Safety and General
Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION.
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USINGYOUR 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 ranges 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 levels at which your phone transmits.The output power
level typically may vary over a range from 0.0 watts to 0.87 watts in digital
mode for the 850 MHz band, and 0.00 watts to 0.87 watts in digital mode
for the 1900 MHz band.
ExposureTo 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:

7
• 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
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.

8
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 normal use position,
ensure the phone and its antenna are at least one inch
(2.5 centimeters) 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 your body.
Approved Accessories

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.
