Section 4A: Important Safety Information

Seizures/Blackouts

Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when
exposed to flashing lights, such as when playing video games. These may
occur even if a person has never had a previous seizure or blackout.

If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family
history of such occurrences, please consult with your physician before
playing video games or enabling a flashing-lights feature (if available) on
your mobile device.

Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the following symptoms
occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary
movements, or disorientation. It is always a good idea to hold the screen
away from your eyes, leave the lights on in the room, take a 15-minute
break every hour, and stop use if you are very tired.

Repetitive Motion

When you repetitively perform actions such as pressing keys or entering
finger-written characters, you may experience occasional discomfort in
your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If you
continue to have discomfort during or after such use, stop use and see a
physician.

Hearing Aid Compatibility With Mobile
Phones

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 more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference
they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their
mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may
be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.
Phones that are 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
vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone
