Software Notices
Warning against unlocking the bootloader or altering a product's operating system
software: Motorola strongly recommends against altering a product's operating system, which
includes unlocking the bootloader, rooting a device or running any operating software other than the
approved versions issued by Motorola and its partners. Such alterations may permanently damage
your product, cause your product to be unsafe and/or cause your product to malfunction. In such
cases, neither the product nor any damage resulting therefore will be covered by warranty.
Important FCC information: You must not make or enable any changes to the product that will
impact its FCC grant of equipment authorization. The FCC grant is based on the product's emission,
modulation, and transmission characteristics, including: power levels, operating frequencies and
bandwidths, SAR levels, duty-cycle, transmission modes (e.g., CDMA, GSM), and intended method
of using the product (e.g., how the product is held or used in proximity to the body). A change to any
of these factors will invalidate the FCC grant. It is illegal to operate a transmitting product without a
valid grant.
Location Services
Motorola mobile devices can provide information about their approximate location to applications,
using sources including GPS, AGPS, and Wi-Fi. GPS (Global Positioning System) uses
government-operated satellites that are subject to changes implemented in accordance with
Department of Defense policy and the Federal Radio Navigation Plan. These changes may affect
the performance of location technology on your mobile device. AGPS (Assisted Global Positioning
System) uses your wireless service provider’s network to improve GPS performance. Airtime, data
fees, and/or additional charges may apply in accordance with your service plan. Contact your
wireless service provider for details. Your mobile device can also use Wi-Fi signals to determine your
approximate location, using information from known and available Wi-Fi networks.
Mobile devices transmit location-based information when connected to a wireless network or when
using other location technologies like GPS. If you use applications that require location-based
information such as driving directions, your mobile device will provide location information to them.
These applications may share location information with third parties, including your wireless service
provider, applications providers, Motorola, and other third parties providing services.
Emergency Calls
When you make an emergency call, the cellular network may activate the AGPS technology in your
mobile device to tell the emergency responders your approximate location.
AGPS has limitations and might not work in your area. Therefore:
n
Always tell the emergency responder your location to the best of your ability; and
n
Remain on the phone for as long as the emergency responder instructs you.
