Safety and General Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION. 
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR PHONE.
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety 
information in user guides published prior to December 1, 2002.
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 procedures.
External Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or Motorola-approved replacement antenna. 
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the 
phone.
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. In addition, use of 
unauthorized antennas may result in non-compliance with the local 
regulatory requirements in your country. 
						

							10
Phone Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone as you would a 
wireline telephone. 
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with RF energy exposure guidelines, if you wear a 
phone on your body when transmitting, always place the phone in a 
Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness 
for this phone, where 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 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) 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 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) 
from your body.
Approved Accessories
Use of accessories not approved by Motorola, including but not limited to 
batteries and antenna, may cause your phone to exceed RF energy 
exposure guidelines. For a list of approved Motorola accessories, visit our 
website at 
www.Motorola.com.
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.
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. 
						

							11
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your phone when on board an aircraft. 
Any use of a phone must be in accordance with applicable regulations per 
airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 
6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless 
phone and a pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers should:
ALWAYS keep the phone more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from 
your pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
NOT carry the phone in the breast pocket.
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize 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. 
						

							12
When using your phone while driving, please:
Give full attention to driving and to the road.
Use hands-free operation, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving 
conditions so require.
Responsible driving best practices may be found in the “Wireless Phone 
Safety Tips” at the end of this manual and at the Motorola website: 
www.Motorola.com/callsmart.
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.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive 
atmosphere, unless it is a phone type especially qualified for use in such 
areas and certified as “Intrinsically Safe.” 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. 
						

							13
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.
Batteries
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 quite hot. Exercise care in handling any 
charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or 
other container with metal objects. 
Use only Motorola original batteries 
and chargers.
Your battery or phone may contain symbols, defined as follows:
Seizures/Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when 
exposed to blinking lights, such as when watching television or playing 
video games. These seizures or blackouts may occur even if a person 
never had a previous seizure or blackout.
SymbolDefinition
Important safety information will follow.
Your battery or phone should not be disposed of in a 
fire.
Your battery or phone may require recycling in 
accordance with local laws. Contact your local 
regulatory authorities for more information.
Your battery or phone should not be thrown in the 
trash.
Your phone contains an internal lithium ion battery.

If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family 
history of such occurrences, please consult with your doctor before 
playing video games on your phone or enabling a blinking-lights feature 
on your phone. (The blinking-light feature is not available on all products.)
Parents should monitor their childrens use of video game or other 
features that incorporate blinking lights on the phones. All persons should 
discontinue use and consult a doctor if any of the following symptoms 
occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary 
movements, or disorientation.
To limit the likelihood of such symptoms, please take the following safety 
precautions:
Do not play or use a blinking-lights feature if you are tired or need 
sleep.
Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.
Play in a room in which all lights are on.
Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.
Repetitive Motion Injuries
When you play games on your phone, you may experience occasional 
discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your 
body. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as tendonitis, 
carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders:
Take a minimum 15-minute break every hour of game playing.
If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while playing, 
stop and rest for several hours before playing again.
If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during or after 
play, stop playing and see a doctor.

Your phone is designed to be used only with 
Motorola Original batteries and accessories. We 
recommend that you store batteries in their 
protective cases when not in use.
Charging the Battery
Before you can use your phone, fully charge the battery as 
follows. Some batteries perform best after several full 
charge/discharge cycles.
To Install the Battery
1
Remove the phone’s back cover as described in 
“Changing Your Phone’s Cover” on page 18.
2Remove the battery from its protective clear 
plastic case.
3Insert the battery, 
printed arrow first, 
under the tabs at 
the bottom of the 
battery 
compartment and 
push down.
4Replace the phone’s cover.  
						

							17
Getting Started
When you charge the battery, the battery level indicator in 
the upper right corner of the display shows how much of 
the charging process is complete. See “Battery Level 
Indicator” on page 23.
Battery Use
Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal 
objects to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.
 To maximize battery performance:
Always use Motorola Original™ battery chargers. The 
phone warranty does not cover damage caused from 
using non-Motorola battery chargers.
New batteries or batteries that have been stored for a 
long time may require a longer initial charge time.
Keep the battery at or near room temperature when 
charging.
To Charge the Battery
1
Plug the charger 
into the left jack 
on the bottom of 
your phone. 
2Plug the other end of the charger into the 
appropriate electrical outlet.
3When your phone indicates Charge Complete, 
remove the charger. 
						

							18
Getting Started
Do not expose batteries to temperatures below -10° C 
(14° F) or above 45° C (113° F). Always take your 
phone with you when you leave your vehicle.
When you do not intend to use a battery for a 
while, store it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place, 
such as a refrigerator.
Over time, batteries gradually wear down and require 
longer charging times. This is normal. If you charge 
your battery regularly and notice a decrease in talk 
time or an increase in charging time, then it is 
probably time to buy a new battery.
The rechargeable batteries that power this 
product must be disposed of properly and may 
need to be recycled. Refer to your battery’s label 
for battery type. Contact your local recycling center for 
proper disposal methods. Never dispose of batteries in a 
fire because they may explode.
