Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals

Antenna Care

Phone Operation

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 Commissions (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).

Important:

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.

Normal Operation:

Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

Read this information before using your wireless handheld

Safety Information

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 battery is packed with a protective cover; please use this cover for storing your battery 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 (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.

Blasting Areas

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 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.

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.

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

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.

Safety Information

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 (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 would normally 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.

Your wireless radiotelephone is designed for excellent durability under normal use conditions. Protect your wireless telephone from water damage that could result from spills or excessive exposure to rain. Never submerge your wireless phone.

Cleaning of this product should only be done with a damp cloth. The use of chemical cleaners may harm the ﬁnish and integrity of the radio housing and is not recommended.

Charging Batteries

Using the Internal Rapid Charger

Believe it or not, there is a battery charger built right into your phone! To make use of the internal charger, you will need either an AC adapter

Keep in mind:

or a vehicle power adapter.

When the internal charger is in use and the phone is ON, you can still place and receive calls. However, talking on the phone requires energy, so your phone may not charge while the call is in progress.

Getting Started

Attach Adapter to Phone

Plug the AC or vehicle power adapter into the accessory connector on the bottom of your phone as shown, with the release tab facing up.

Plug In Adapter

Plug the adapter into the appropriate power source. Your phone will beep to let you know the AC adapter is connected on both ends.

PUSH

Keep in mind:

In some cars, the ignition must be ON to use the vehicle’s accessory power.

Check with your retailer for availability of the adapters.

Charging Batteries

The Battery Indicator

In the upper right corner of your phone’s display, there is a battery indicator ﬁlled with three segments. The more segments you see, the greater the charge.

•

The border of the battery icon will ﬂash during charging.

•

When the battery is fully charged, the battery icon will stop

ﬂashing and become solid.

High

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.

Caution:

To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal

objects to contact or short circuit the battery terminals.

Charging Batteries

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 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.

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.

Using Memory

Do you have places to go and people to see? Too many phone numbers to remember? Let your phone remember them for you.The internal Phone Book has 99 locations and each allows you to store up to four numbers per location. That way you can store hundreds of phone numbers for easy access on the go!

In this chapter we will explain how to:

• store names and numbers into the Phone Book.

• recall phone numbers from memory.

• dial in a ﬂash with the Super Speed Dial and Turbo Dial

functions.

• simplify automated calling systems and credit card calls.

Making the Most of Memory

Numbered 01-99, each memory location allows you to store a name and as many as four phone numbers. In one location, you can store the home, mobile, work and fax numbers of a single contact. To help you ﬁnd the right number, when you store the number you assign it an icon:

555-1212

Home Mobile Pager FaxWork Other

Once stored, when you view memory locations, you will see the name, location and one icon for each number stored.

Icons of numbers stored

To organize your Phone Book for convenient recall, try storing related contacts in groups of ten. For example, store your ten most frequently called numbers in locations 01-09, then you can use the Turbo Dial You could store business contacts in locations 10-19, family in 20-29, friends in 30-39, and so on.

Using Memory

Tip:

You can store up to 32 digits, including pauses.

Pause Dialing

When you call automated systems like Voicemail* 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.
