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.

11
Safety and General Information
Phone 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
2.5centimeters (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 susceptible 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 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.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference
Problems
Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct
you to do so. These location include hospitals or health care facilities that
may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

12
Safety and General Information
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 minimise 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 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 the physician or the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from
RF energy.
Driving Precautions
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile device in the area
where you drive. Always obey them.

13
Safety and General Information
When using your phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road. Use 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 best practices can be found in the “Smart Practices
While Driving” 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 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.
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.

14
Safety and General Information
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 phone 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 phone may require recycling in
accordance with local laws. Contact your local
regulatory authorities for more information.

Safety and General 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.
