They cooked it, steamed it, shook it, shocked it, dusted it, and
dropped it—and the phone still worked! We’re confident that
the StarTAC phone you purchased will meet your own exacting
standards.

Safety Information
Important: Read this information before using your
wireless handheld phone.
Exposure to Radio Frequency
Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power
radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and
also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, The Federal Communications Commissions
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent
with safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
C95.1 1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP) Report 86 1986
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example,
over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health agencies, and industry
reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI
Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines
(and those standards).

Important: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF
exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body use
only the Motorola supplied carrying case, holster or other
body-worn accessory for this product and ensure that the
antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body
when transmitting.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the phone and may violate local agency
regulations.
Phone Operation
Normal Operation: Hold the phone as you would any
other telephone, with the antenna pointed up and over your
shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation: Observe the following
guidelines to operate your phone most efficiently.
• Extend your antenna fully.
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the
phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects
call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a
higher power level than otherwise needed.
