Safety and General Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND
EFFICIENT OPERATION. READ THIS INFORMATION
BEFORE USING YOUR PHONE.
1
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 instructions.
External Antenna Care
If your phone has an external antenna, use only the
supplied or Motorola-approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the phone and/or may result in
non-compliance 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.
CG.GSM.E680i.book Page 11 Friday, March 4, 2005 3:26 PM

12
Phone Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your
phone as you would a wireline phone.
Body-Worn Operation: Voice Communication
To maintain compliance with RF energy exposure
guidelines, if you wear a phone on your body when
transmitting voice communications, 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 2.5 centimeters
(1 inch) 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 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your
body.
Approved Accessories
Use of accessories not approved by Motorola,
including but not limited to batteries, antennas, and
convertible covers, may cause your phone to exceed
RF energy exposure guidelines. For a list of approved
Motorola accessories, visit our website at
www.motorola.com .
CG.GSM.E680i.book Page 12 Friday, March 4, 2005 3:26 PM

13
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.
Note: 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.
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.
Aircraft
Turn off your wireless device whenever instructed to do
so by airline staff. If your device offers a flight mode or
similar feature, consult airline staff about use in flight. If
your device offers a feature that automatically turns on
the phone, then turn off this feature before boarding an
airplane or entering an area where the use of wireless
devices is restricted.
CG.GSM.E680i.book Page 13 Friday, March 4, 2005 3:26 PM

14
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•ALWAYS keep the phone more than
15 centimeters (6 inches) 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.
CG.GSM.E680i.book Page 14 Friday, March 4, 2005 3:26 PM

15
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in
the area where you drive. Always obey them.
When using your phone while driving, please:
•Give full attention to driving and to the road. Using
a phone may be distracting in certain
circumstances. 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
“Wireless Phone Safety Tips” at the end of this guide
and/or 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.
Gas or Petrol Stations
Obey all posted signs with respect to the use of radio
equipment in gas or petrol stations. Turn off your
wireless device if instructed by authorized staff.
CG.GSM.E680i.book Page 15 Friday, March 4, 2005 3:26 PM

16
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere. 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 areas posted
“Turn off electronic devices.” Obey all signs and
instructions.
Damaged Products
If your phone 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 to determine if it has been damaged. Do not
attempt to dry it with an external heat source, such as a
microwave oven.
CG.GSM.E680i.book Page 16 Friday, March 4, 2005 3:26 PM

17
Batteries and Chargers
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 hot. Take
care 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:
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
CG.GSM.E680i.book Page 17 Friday, March 4, 2005 3:26 PM

18
Choking Hazards
Your phone or its accessories may include detachable
parts, which may present a choking hazard to small
children. Keep your phone and its accessories away
from small children.
Seizures/Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures
or blackouts when exposed to flashing 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 playing video games on
your phone or enabling a flashing-lights feature on your
phone. (The flashing-light feature is not available on all
products.)
Parents should monitor their children's use of video
game or other features that incorporate flashing 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 flashing-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.
CG.GSM.E680i.book Page 18 Friday, March 4, 2005 3:26 PM

19
•Play at the farthest distance possible from the
screen.
Repetitive Motion Injuries
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.
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.
•If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore
while playing, stop and rest for several hours
before playing again.
•If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms
during or after play, stop playing and see a doctor.
