Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a cellular telephone from Motorola, the world leader in cellular
technology.
All Motorola cellular telephones are manufactured to exacting specifications and world-class quality
standards, and are designed to withstand the harshest environmental conditions. Our commitment to
Total Customer Satisfaction and over sixty five years of experience in personal communications mean you
can depend upon the quality of this Motorola product.
This cellular telephone incorporates Personality™. Unique to Motorola, Personality™ removes the
complexity of cellular communications by guiding you through the features and presenting you with
simple choices every step of the way. Personality™ also allows you to personalise the way you use your
phone - for example, different ringer tones, a phone book and network selection preferences - all
presented with clarity and simplicity. In this manual, each of the Personality™ features is identified with
an
O symbol to indicate that it is customisable to meet your requirements.
This cellular telephone has been designed for use with the worldwide GSM (Global System for Mobile
communications) network. By using digital communications methods, your phone provides a number of
advantages over traditional cellular systems:
• Superior speech quality is attained without the usual background noises and interference.
• Your conversation may be encrypted for security. Conversations cannot be eavesdropped using
scanning equipment when the signal is encrypted.
• You are not restricted to use within one country.
Your subscriber number is not contained within the phone as with other systems. Instead, a 'Smart Card'
known as a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is supplied by your Cellular Service Provider. All call billing is
made to the subscriber number on the card whether it is used in this or any other GSM unit.
