eizures/Blackouts
S
ome people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts 
when exposed to flashing lights, such as when playing video games. 
These may occur even if a person has never had a previous seizure or 
b
lackout. 
If you have experienced seizures or blackouts or if you have a family 
history of such occurrences, please consult your doctor before playing 
v
ideo games or enabling a flashing-lights feature (if available) on your 
mobile device. 
Discontinue use and consult a doctor if any of the following symptoms 
o
ccur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, 
involuntary movements or disorientation. It is always a good idea to 
hold the screen away from your eyes, leave the lights on in the room, 
t
ake a 15-minute break every hour and stop use if you are tired.
Caution About High Volume Usage
Warning: Exposure to loud noise from any source for
extended periods of time may affect your hearing. The 
l
ouder the volume sound level, the less time is required 
before your hearing could be affected. To protect your 
hearing:
•
Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high 
volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
•
Turn the volume down if you can't hear people speaking near you. 
If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of 
pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears or muffled 
speech, you should stop listening to the device through your headset 
o
r headphones and have your hearing checked.

RF Energy Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy interference 
f
rom external sources if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise 
configured for RF energy compatibility. In some circumstances, your 
mobile device may cause interference with other devices.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems
T
urn off your mobile device in any location where posted notices 
instruct you to do so. 
In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do 
so by airline staff. If your mobile device offers an aeroplane mode or

• Understanding AGPS --To provide location information for 
emergency calls, certain Motorola mobile devices incorporate 
Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS) technology. AGPS 
technology can also be used in non-emergency applications to track 
and monitor a user's location, for example, to provide driving 
directions. Users who prefer not to permit such tracking and 
monitoring should avoid using such applications.

• Smart Practices While Driving
Drive Safe, Call Smart
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices 
and their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always 
obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or 
restricted in certain areas -- for example, hands-free use only. 
Go to
www.motorola.com/callsmart
(in English only) for more
information.
Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data, almost 
anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless service is available and safe 
condit ions allow. When driving a car, d riving is your f irst 
responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device while driving, 
remember the following tips:
• Get to know your Motorola mobile device 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.
• Position your mobile device within easy 
reach. Be able to access your mobile device
without removing your eyes from the road. If you 
receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if 
possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your 
implantable medical device. If you have any questions about using your 
m
obile device with your implantable medical device, consult your
health care provider.
D
riving Precautions
The use of wireless phones while driving may cause distraction. 
Discontinue a call if you can't concentrate on driving. 
A
dditionally, the use of wireless devices and their accessories may be 
prohibited or restricted in certain areas. Always obey the laws and 
regulations on the use of these products. 
R
esponsible driving practices can be found in "Smart Practices While 
Driving".
Operational Warnings
Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in public areas.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
A
reas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not 
always, posted and can include fuelling areas, such as below decks on 
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities or areas where the 
a
ir contains chemicals or particles, such as grain dust or metal 
powders. 
When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile device and do not 
r
emove, install or charge batteries. In such areas, sparks can occur and 
cause an explosion or fire.
Symbol Key
Y
our battery, charger or mobile device may contain symbols, defined
as follows:
• Let the person you are speaking to 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.
• 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 responsibility-driving safely.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls 
when your car is not moving or before pulling into traffic.
If you must make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, 
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that 
may be distracting. Make people you are talking to aware you
are driving and suspend conversations that can divert your 
attention away from the road.
• Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 999 or another 
local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or 
medical emergencies (wherever wireless phone service is available).
• Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies. If 
you see a road accident, crime in progress or other serious 
emergency where lives are in danger, call 999 or another local 
emergency number (wherever wireless phone service is available), 
as you would want others to do for you.
• 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 another 
special non-emergency wireless number (wherever wireless phone 
service is available).

Protection against theft
(1)
Your telephone is identified by an IMEI (phone serial number) shown 
on the packaging label and in the product’s memory. We recommend 
that you note the number the first time you use your telephone by 
entering * # 0 6 # and keep it in a safe place. It may be requested by 
the police or your operator if your telephone is stolen. This number 
allows your mobile telephone to be blocked preventing a third person 
from using it, even with a different SIM card.
• Errors and Omissions
Certain mobile phone features are dependent on the capabilities and 
settings of your service provider’s network. Additionally, certain 
features may not be activated by your service provider, and/or the 
provider’s network settings may limit the feature’s functionality. 
Always contact your service provider about feature availability and 
functi onality. All features, fu nctionali ty, and other produ ct 
specifications, as well as the information contained in this user’s guide 
are based upon the latest available information and are believed to be
