Operational Precautions
For optimal mobile device performance, and to be sure that human exposure to RF
energy does not exceed the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always
follow these instructions and precautions.
Product Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your mobile device just like you would
a landline phone.
If you wear the mobile device on your body, always place the mobile device in a
Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness. If you do
not use a body-worn accessory supplied or approved by Motorola, keep the mobile
device and its antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body when
transmitting.
Using accessories not supplied or approved by Motorola may cause your mobile
device to exceed RF energy exposure guidelines. For a list of Motorola-supplied or
approved accessories, visit our Web site at: www.motorola.com.
RF Energy Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy interference from external
sources if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for RF energy
compatibility. In some circumstances, your mobile device may cause interference
with other devices.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems
Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct you to do
so.
In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline
staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult airline
staff about using it in flight.
Implantable Medical Devices
If you have an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator,
consult your physician before using this mobile device.
Persons with implantable medical devices should observe the following precautions:
• ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than 20 centimeters (8 inches) from the
implantable medical device when the mobile device is turned ON.
• DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential
for interference.
• Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical
device. If you have any questions about using your mobile device with your
implantable medical device, consult your healthcare provider.
Driving Precautions
Using a mobile device while driving may cause distraction. End a call if you can’t
concentrate on driving. Input information about your destination and route prior to
your drive. Do not input data or engage in text messaging while driving. Keep your
eyes on the road while driving. Listen to the audible turn-by-turn directions, if
available.
Also, using a mobile device or accessory may be prohibited or restricted in certain
areas. Always obey the laws and regulations on the use of these products.

(in English only).
Operational Warnings
Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in public areas.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, posted and
can include fueling areas, such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, or areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain dust, or metal powders.
When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile device, and do not remove,
install, or charge batteries. In such areas, sparks can occur and cause an explosion
or fire.
