Specific Absorption Rate Data
SARData
This model meets international guidelines for exposure to radio
waves.
Your mobile deviceis a radio transmittera nd receiver. It is designed
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended
by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by
the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety
margins design ed to assure the protection of all persons,
regardless of age and hea lth.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobiles devices
used by the general public is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for
this device when tested at the ear was 0.96 W/kg.1As mobile
devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in o ther
positions, such as on the body as described in this user guide.2
In this case, the highest tested SAR value is 0.50 W/kg.1
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting
power, the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically
below that indicatedabove. This is due to automatic changesto the
power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum level
required to reach the network.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positio ns, they all meet the governme ntal
requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements
to this product model could cause differences in the SAR value for
later products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the
guidelines.
The World Health Organization has stat ed that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any specia l precautions
for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce
your exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or
using a “hands-fre e” device to keep the mobile phone away from th e
head and body.
Additional Information can be found on the websites of the
World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/emf)
or Motorola,
Inc. (http://www.motorola.com/rfhealth)

1. The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for
testing. The limit incorporates a substantial margin for safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements. Additional related information includes the Motorola
testing protocol, assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty
range for this product.

Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones
Hearing A ids
Some Motorola phones are measured for compatibility with hearing
aids. If the box for your particular model has “Rated for Hearing
Aids” printed on it, the following explanation applies.
When some mobile phones are used near some hearing devices
(hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing,
humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are moreimmune
than others to this inter ference noise, and phones also vary in the
amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of
their mobile pho nes, to assist hearing device use rs in finding phones
that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones
have been rated. Phones thatare rated have the rating on their box
or a label on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the
user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device
happens to be vulne rable to interference, you may no tbe able to use
a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing
device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones
that are not labele d. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to be m ore usable with a hearin g device’s telecoil (“T Switch”
or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher
of the two ratings. (N ote that not all hearing devices h ave telecoils in
them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of
interference. Your hearing devi ce manufacturer or hearing health
professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The
more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to
experience interference noise from mobile phones.

Driving Safety
Drive Safe, Call Smart SM
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices
and their accessories in the areas wh ere you drive. Always
obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or
restricted in certain areas. Go to w ww.motorola.com/callsmart
for more information.
Your mobile devicelets you communicate by voice and data—almost
anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless service is available and safe
conditions allow. When driving acar, drivingis your first
responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device while driving,
remember the following tips:
• Get to know your Motorola mobile device an d its features
such as speed dial and redial. If available, these features help
you to place yourcall without taking your attentionoff the road.
• When available, use a handsfree device.
If possible, add an additional layer of convenience to
your mobile device with one of the many
Motorola Original handsfree accessories available
today.
• P osition your mobile device within easy reach.
Be able to access your mobile device without removing your eyes
from the road. If you receive an inco ming call at an inconvenient
time, if possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.
• Let the person you are speaking with know you are d riving;
if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous
weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy
traffic can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Jotting down a “to d o” list or going through your address book
takes attention away from your primary responsibility—driving
safely.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls
when your car is not moving or before pulling into traffic.
If you must make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
• Do n otengage in stressful or emotiona l conversations that
may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you
are driving and suspend conversations that can divert your
attention away from the road.
• Use your mobile d evice to call for help. Dial 911 or other local
emergency number in the case of fire, tr affic accident, or medical
emergencies.*
• Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies. If
you see an auto accident, crime in progress, or other serious
emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local
emergency number, as you would want othe rs to do for you.*
• Call roadside assistance or a special non -emergency
wireless assistance numb er when necessary. If you see a
broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic
signal, a minor traffi c accident where no one appears injured, or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other
special non-emergency wireless number. *
Wherever wireless phone service is available.
