Safety and General  
Information  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT  
OPERATION. READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR  
PHONE.  
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  
is capable of transmitting in the frequency ranges of 880 MHz to  
915 MHz, 1710 MHz to 1785 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 1.70 watts in digital mode for the 900MHz  
band, 0.0 watts to 0.84 watts in digital mode for the 1800MHz  
band, and 0.0 watts to 0.84 watts in digital mode for the  
1900MHz 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 (EME):  
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code  
of Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J  
12  
 
Safety and General Information  
• 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  
13  
Safety and General Information  
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 a body-worn accessory, and are not holding the  
phone in the normal use position at the ear, 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.

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.  
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  
15  
Safety and General Information  
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 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.  
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  
UseWhile Driving  
Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the area  
where you drive. Always obey them.  
16  
Safety and General Information  
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  
ForVehiclesWith 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 the phone 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  
17  
Safety and General Information  
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.
