10 Safety Information
Safety and General Information
Safety Information IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND
EFFICIENT OPERATION. READ THIS
INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR
PHONE. 1
Exposure To Radio Frequency (RF)
Energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
transmits RF energy. When you communicate
with your phone, the system handling your
call controls the power level at which your
phone transmits.
Your Motorola phone is designed to comply
with local regulatory requirements in your
country concerning exposure of human
beings to RF energy.
Operational Precautions
To assure optimal phone performance and
make sure human exposure to RF energy is
within the guidelines set forth in the relevant
standards, always adhere to the following
instructions.
External Antenna Care
If your phone has an external antenna, use
only the supplied or Motorola-approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorised
antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the phone and/or may result in
non-compliance with local regulatory
requirements in your country.
11 Safety Information
Do NOT hold the external antenna when the
phone is IN USE. Holding the external
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 fixed line phone.
Body-Worn Operation: Voice
Communication
To maintain compliance with RF energy
exposure guidelines, if you wear a phone on
your body when transmitting voice
communications, always place the phone in a
Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder,
holster, case, or body harness for this phone,
if available. Use of accessories not approved
by Motorola may exceed RF energy exposure
guidelines.
If you do not use one of the body-worn
accessories approved or supplied by
Motorola, and are not using the phone held in
the normal use position, ensure the phone
and its antenna are at least 2.5 centimetres
(1 inch) 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
2.5 centimetres (1 inch) from your body.
Approved Accessories
Use of accessories not approved by Motorola,
including but not limited to batteries,
antennas, and convertible covers, may cause
your phone to exceed RF energy exposure
guidelines. For a list of approved Motorola
accessories, visit our website at

12 Safety Information
RF Energy Interference/
Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is
susceptible to RF energy interference from
external sources if inadequately shielded,
designed, or otherwise configured for RF
energy compatibility. In some circumstances
your phone may cause interference.
Note: 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.
Facilities
Turn off your phone in any facility where
posted notices instruct you to do so. These
facilities may include hospitals or health care
facilities that may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft
Turn off your wireless device whenever
instructed to do so by airline staff. If your
device offers a flight mode or similar feature,
consult airline staff about use in flight. If your
device offers a feature that automatically
turns on the phone, then turn off this feature
before boarding an aeroplane or entering an
area where the use of wireless devices is
restricted.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum separation of 15 centimetres
(6 inches) be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than
15 centimetres (6 inches) from your
pacemaker when the phone is turned
ON.
13 Safety Information
• NOT carry the phone in the breast
pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimise 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.
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.
• Always use handsfree operation.
• Pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
Responsible driving best practices can be
found in the “Wireless Phone Safety Tips” at
the end of this guide and/or at the Motorola
website: www.motorola.com/callsmart.
