Safety and General Information
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 contained in user guides published
prior to July 2000. For information regarding radio use in a
hazardous atmosphere please refer to the Factory Mutual
(FM) Approval Manual Supplement or Instruction Card, which
is included with radio models that offer this capability.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is
ON, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy.
The phone operates in the frequency range of 824 MHz to
849 MHz in analog and digital mode and 1850 MHz to 1910
MHz in digital mode.
When you communicate with your phone, the system handling
your call controls the power levels at which your phone
transmits. The output power level typically may vary over a
12
Safety and General Information
range from 0.00 watts to 0.35 watts in analog mode and 0.00
watts to 0.56 watts in digital mode.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola phone is designed to comply with the following
national and international standards and guidelines regarding
exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy:
•United States Federal Communications Commission,
Code of Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J
•American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute
of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.
1-1992
•Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
C95.1-1999 Edition
•National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP) of the United States, Report
86, 1986
•International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
•Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of
Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic
Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz,
1999
•Australian Communications Authority
Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic
Radiation-Human Exposure) Standard 1999
To assure optimal phone performance and make sure human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within

13
Safety and General Information
the guidelines set forth in the above standards, always adhere
to the following procedures:
Portable Phone Operation and EME Exposure
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC
regulations.
Do NOT hold the antenna when the phone is in use.
Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Phone Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone
as you would a wireline telephone. Speak directly into
the microphone.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC/Health Canada RF
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
product. Use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may
exceed FCC/Health Canada RF exposure guidelines. If you
do not use one of the Motorola-supplied or approved
body-worn accessories, and are not using the phone held in
the normal use position, ensure the phone and its antenna
are at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body
when transmitting.
14
Safety and General Information
Data Operation
When using any data feature of the phone, with or without an
accessory cable, position the phone and its antenna at
least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body.
Approved Accessories
For a list of approved Motorola accessories, visit our website
at
www.mot.com .
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded,
designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic
compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility
conflicts, turn off your phone in any facility where posted
notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF
energy.
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 Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends
that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be

15
Safety and General Information
maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by, and recommendations of, the
United States Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches
(15 centimeters) from your pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON.
•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.
Safety and General Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the
area where you drive. Always obey them.
16
Safety and General Information
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.
Operational Warnings
For Vehicles With an Air Bag
Do not place a portable phone in the area over an air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force.
If a portable 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.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless the phone is a model
specifically identified as being “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 chemical transfer or storage facilities, 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. Areas with
potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always
posted.

17
Safety and General Information
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 two-way radio.”
Obey all signs and instructions.
Operational Cautions
Antennas
Do not use any portable phone that has a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your
skin, a minor burn can result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily
injury such as burns if a conductive material such as
jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches 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.

and your voice, data, and other application usage patterns.
Battery Care
Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal
objects to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.
To maximize your battery’s performance:
•Always use Motorola Original™ batteries and battery
chargers.The phone warranty does not cover damage
caused from using non-Motorola batteries and/or
battery chargers.
•New batteries or batteries that have been stored for
long periods of time may require a longer charge time.
•Maintain the battery at or near room temperature
when charging.
•Do not expose batteries to temperatures below
-10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). Always take your
phone with you when you leave your vehicle.
•When you do not intend to use a battery for a while,
store it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place, such as a
refrigerator.
•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.

About Your Phone
The rechargeable batteries that power this
product must be disposed of properly and may
need to be recycled. Refer to your battery’s label
for battery type. Contact your local recycling center for
proper disposal methods. Never dispose of batteries in a
fire because they may explode.
Extending Battery Life
• Turn off your display backlight
The backlight uses power. To turn it off, see page 55.
• Minimize keypad-intense functions
Activities that require intensive keystroke use (such as
playing a game or using messaging) reduce your
phone’s talk and standby time. Lock the keypad when
storing the phone in your purse or pocket to avoid
unnecessary keypad and backlight activations. See
page 140.
