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.

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.
