Safety and General 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 a 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.
* The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety
information in user’s guides published prior to September 1, 2005.
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
To assure optimal mobile device performance and to be sure 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 complying with local regulatory requirements in
your country.
Do NOT hold the external antenna when the phone is IN USE.
Holding the external antenna affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than needed.
