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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
