###10 SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION. READ THIS
INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR PHONE.
The information provided in this document supersedes the
general safety information contained in user guides pu lished
prior to July 2000. For information regarding radio use in a
hazardous atmosphere please refer to the Factory Mutual (FM)
Approval Manual Supplement or Instruction Card, which is included
with radio models that offer this capa ility.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is su ject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
RF OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is
ON, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The
phone operates in the frequency ranges of 880 MHz to 915 MHz, 1710
MHz to 1785 MHz, and 1850 MHz to 1910 MHz in digital mode.
When you communicate with your phone, the system handling
your call controls the power levels at which your phone transmits.
The output power level typically may vary over a range from 0.0
watts to 1.58 watts in digital mode for the 900MHz and, 0.0 watts
to 1.00 watts in digital mode for the 1800MHz and, and 0.0 watts
to 0.80 watts in digital mode for the 1900MHz and.
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 eings to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy: ###11
--United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of
Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 su -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
--Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications
(Electromagnetic Radiation--Human Exposure) Standard 1999
To assure optimal phone performance and make sure human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the
guidelines set forth in the a ove standards, always adhere to the
following procedures:
Porta le 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. ###12
Body-Worn Operation: To maintain compliance with FCC/Health
Canada RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a phone on your ody
when transmitting, always place the phone in a Motorola-supplied
or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or ody harness for this
product. Use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may exceed
FCC/Health Canada RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use one of
the Motorola-supplied or approved ody-worn accessories, and are
not using the phone held in the normal use position, ensure the
phone and its antenna are at least one inch ( .5 centimeters) from
your body when transmitting.
Data Operation: When using any data feature of the phone,
with or without an accessory ca le, position the phone and its
antenna at least one inch ( .5 centimeters) from your body.
Approved Accessories: For a list of approved Motorola
accessories, visit our we site at www.mot.com.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is suscepti le to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded,
designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic
compati ility.
Facilities: To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or
compati ility conflicts, turn off your phone in any facility where
posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may e using equipment that is sensitive to external RF
energy.
Aircraft: When instructed to do so, turn off your phone when
on oard an aircraft. Any use of a phone must e in accordance
with applica le regulations per airline crew instructions. ###13
Medical Devices:
Pacemakers: The Advanced Medical Technology Association
recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters)
e maintained etween a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research
y, and recommendations of, the United States Food and Drug
Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
--ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches (15 centimeters)
from your pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.

--NOT carry the phone in the reast pocket.
--use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
--turn OFF the phone 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 e a le
to assist you in o taining this information. ###14 SAFETY AND
GENERAL USE WHILE DRIVING

Battery" on page 21.)
The SIM card compartment is located in the attery
compartment of the phone. As you examine the compartment, you will
notice that the ottom section is recessed, and has various
irregularities in it. This area is the SIM card compartment.
Using your thum , gently search the area until you find a
section that moves from side to side and has a click as it slides.
This is the SIM card holder.
2. Slide the SIM card holder towards the left until it
clicks. Turning the phone over at this point will allow the cover
to fall open. ###18
3. If necessary, remove the SIM card from the cover y
sliding it out.
4. Notice that the SIM card has one corner that is angled.
With the angled corner at the top right, slide the SIM card into
the channels of the cover as far as you can. (It will extend
eyond the cover a out 1/8 inch.) This is the only way the SIM
card will fit into the compartment. DO NOT TRY TO FORCE THE CARD
TO FIT. You must have the card sliding down the channels of the
cover.
5. Close the SIM cover, then press and slide it to the right
to lock it into place.
6. Replace the attery and attery cover.
DISPLAY TIP: If the SIM card is inserted the wrong way

wireless carrier's network configuration; signal strength; the
temperature at which you operate your phone; the features and/or
settings you select and use; and your voice, data, and other
application usage patterns. ###22 BATTERY CARE

o jects to contact or short-circuit the attery terminals.
To maximize your attery's performance:
--Always use Motorola Original atteries and attery

periods of time may require a longer charge time.
--Maintain the attery at or near room temperature when
charging.
--Do not expose atteries to temperatures elow -10 degrees C

--When you do not intend to use a attery for a while, store
it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place, such as a refrigerator.
--Over extended periods of time, atteries gradually wear
down and require longer charging times. This is normal. If you

or an increase in charging time, then it is pro a ly time to
purchase a new attery. ###23
