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
There are several simple guidelines to operating your
phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory
service.

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.,
Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint-
authorized personnel should service your
phone and accessories. Failure to do so may
be dangerous and void your warranty.

4 Important Safety Information
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.

6 Important Safety Information
If you see a message on your display such as
Invalid Battery or Unable to Charge , take the
following steps:
● Remove the battery and inspect it to confirm that it
has a “Motorola Original” hologram;
● If there is no hologram, the battery is not a Motorola
battery;
● If there is a hologram, replace the battery and try
charging it again;
● If the message remains, contact a Motorola
authorized service center.
Proper and safe battery disposal and recycling:
Proper battery disposal is not only important for safety,
it benefits the environment. You can recycle your used
batteries in many retail or service provider locations.
Additional information on proper disposal and
recycling can be found at
www.motorola.com/recycling
Disposal: Promptly dispose of used batteries
in accordance with local regulations. Contact
your local recycling center or national
recycling organizations for more information on how to
dispose of batteries.
WARNING: Use of a non-Motorola battery or
charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
WARNING: Never dispose of batteries in a fire
because they may explode.

Driving Precautions
Responsible and safe driving is your primary
responsibility when behind the wheel of a vehicle.
Using a mobile device or accessory for a call or other
application while driving may cause distraction. Using
a mobile device or accessory may be prohibited or
restricted in certain areas, always obey the laws and
regulations on the use of these products.
While driving, NEVER:
● Type or read texts.
● Enter or review written data.
● Surf the web.
● Input navigation information.
● Perform any other functions that divert your attention
from driving.

8 Important Safety Information
While driving, ALWAYS:
● Keep your eyes on the road.
● Use a handsfree device if available or required by
law in your area.
● Enter destination information into a navigation
device
before driving.
● Use voice activated features (such as voice dial)
and speaking features (such as audible directions),
if available.
● Obey all local laws and regulations for the use of
mobile devices and accessories in the vehicle.
● End your call or other task if you cannot concentrate
on driving.
● Remember to follow the “Smart Practices While

callsmart (in English only).
Seizures/Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures
or blackouts when exposed to flashing lights, such as
when playing videos or games. These may occur
even if a person has 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 physician before playing videos or
games or enabling a flashing-lights feature (if
available) on your mobile device.
Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the
following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle
twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movements,
or disorientation. It is always a good idea to hold the
screen away from your eyes, leave the lights on in the
room, take a 15-minute break every hour, and stop use
if you are tired.

Caution About High Volume Usage
To protect your hearing:
● Limit the amount of time you use headsets or
headphones at high volume.
● Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy
surroundings.
● Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people
speaking near you.
If you experience hearing discomfort, including the
sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in
your ears, or muffled speech, you should stop listening
to the device through your headset or headphones
and have your hearing checked.
For more information about hearing, see our website
at
direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/nss/AcousticSafety.asp
(in English only).
Repetitive Motion
When you repetitively perform actions such as
pressing keys or entering finger-written characters, you
may experience occasional discomfort in your hands,
arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If
you continue to have discomfort during or after such
use, stop use and see a physician.
Children
Keep your mobile device and its accessories away
from small children.
These products are not toys and
may be hazardous to small children. For example:
WARNING: Exposure to loud noise from any
source for extended periods of time
may affect your hearing. The louder
the volume sound level, the less time
is required before your hearing could
be affected.

10 Important Safety Information
● A choking hazard may exist for small, detachable
parts.
● Improper use could result in loud sounds, possibly
causing hearing injury.
● Improperly handled batteries could overheat and
cause a burn.
Similar to a computer, if a child does use your mobile
device, you may want to monitor their access to help
prevent exposure to inappropriate apps or content.
Glass Parts
Some parts of your mobile device may be made of
glass. This glass could break if the product receives a
substantial impact. If glass breaks, do not touch or
attempt to remove. Stop using your mobile device until
the glass is replaced by a qualified service center.
Operational Warnings
Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in
public areas.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often,
but not always, posted and can include fueling areas,
such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, or areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain dust, or
metal powders.
When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile
device, and do not remove, install, or charge batteries
unless it is a radio product type especially qualified for
use in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe” (for example,
Factory Mutual, CSA, or UL approved). In such areas,
sparks can occur and cause an explosion or fire.
