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 level 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 guidelines set forth in the relevant standards,
always adhere to the following procedures.
External Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or Motorola-approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorised antennas,modifications,or attachmentscould damage the
phone.
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. In addition, use of
unauthorised antennas may resultin non-compliance with the local
regulatory requirements in your country.
CG.E380.GSM.book Page 10 Wednesday, August 27, 2003 11:28 AM

11
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 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 exposure 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 limited to
batteries and antenna, may cause your phone to exceed RF energy
exposure guidelines. For a list of approved 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, designed, or
otherwise configured for RF energy compatibility. In some circumstances
your phone may cause interference.
Facilities
Turn off your phone 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.
CG.E380.GSM.book Page 11 Wednesday, August 27, 2003 11:28 AM

12
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
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of
6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless
phone and a pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than 6 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.
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the area where
you drive. Always obey them.
CG.E380.GSM.book Page 12 Wednesday, August 27, 2003 11:28 AM

13
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.
Responsible driving best practices may be found in the “Wireless Phone
Safety Tips” at the end of this manual and at the Motorola website:
www.Motorola.com/callsmart .
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 force. If a 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 it is a phone type especially qualified for 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 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
CG.E380.GSM.book Page 13 Wednesday, August 27, 2003 11:28 AM

14
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.
Use only Motorola original batteries
and chargers.
Your battery or phone may contain symbols, defined as follows:
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 blackouts may occur even 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
Symbol Definition
Important safety information will follow.
Your battery or phone should not be disposed of in a
fire.
Your battery or phone may require recycling in
accordance with local laws. Contact your local
regulatory authorities for more information.
Your battery or phone should not be thrown in the
trash.
Your phone contains an internal lithium ion battery.
LiIon BATT

playing video games on your phone or enabling a blinking-lights feature
on your phone. (The blinking-light feature is not available 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, involuntary
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 your phone, you may experience 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.

When you charge the battery, the battery level indicator in
the upper right corner of the display shows how much of
the charging process is complete. See “Battery Level
Indicator” on page 28.
Battery Use
Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal
objects to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.
To maximize battery 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 a
long time may require a longer initial 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 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.
