Safety Information
Safety and General Information
Safety Information
This section contains important information on
the safe and efficient operation of your mobile
device. Read this information before using your
mobile device.
*
Exposure To Radio Frequency
(RF) Energy
Your mobile device contains a transmitter and
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF
energy. When you communicate with your mobile
device, the system handling your call controls the
power level at which your mobile device transmits.
Your Motorola mobile device is designed to comply
with local regulatory requirements in your country
concerning exposure of human beings to RF energy.
Operational Precautions
For optimal mobile device performance and to be
sure that human exposure to RF energy does not
exceed the guidelines set forth in the relevant
standards, always follow these instructions and
precautions.
External Antenna Care
If your mobile device has an external antenna, use
only a Motorola-supplied or approved replacement
antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the
mobile device and/or may result in your device not
* The information provided in this document supersedes
the general safety information in user’s guides
published prior to September 1, 2005.

10
Safety Information
complying with local regulatory requirements in your
country.
DO NOT hold the external antenna when the mobile
device is IN USE. Holding the external antenna
affects call quality and may cause the mobile device
to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Product Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your
mobile device just like you would a landline phone.
If you wear the mobile device on your body, always
place the mobile device in a Motorola-supplied or
approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness.
If you do not use a body-worn accessory supplied or
approved by Motorola, keep the mobile device and its
antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your
body when transmitting.
When using any data feature of the mobile device,
with or without an accessory cable, position the
mobile device and its antenna at least
2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body.
Using accessories not supplied or approved by
Motorola may cause your mobile device to exceed RF
energy exposure guidelines. For a list of
Motorola-supplied or approved accessories, visit our
website at
www.motorola.com .
RF Energy
Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy
interference from 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.
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.

11
Safety Information
Follow Instructions to Avoid
Interference Problems
Turn off your mobile device in any location where
posted notices instruct you to do so. These locations
include hospitals or health care facilities that may be
using equipment that is sensitive to external RF
energy.
In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever
instructed to do so by airline staff. If your mobile
device offers an airplane mode or similar feature,
consult airline staff about using it in flight.
Pacemakers
If you have a pacemaker, consult your physician
before using this device.
Persons with pacemakers should observe the
following precautions:
• ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than
20 centimeters (8 inches) from your
pacemaker when the mobile device is
turned ON.
• DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast
pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference.
• Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if
you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital mobile devices may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you
may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer or
physician to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult
your physician or the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy.

12
Safety Information
Driving Precautions
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile
devices in the area where you drive. Always obey
them.
When using your mobile device while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
Using a mobile device may be distracting.
Discontinue a call if you can’t concentrate on
driving.
• Use handsfree operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or
answering a call if driving conditions so
require.
Responsible driving practices can be found in the
“Smart Practices While Driving” section at the end of
this guide and/or at the Motorola website:
www.motorola.com/callsmart .
Operational Warnings
Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in
public areas, such as health care facilities or blasting
areas.
Automobile Air Bags
Do not place a mobile device in the air bag
deployment area.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are
often but not always posted, and can include fueling
areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, or areas where the air
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 remove, install, or charge
batteries. In such areas, sparks can occur and cause
an explosion or fire.

13
Safety Information
Damaged Products
If your mobile device or battery has been submerged
in water, punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do
not use it until you take it to a Motorola Authorized
Service Center. Do not attempt to dry it with an
external heat source, such as a microwave oven.
Batteries and Chargers
If jewelry, keys, beaded chains, or other conductive
materials touch exposed battery terminals, this could
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit), become
very hot, and could cause damage or injury. Be
careful when handling a charged battery, particularly
when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other
container with metal objects.
Use only
Motorola Original™ batteries and chargers.
Caution:
To avoid risk of personal injury, do not
dispose of your battery in a fire.
Your battery, charger, or mobile device may contain
symbols, defined as follows:
Choking Hazards
Your mobile device or its accessories may include
detachable parts, which may present a choking
hazard to small children. Keep your mobile device
and its accessories away from small children.
Symbol Definition
Important safety information
follows.
Do not dispose of your battery or
mobile device in a fire.
Your battery or mobile device may
require recycling in accordance
with local laws. Contact your local
regulatory authorities for more
information.
Do not throw your battery or
mobile device in the trash.
Your mobile device contains an
internal lithium ion battery.

Safety Information
Glass Parts
Some parts of your mobile device may be made of
glass. This glass could break if the product is dropped
on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact.
If glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove.
Stop using your mobile device until the glass is
replaced by a qualified service center.
Seizures/Blackouts
Some 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
blackout.
If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if
you have a family history of such occurrences,
please consult with your physician before playing
video games or enabling a flashing-lights feature
(if available) on your mobile device.
Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the
following symptoms occur: 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, take a 15-minute break
every hour, and stop use if you are very tired.
Repetitive Motion
When you repetitively perform actions such as
pressing keys or entering finger-written characters,
you may experience occasional discomfort in your
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your
body. If you continue to have discomfort during or
after such use, stop use and see a physician.
