your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
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. Using a phone may be
distracting in certain circumstances. Discontinue a call if you can’t
concentrate on driving.
• Use handsfree 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 phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a 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.
Gas or Petrol Stations
Obey all posted signs with respect to the use of radio equipment in gas or
petrol stations. Turn off your wireless device if instructed by authorized
staff.
13 Safety Information
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. 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. 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 electronic devices.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Damaged Products
If your phone or battery has been submerged in water, punctured, or
subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you take it to a Motorola
Authorized Service Center to determine if it has been damaged. Do not
attempt to dry it with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven.
Batteries and Chargers
Batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a
conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed
terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short
circuit) and become hot. Take care when handling a charged battery,
particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with
metal objects. Use only Motorola Original™ batteries and chargers.
Caution: To avoid risk of personal injury, do not dispose of your battery in a
fire.
