This booklet contains important operational and safety
information that will help you safely use your phone.
Failure to read and follow the information provided in
this phone guide may result in serious bodily injury,
death, or property damage.
General Precautions

located while using the phone.
● Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to
Your Phone
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency
Calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which
cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any
mobile phone for essential communication (e.g.,

authorized personnel should service your
phone and accessories. Failure to do so may

medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be
possible on all cellular networks or when certain
network services or mobile phone features are in use.
Check with your local service provider for details.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always
follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn
your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or
when it may cause interference or danger.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To
prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the
U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations
require you to have permission from a crew member
to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To
prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations
prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Battery Use & Safety
DON’Ts
● Don’t disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or
otherwise attempt to change the form of your
battery.
● Don’t let the mobile device or battery come in
contact with liquids.*
Liquids can get into the
mobile device’s circuits, leading to corrosion.
● Don’t allow the battery to touch metal objects. If
metal objects, such as jewelry, stay in prolonged
contact with the battery contact points, the battery
could become very hot.
Important: Handle and store batteries properly to
avoid injury or damage.
Most battery
issues arise from improper handling of
batteries, and particularly from the
continued use of damaged batteries.

Important Safety Information 5
● Don’t place your mobile device or battery near a
heat source.*
High temperatures can cause the
battery to swell, leak, or malfunction.
● Don’t dry a wet or damp battery with an
appliance or heat source
, such as a hair dryer or
microwave oven.
DOs
● Do avoid leaving your mobile device in your car
in high temperatures.*
● Do avoid dropping the mobile device or battery.*
Dropping these items, especially on a hard surface,
can potentially cause damage.*
● Do contact your service provider or Motorola if
your mobile device or battery has been
damaged by dropping, liquids or high
temperatures.
Motorola’s warranty does not cover damage to the
mobile device caused by non-Motorola batteries and/
or chargers. To help you identify authentic Motorola
batteries from non-original or counterfeit batteries (that
may not have adequate safety protection), Motorola
provides holograms on its batteries. You should
confirm that any battery you purchase has a “Motorola
Original” hologram.
Note: *Always make sure that the battery
compartment and any connector covers are
closed and secure to avoid direct exposure of
the battery to any of these conditions, even if
your product information states that your
mobile device can resist damage from these
conditions.
Important: Motorola recommends you always
use Motorola-branded batteries and
chargers for quality assurance and
safeguards.
