Safety Information
Safety and General Information
Safety 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.
Phone Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone as you would a
wireline phone.

9
Safety Information
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 .
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.

10
Safety Information
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.
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.

11
Safety Information
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.
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.

12
Safety Information
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.
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:
