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.
