Safety and General Information
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
published 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 capability.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject 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 range of 824
MHz to 849 MHz and 1850 MHz to 1910 MHz in digital
mode.
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 0.0 watts to 1.0 watts for the 800 MHz
C330.UG.book Page 8 Thursday, September 5, 2002 11:25 AM

Safety and General Information
band, and 0.0 watts to 1.0 watts for the 1900 MHz band in
digital mode.
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 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
• Australian Communications Authority
Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic
Radiation-Human Exposure) Standard 1999
C330.UG.book Page 9 Thursday, September 5, 2002 11:25 AM

10
Safety and General Information
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
one of the Motorola-supplied or approved body-worn
accessories, and are not using the phone held in the
C330.UG.book Page 10 Thursday, September 5, 2002 11:25 AM

11
Safety and General Information
normal use position, ensure the phone and its antenna
are at least one inch (2.5 cm) 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 one inch (2.5 centimeters) 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.
C330.UG.book Page 11 Thursday, September 5, 2002 11:25 AM

Safety and General Information
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:
• 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 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.
C330.UG.book Page 12 Thursday, September 5, 2002 11:25 AM

13
Safety and General 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
For Vehicles 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
C330.UG.book Page 13 Thursday, September 5, 2002 11:25 AM

14
Safety and General Information
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 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.
