Safety and General Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION.
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR PHONE.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your phone contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and transmits radio frequency range of 900 MHz to 1800 MHz
and employs digital modulation techniques. When you communicate
with your phone, the system handling your call controls the power
level at which your phone transmits. The output power level typically
may vary over a range from 1mW to 2 Watts.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola phone is designed to comply with the following
national and international standards and guidelines regarding exposure
of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of
Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999
Edition
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP) of the United States, Report 86, 1986
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1998
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human
Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency
Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
CompleteVersion.book Page 5 Friday, October 26, 2001 4:45 PM

Safety and General Information
6
• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications
(Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Exposure) Standard 1999
(applicable to wireless phones only)
To assure optimal phone performance and make sure human exposure
to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set
forth in the above standards, always adhere to the following
procedures:
Portable Phone Operation and EME
Exposure
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage
the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the phone is “IN USE”. Holding
the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at
a higher power level than needed.
Phone Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone as you would
a wireline telephone. Speak directly into the microphone.
Body-worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC/Health Canada RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a phone on your body when transmitting,
always place the phone in a Motorola supplied or approved clip,
holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Use of non-
Motorola-approved accessories may exceed FCC/Health Canada RF
exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, and
are not using the phone held in the normal use position at the
ear, ensure the phone and its antenna are at least one inch (2.5
cm) from your body when transmitting.

Safety and General Information
7
Data Operation
When using any data feature of the phone, with or without an
accessory cable, position the phone and its antenna at least one
inch (2.5 cm) from the body.
Approved Accessories
For a list of approved Motorola accessories visit our website at
www.motorola.com.
Electromagnetic Interference/
Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts,
turn off your phone in any facility where posted notices instruct you to
do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your phone when on board an
aircraft. Any use of a phone must be in accordance with applicable
regulations per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker.These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by,
and recommendations of, the United States Food and Drug
Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
CompleteVersion.book Page 7 Friday, October 26, 2001 4:45 PM

Safety and General Information
8
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches (15 centimeters)
from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
• not carry the phone in the breast pocket.
• use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
• turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing
aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Safety and General
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the area where
you drive. Always obey them.
When using your phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.

Operational Warnings
ForVehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place a portable phone in the area over an air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable
phone is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates,
the phone may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury
to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, unless it is a phone type especially qualified for
use in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe.” Do not remove, install, or
charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to
above include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any
other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often
but not always posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your
phone when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or
in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and
instructions.

Operational Cautions
Antennas
Do not use any portable phone that has a damaged antenna. If a
damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can
result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as
burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains
touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in
handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a
pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
