
in the above standards, always adhere to the following procedures:

Portable Phone Operation and EME Exposure

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.

Do NOT hold the antenna when the phone is in use.

antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a
higher power level than needed.

Phone Operation

When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone as you would a
wireline telephone.

Speak directly into the microphone.

Holding the

11

Body-Worn Operation

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.

Approved Accessories

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.

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.

12

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.

13

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.

14

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.

Battery Care

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

objects to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.

20

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.

Getting Started
