Safety and General Information
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.
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 handling your call controls the power le v el 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.
Operational Precautions
To assure optimal phone performance and make sure human exposure to RF energy is within the guide lines set forth in the relevant standards, always adhere to the following procedures.
Phone Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone as you would a wireline telephone.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with RF energy exposure guidelines, if you wear a phone on your body when transmitting, always place the
7
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 e xposure 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 centimeters) from your body when transmitting.
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 centimeters) from your body.
Approved Accessories
Use of accessories not approved by Motorola, including but not l imited to batteries and antenna, may cause your phone to ex ceed RF energ y exposure guidelines. F or a list of appro v e d Motorola accessories, visit our website at
www.Motorola.com
.
RF Energy Interference/Compatibility
Note:
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to RF energy interference from external sources if inadequately shielded, designe d, or otherwise configured for RF energy compatibility. In some circumstances your phone may cause interference.
Facilities
Turn off y our p hone 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.
8
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.
Note:
Be aware that when the Airplane Mode feature is turned on, then your phone cannot receive and make a call, including an emergency call. In order to receive and make a call, you must turn off the Airplane Mode feature and re-engage your phone’s RF capability. Always obey the instructions of your airline crew.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a hand-held wireless phone and a pacemaker.
• ALWAYS k eep the phone more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from
your pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
• Do NOT carry the phone in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize 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 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 it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
9
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.
• Use mono headset instead of stereo headset.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
Responsible driving best practices may be found in the “Wireless Phone Safety Tips” at the end of this manual and at the following websites:
our_company/publiceducation.
www.Motorola.com/callsmart or www.attws.com/
Operational Warnings
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 f orce. If a phone is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the phone ma y be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
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 f or 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 fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or
10
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.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn OFF your phone when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted “Turn off electronic devices.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Batteries
Batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, 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, purse, or other container with metal objects.
Motorola original batteries and chargers.
Your battery or phone may contain symbols, defined as follows:

11
Seizures/Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to blinking lights, such as when watching television or playing video games. These seizures or b lac k outs ma y occur e v en if a person never had a previous seizure or blackout.
If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such occurrences, please consult with your doctor before playing video games on your phone or enabling a blinking-lights feature on your phone. (The blinki ng-light featu re is not av ailable on all products.)
Parents should monitor their children’s use of video game or other features that incorporate blinking lights on the phones. All persons should discontinue use and consult a doctor if any of the following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, in voluntary movements, or disorientation.
To limit the likelihood of such symptoms, please take the following safety precautions:
• Do not play or use a blinking-lights feature if you are tired or need
sleep.
• Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.
• Play in a room in which all lights are on.
• Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.
Repetitive Motion Injuries
When you play games on y our phone, y ou may e xperience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders:
• Take a minimum 15-minute break every hour of game playing.
• If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while playing,
stop and rest for several hours before playing again.
• If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms dur ing or after
play, stop playing and see a doctor.
12
Master Reset
During a master reset the product is set to its default settings and all data files, user settings, and preinstalled applications will be deleted. A master reset should only be carried out by Motorola, or an authorized service center.

Synchronizing Information
This chapter introduces basic concepts and features of Microsoft ActiveSync, and explains how to set up Server ActiveSync, synchronize remotely, and create a synchronization schedule. This chapter also gives an overview of the different types of Microsoft Outlook information you can synchronize.
For more information about ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.
ActiveSync
You can synchronize information on your desktop computer and/or a Microsoft Exchange Server with the information on your phone. Connecting to a company server requires assistance from an IT professional. Contact your system administrator for information about remote synchronization, see page 71. ActiveSync compares the information on your phone with the information on your desktop computer and/or the server and updates all locations with the most recent information. With ActiveSync, you can:
• Keep your Outlook information up-to-date by synchronizing your phone with your desktop computer.
• Synchronize you have the latest inf ormation, ev en when your desktop computer is turned off.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your phone and your desktop computer.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization schedule.
• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much information is synchronized. For e xample, y ou can choose how many weeks of past appointments to synchronize.

