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.
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

8
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.

9
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.
Note: Be aware that when the Airplane Mode feature is turned on,
then your phone cannot receive and make a call, including an
emergency call. In order to receive and make a call, you must turn off
the Airplane Mode feature and re-engage your phone’s RF capability.
Always obey the instructions of your airline crew.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of
6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a hand-held
wireless phone and a pacemaker.
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from
your pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
• Do 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.

10
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.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Use mono headset instead of stereo headset.
• 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 following
websites:
www.Motorola.com/callsmart or www.attws.com/
our_company/publiceducation.
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

11
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.
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:
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.

12
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
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.
• 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.

13
Master Reset
During a master reset the product is set to its default settings and all
data files, user settings, and preinstalled applications will be deleted.
A master reset should only be carried out by Motorola, or an
authorized service center. Data in the handset must be backed up
prior to the reset in order for it to be reinstalled following a master
reset. Motorola is not responsible for any data lost through
unauthorized resetting.
