Welcome
Thank you for choosing Motorola—a global leader in

All Motorola cellular phones are designed and manufactured
in the United States to meet Motorola’s exacting specifications
and world-class quality standards. During development, our

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 StarTAC
™
cellular telephone.
First introduced in 1984, the hand-held portable cellular telephone
is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever
developed. With it you can stay in contact with your office, your
home, emergency services, and others.
For the safe and efficient operation of your phone,
please observe these guidelines:
Exposure
to Radio
Frequency
Energy
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.
European and International agencies have set standards and
recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF elec-
tromagnetic energy.
•
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
•
Verband Deutscher Electringenieure (VDE) DIN-0848
• Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in
Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy
•
National Radiological Protection Board of the United
Kingdom, GS 11, 1988
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.
1-1992
•
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP). Report 86
•
Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6

Safety Information
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evalua-
tions 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).
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unautho-
rized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the
phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Antenna
Care
Normal Position:
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation:
•
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.
Batteries
Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a
conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches
exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and
become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exer-
cise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it
inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects. When
the battery is detached from the phone, your batteries are packed with a
protective battery cover; please use this cover for storing your batteries
when not in use (see page 16).
