Safety and General Information
IMPORTANTINFORMATIONONSAFE ANDEFFICIENTOPERATION.READ THIS
INFORMATIONBEFOREUSINGYOUR PHONE.
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information in
user guides published prior to December 1,2002.
Exposure To Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
transmits RFenergy. When you communicate with your phone, the system handling
your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
Your Motorola phone is designed to comply with local regulatory requirements in your
country concerning exposure of human beings to RFenergy.
Operational Precautions
To assure optimal phone performance and make sure human exposure to RFenergy is
within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always adhere to the following
procedures.
External Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or Motorola-approved replacement antenna. Unauthorised
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone.
Do NOT hold the external antenna when the phone is INUSE.Holding the external
antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level
than needed. In addition, use of unauthorised antennas may result in non-compliance
with the local regulatory requirements in your country.
T-Mobile Main.book Page 5 Tuesday, September 30, 2003 3:01 PM

6— Safety and General Information
Phone Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone as you would a wireline
telephone.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with RFenergy 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 phone, if available. Use of
accessories not approved by Motorola may exceed RFenergy exposure guidelines. If
you do not use one of the body-worn accessories approved or supplied by Motorola,
and are not using the phone held in the normal use position, ensure the phone and its
antenna are at least 1inch (2.5centimetres) from your body when transmitting.
Data Operation
When using any data feature of the phone, with or without an accessory cable, position
the phone and its antenna at least 1inch (2.5centimetres) from your body.
Approved Accessories
Use of accessories not approved by Motorola, including but not limited to batteries and
antenna, may cause your phone to exceed RFenergy exposure guidelines. For a list of
approved Motorola accessories, visit our website at
www.Motorola.com
.
RF Energy Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to RF energy interference
from external sources if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise
configured for RF energy compatibility. In some circumstances your phone
may cause interference.
T-Mobile Main.book Page 6 Tuesday, September 30, 2003 3:01 PM

Safety and General Information — 7
Facilities
Turn off your phone in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. These
facilities may include hospitals or health care facilities that may be using equipment that
is sensitive to external RFenergy.
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
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6inches (15
centimetres) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•ALWAYS keep the phone more than 6inches (15 centimetres) from your
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
•NOT carry the phone in the breast pocket.
•Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise 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.
T-Mobile Main.book Page 7 Tuesday, September 30, 2003 3:01 PM

8— Safety and General Information
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 RFenergy.Your GP may be able to assist
you in obtaining this information.
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
For Vehicles With an Air Bag
Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air
bags inflate with great force. If a 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 and certified 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.
T-Mobile Main.book Page 8 Tuesday, September 30, 2003 3:01 PM

Safety and General Information — 9
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above
include fuelling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer
or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such
asgrain,dust,ormetalpowders. Areaswithpotentiallyexplosiveatmospheres
are often but not alwaysposted.
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
electronic devices.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Batteries
Batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive
material such as jewellery, 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, bag, or other container with metal objects. Use only Motorola original
batteries and chargers.
Your battery or phone may contain symbols, defined as follows:
Symbol Definition
Important safety information will follow.
Your battery or phone should not be disposed of in a
fire.
Your battery or phone may require recycling in
accordance with local laws. Contact your local
regulatory authorities for more information.

10 — Safety and General Information
Seizures/Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to
blinking lights, such as when watching television or playing video games. These
seizures or blackouts may occur even if a person 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 doctor before playing video games on your
phone or enabling a blinking-lights feature on your phone. (The blinking-light feature is
not available on all products.)
Parents should monitor their children's use of video game or other features that
incorporate blinking lights on the phones. All persons should discontinue use and
consult a doctor if any of the following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle
twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation.
To limit the likelihood of such symptoms, please take the following safety precautions:
•Do not play or use a blinking-lights feature if you are tired or need sleep.
•Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.
•Play in a room in which all lights are on.
•Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.
Your battery or phone should not be thrown in the trash.
Your phone contains an internal lithium ion battery.

Repetitive Motion Injuries
When you play games on your phone, you may experience occasional discomfort in
your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. Follow these
instructions to avoid problems such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other
musculoskeletal disorders:
•Take a minimum 15-minute break every hour of game playing.
•If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while playing, stop and
rest for several hours before playing again.
•If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during or after play,
stop playing and see a doctor.