Installing ActiveSync on Your PC
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync 3.6 or above on your desktop computer (Your companion CD contains ActiveSync 3.6, or you can download ActiveSync for free from the Microsoft website). ActiveSync is already installed on your phone.
Creating a Partnership
After the installation is complete, the New Partnership Wizard helps you set up a partnership between your phone and your desktop computer and/or a server so that you can start synchronizing information and customizing your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization process automatically begins when you finish using the wizard. After the first synchronization, your Outlook information appears on your phone.
Notes:
• If you have a firewall on your desktop it may cause difficulities
establishing your partnership with your phone.
• To prevent synchronization problems, select Synchronize with
Microsoft Mobile Information Server and/or this desktop computer in the New Partnership Wizard only if you are certain that your computer is running Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later and you know the server name. Otherwise, select Synchronize with this desktop computer. For more information, contact your network administrator or service provider.

Synchronizing Inbox
When you select Inbox for synchronization in ActiveSync, email messages are synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. During synchronization, the following events occur:
• Messages are copied from the Outlook Inbo x folder on your desktop computer, or from a Microsoft Exchange Server, to the Inbox folder on your phone.
• By default, when synchronizing Inbox information with your desktop computer, you receive messages only from the last 3 days and the first 0.5 KB of each new message. You can also choose to download file only attachments.
• By default, when synchronizing Inbox information with a server, you receive messages only from the last three days and only the first 500 bytes of each new message.
• The messages on your phone and on your desktop computer are linked. When you delete a message on your p hone, it is deleted from your desktop computer the next time y ou synchronize, and vice versa.
• Messages in subfolders in other email folders in Outlook are synchronized only if the folders have been selected for synchronization in your phone’s Inbox.
Note:
SMS messages are not received in Inbox through synchronization. Instead, they are sent to your phone by wa y of your service provider.
Synchronizing Calendar
Calendar items stored on your phone can be synchronized with calendar items stored on your desktop computer or on a Microsoft Exchange Server. By def ault, calendar items from the last 2 weeks will be synchronized.
Calendar items created on your phone are copied to your desktop computer and/or server during synchronization, and vice versa. Similarly, Calendar items that are deleted from your phone are also deleted from your desktop computer and/or server during synchronization, and vice versa. This keeps your information up-to­date in all locations.

73
Synchronizing Contacts
Contacts stored on your phone can be synchronized with contacts stored on your desktop computer or on a Microsoft Exchange Server. By default, all of your contacts will be synchronized.
Contacts created on your phone are copied to your desktop computer and/or server during synchronization, and vice versa. Similarly, contacts that are deleted from your phone are deleted from your desktop computer and/or server during synchronization, and vice versa. This keeps your information current in all locations.
To synchronize the contacts stored on the SIM card with contacts stored on your desktop computer or on a Microsoft Exchange Server, first export the SIM contacts to your phone using SIM Manager. After synchronizing, you import the phone contacts to the SIM card using SIM Manager. Please refer to “SIM Manager” on page 122 for more information.
Synchronizing Tasks
Tasks stored on your phone can be synchronized with tasks stored on your desktop computer. Task synchronization is automatically selected in ActiveSync. By default, all of your incomplete tasks will be synchronized.
Tasks created on your phone are copied to your desktop computer during synchronization, and vice versa. Similarly, tasks that are deleted from your phone are deleted from your desktop computer during synchronization, and vice versa. This keeps your information current in all locations.
Note:
Synchronizing Information
Tasks can be synchronized only with your desktop computer; they cannot be synchronized with a server.
Synchronizing Using an Infrared Connection

SMS Messages
These messages are delivered to your phone immediately. If your phone is turned off when SMS messages arrive, you are notified the next time you turn on your phone. A closed envelope icon , indicating an unopened SMS message, appears at the top of the display, accompanied by an SMS sound alert. You can view new SMS messages in Inbox.
You can send and receive SMS messages up to 160 characters over the phone network. Longer SMS messages are automatically sent in chunks as several small SMS messages, and will be unified as one SMS message after receipt of all the small messages.
The advantages of SMS messages are:
• SMS messages are sent instantly.
• SMS messages can be sent or received during a voice or data call.
• Your SMS messages can be read by most recipients, because most mobile phones support SMS.
Note:
SMS messages are not synchronized, and you cannot use
them to send or receive attachments.
