Safety and General
Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT
OPERATION. READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR
PERSONAL COMMUNICATOR.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your Personal Communicator contains a transmitter and a
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits radio frequency
(RF) energy. The Personal Communicator operates in the
frequency range of 824.04 MHz to 848.97 MHz (Cellular TX),
869.04 MHz to 893.97 MHz (RX), 1850 MHz to 1909.95 MHz
(PCS TX), and 1930.05 MHz to 1989.95 MHz (RX) and employs
digital modulation techniques.
When you communicate with your Personal Communicator, the
system handling your call controls the power levels at which your
Personal Communicator transmits. The output power level
typically may vary over a range from 0.2 watts to .23 dBm in
cellular and PCS modes.
ExposureTo Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola Personal Communicator is designed to comply
with the following national and international standards and
guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy (EME):
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code
of Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992

11
Safety and General Information
• 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 (applicable to wireless phones
only)
To assure optimal Personal Communicator 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 Personal Communicator
Operation and EME Exposure
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the device and may violate FCC
regulations.
Do NOT hold the antenna when the Personal
Communicator is in use. Holding the antenna affects call

quality and may cause the device to operate at a higher power
level than needed.
Personal Communicator Operation
The Personal Communicator is is NOT intended to be
used as a handset device to be held to the ear.
When placing or receiving calls with the Personal Communicator,
use the device with a headset accessory or in speakerphone
mode (with the device positioned away from you, such as on a
tabletop or similar surface).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC/Health Canada RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a Personal Communicator on your body
when transmitting, always place the Personal Communicator 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.
Data Operation
When using any data feature of the Personal Communicator,
with or without an accessory cable, position the Personal
Communicator and its antenna at least one inch
(2.5 centimeters) from the body.

Safety and General Information
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 Personal Communicator 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 Personal Communicator
when on board an aircraft.Any use of a Personal Communicator
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 Personal
Communicator device and a pacemaker.These recommendations
are consistent with the independent research by, and
recommendations of, the United States Food and Drug
Administration.

Safety and General Information
14
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the Personal Communicator device more
than six inches (15 centimeters) from your pacemaker when
the Personal Communicator is turned ON.
• NOT carry the Personal Communicator device in the breast
pocket.
• turn OFF the Personal Communicator device immediately if
you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless Personal Communicators devices 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 wireless devices in
the area where you drive.Always obey them.
When using your Personal Communicator device while driving,
please:
• give full attention to driving and to the road.

15
Safety and General Information
• 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 VehiclesWith an Air Bag
Do not place a portable Personal Communicator device in the
area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags
inflate with great force. If a portable Personal Communicator is
placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates,
the Personal Communicator may be propelled with great force
and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your Personal Communicator prior to entering any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless the Personal
Communicator is a model specifically identified as being
“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.

Safety and General Information
16
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn OFF
your Personal Communicator 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 Personal Communicator device
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 touches 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.
