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 in user guides published prior to
December 1, 2002.
3.1 Exposure To Radio Frequency (RF)
Energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is
ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you
communicate with your phone, the system hand ling your call
controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
Your Motorola phone is designed to comply with local
regulatory requirements in your country concerning
exposure of human beings to RF energy.
3.2 Operational Precautions
To assure optimal phone performance and make sure human
exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines set forth in the
relevant standards, always adhere to the following
procedures.
3.2.1 External Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or Motorola-approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorised antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone.
Do NOT hold the external antenna when the phone is IN USE.
Holding the external antenna affects call quality and may
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than
needed. In addition, use of unaut horised antennas may result
in non-compliance with the local regulatory requirements in
your country.
3.2.2 Phone Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone as
you would a wireline telephone.
Safety and General Information 5
3.2.3Body-Worn Operation
3.2.3 Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with RF energy 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 phone, if
available. Use of accessories not approved by Motorola may
exceed RF energy exposure guidelines. If you do not use one
of the body-worn accessories approved or supplied by
Motorola, and are not using the phone held in the normal use
position, ensure the phone and its antenna are at least 1 inch
(2.5 centimetres) from your body when transmitting.
3.2.4 Data Operation
When using any data feature of the phone, with or without an
accessory cable, position the phone and its antenna at least 1
inch (2.5 centimetres) from your body.
3.2.5 Approved Accessories
Use of accessories not approved by Motorola, including but
not limited to batteries and antenna, may cause your phone
to exceed RF energy exposure guidelines. For a list of
approved Motorola accessories, visit our website at
www.Motorola.com
6 Safety and General Information
.
3.3 RF Energy Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to RF
energy interference from external sources if inadequately
shielded, designed, or other wise configured for RF energy
compatibility. In some circumstances your phone may cause
interference.
3.3.1 Facilities
Turn off your phone in any facility where posted notices
instruct you to do so. These facilities may include hospitals
or health care facilities that may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
3.3.2 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.
Medical Devices3.3.3
3.3.3 Medical Devices
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 centimetres) be maintained
between a mobile phone and a pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than 6 inches (15
centimetres) from your pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON.
• NOT carry the phone in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise 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 mobile 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 RF energy. Your GP may be able to assist you
in obtaining this information.
3.4 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 answering
a call if driving conditions so require.
3.5 Operational Warnings
3.5.1 For Vehicles With an Air Bag
Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a

Seizures/Blackouts3.6
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.
3.5.2 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a phone type
especially qualified for use in such areas and certified as
“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 fuelling 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. Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres are often but not always posted.
3.5.3 Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn
OFF your phone when you are near electrical blasting caps, in
8 Safety and General Information
a blasting area, or in areas posted “Turn off electronic
devices.” Obey all signs and instructions.
3.5.4 Batteries
Batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury
such as burns if a conductive material such as jewellery,
keys, or beaded chains touch 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,
bag, or other container with metal objects. Use only
Motorola original batteries and chargers.
Your battery or phone may contain symbols, defined as
follows:
