Legal and Safety ..................
• Battery Use & Safety
Important: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or damage. Most battery issues arise from improper handling of
batteries, and particularly from the continued use of damaged batteries.
DON'Ts
• Don't disassemble, crush, puncture, shred or otherwise attempt to change the form of your battery.
• Don't let the phone or battery come in contact with water. Water can get into the phone's circuits, leading to
corrosion. If the phone and/or battery get wet, have them checked by your carrier or contact Motorola, even if they appear to be working properly.
• Don't allow the battery to touch metal objects. If metal objects, such as jewellery, stay in prolonged contact with the battery contact points, the battery could become very hot.
• Don't place your battery near a heat source. Excessive heat can damage the phone or the battery. High temperatures can cause the battery to swell, leak or malfunction. Therefore:
Do not dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.
Avoid leaving your phone in your car in high temperatures.
DOs
• Do avoid dropping the battery or phone. Dropping these
items, especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause damage.
• Do contact your service provider or Motorola if your phone or battery has been damaged by being dropped or by high temperatures.
Important: Use Motorola Original produ cts for quality assurance and safeguards. To aid consumers in identifying
authentic Motorola batteries f rom non-ori ginal or c ounterfeit batteries (that may not have adequate safety protection), Motorola provides holograms on its batteries. Consumers should confirm that any battery they purchase has a "Motorola Original" hologram.
14
Note: Some mobile phones may contain a non Motorola-branded battery without a hologram when purchased. Those batteries are designed for use with your phone. If a replacement is needed, and a Motorola-branded battery is not available, only the type and model that came with your phone are recommended for use. Important: Refer to Motorola's warranty for details of coverage and exclusions. Warning: Use of an improper battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard. Proper and safe battery disposal and recycling: Proper battery disposal is not only important for safety, it also benefits the environment. Consumers may recycle their used batteries in many retail or service provider locations. Additional information on proper disposal and recycling may be found on the Web:
www.motorola.com/recycling
www.rbrc.org/call2recycle/
(in English only) Dispos al: Promptly dis pose of used b atteries in accordance with local regulations. Contact your local recycling centre or national recycling organisations for more information on how to dispose of batteries. Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.
• Battery Charging
Notes for charging your phone's battery:
When charging your battery, keep it near room temperature.
Never expose batteries to temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F) when charging.
New batteries are not fully charged.
New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more
time to charge.
Motorola batteries and charging systems have circuitry that
protects the battery from damage from overcharging.
If your battery is fully discharged, the phone may not display a
charging indicator during the first 5~15 minutes whilst charging.

S
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. For more information about hearin g, see our Web si te at

Specific Absorption Rate
Y
our model wireless phone meets international guidelines
for exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed n
ot to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organisation ICNIRP and include safety margins d
esigned to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in measurements. The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific A
bsorption Rate (SAR). The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobile devices used by the general public is 2 watts per kilogram (W/kg), and the highest SAR value for this mobile device when tested at the ear is 1.24 W/kg. A
s mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in this guide. In this case, the highest tested SAR value is 1.26 W/kg. The tests are carried out i
n accordance with international guidelines for testing. The SAR information includes the Motorola testing protocol, assessment procedure and measurement uncertainty range for this product. A
s SAR is measured utilising the mobile device's highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of this mobile device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the mobile device to ensure it only uses the minimum l
evel required to reach the network. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various mobile devices and at various positions, they meet the governmental r
equirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements to this product model could cause differences in the SAR value for later products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the guidelines. T
he World Health Organisation has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your e
xposure, then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a hands-free device to keep the mobile device away from the head and body. A
