Motorola Droid 3 Manual

Your mobile device can use Global Positioning System (GPS) signals for location-based 
applications. GPS uses satellites controlled by the U.S. government that are subject to 
changes implemented in accordance with the Department of Defense policy and the 
Federal Radio Navigation Plan. These changes may affect the performance of location 
technology on your mobile device.
Your mobile device can also use Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS), which 
obtains information from the cellular network to improve GPS performance. AGPS uses 
your wireless service providers network and therefore airtime, data charges, and/or 
additional charges may apply in accordance with your service plan. Contact your wireless 
service provider for details.Your LocationLocation-based information includes information that can be used to determine the 
approximate location of a mobile device. Mobile devices which are connected to a 
wireless network transmit location-based information. Devices enabled with GPS or AGPS 
technology also transmit location-based information. Additionally, if you use applications 
that require location-based information (e.g. driving directions), such applications transmit 
location-based information. This location-based information may be shared with third 
parties, including your wireless service provider, applications providers, Motorola, and 
other third parties providing services.Emergency CallsWhen 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:
Always tell the emergency responder your location to the best of your ability; andRemain on the phone for as long as the emergency responder instructs you.NavigationNav igationThe following information is applicable to Motorola mobile devices that provide 
navigation features.
When using navigation features, note that mapping information, directions and other 
navigational data may contain inaccurate or incomplete data. In some countries, complete 
information may not be available. Therefore, you should visually confirm that the 
navigational instructions are consistent with what you see. All drivers should pay attention to road conditions, closures, traffic, and all other factors that may impact driving. 
Always obey posted road signs.
Smart Practices While DrivingDriving SafetyCheck the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and their 
accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these 
devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas—for example, 
handsfree use only may be required. Go to 
www.motorola.com/callsmart
 
(in English only) for more information.
Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data—almost anywhere, anytime, 
wherever wireless service is available and safe conditions allow. When driving a car, 
driving is your first responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device while driving, 
remember the following tips: Get to know your Motorola mobile device and its features such as speed dial, 
redial and voice dial. 
If available, these features help you to place your call without 
taking your attention off the road.
 When available, use a handsfree device. 
If possible, add an additional layer of 
convenience to your mobile device with one of the many Motorola Original handsfree 
accessories available today.
 Position your mobile device within easy reach. 
Be able to access your mobile 
device without removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an 
inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.
 Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, 
suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. 
Rain, sleet, 
snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
 Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. 
Jotting down a “to 
do” list or going through your address book takes attention away from your primary 
responsibility—driving safely.
 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when your car is 
not moving or before pulling into traffic. 
If you must make a call while moving, dial 
only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be 
distracting. 
Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend 
conversations that can divert your attention away from the road. 
						

							60 Use your mobile device to call for help. 
Dial 911 or other local emergency number  
in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies (wherever wireless phone service is available). Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies. 
If you see an auto 
accident, crime in progress, or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency number (wherever wireless phone service is available),  as you would want others to do for you. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance  number when necessary. 
If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious  
hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured,  or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number (wherever wireless phone service is available).Privacy & Data SecurityPrivac y & Data  SecurityMotorola understands that privacy and data security are important to everyone. Because some features of your mobile device may affect your privacy or data security, please  follow these recommendations to enhance protection of your information: Monitor access
—Keep your mobile device with you and do not leave it where others  
may have unmonitored access. Use your device’s security and lock features, where  available. Keep software up to date
—If Motorola or a software/application vendor releases a  
patch or software fix for your mobile device that updates the device’s security, install it  as soon as possible. Secure Personal Information
—Your mobile device can store personal information  
in various locations including your SIM card, memory card, and phone memory. Be sure  to remove or clear all personal information before you recycle, return, or give away  your device. You can also backup your personal data to transfer to a new device.Note: 
For information on how to backup or wipe data from your mobile device, go to 
www.motorola.com/support Online accounts
—Some mobile devices provide a Motorola online account (such as 
MOTOBLUR). Go to your account for information on how to manage the account, and  how to use security features such as remote wipe and device location (where  available). Applications and updates
—Choose your apps and updates carefully, and install  
from trusted sources only. Some apps can impact your phone’s performance and/or  
have access to private information including account details, call data, location details  and network resources. Wireless
—For mobile devices with Wi-Fi features, only connect to trusted Wi-Fi  
networks. Also, when using your device as a hotspot (where available) use network  security. These precautions will help prevent unauthorized access to your device. Location-based information
—Location-based information includes information that  
can be used to determine the approximate location of a mobile device. Mobile phones  which are connected to a wireless network transmit location-based information. Devices enabled with GPS or AGPS technology also transmit location-based  information. Additionally, if you use applications that require location-based  information (e.g. driving directions), such applications transmit location-based information. This location-based information may be shared with third parties,  including your wireless service provider, applications providers, Motorola, and other  third parties providing services. Other information your device may transmit
—Your device may also transmit  
testing and other diagnostic (including location-based) information, and other  non-personal information to Motorola or other third-party servers. This information is  used to help improve products and services offered by Motorola. If you have further questions regarding how the use of your mobile device may impact your privacy or data security, please contact Motorola at

RecyclingRecyclingMobile Devices & AccessoriesPlease do not dispose of mobile devices or electrical accessories (such as chargers, headsets, or batteries) with your household waste, or in a fire.  These items should be disposed of in accordance with the national collection and recycling schemes operated by your local or regional authority.  Alternatively, you may return unwanted mobile devices and electrical accessories to any  Motorola Approved Service Center in your region. Details of Motorola approved national recycling schemes, and further information on Motorola recycling activities can be found  at: www.motorola.com/recycling 
Packaging & Product GuidesProduct packaging and product guides should only be disposed of in accordance with  national collection and recycling requirements. Please contact your regional authorities for more details.California Perchlorate LabelPe rchl orate L abelSome mobile phones use an internal, permanent backup battery on the printed circuit board that may contain very small amounts of perchlorate. In such cases, California law requires the following label: Perchlorate Material – special handling may apply when the battery is recycled or  disposed of. See 
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate
There is no special handling required by consumers.Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile  PhonesHeari ng Aid Compatibi litySome Motorola phones are measured for compatibility with hearing aids. If the box for  your particular model has “Rated for Hearing Aids” printed on it, the following explanation applies. When some mobile phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear  implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the  amount of interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing  devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their  box or a label on the box. To maintain the published Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) rating for this mobile phone, use only the original equipment battery model. This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless  technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try  the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your  hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Contact your service provider or Motorola for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have  questions about return or exchange policies, contact your service provider or phone  retailer. 
						

							62The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device 
and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may 
not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing 
device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.M-Ratings:
 Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate 
less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the 
better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings:
 Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable 
with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. 
T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils 
in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your 
hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for 
your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to 
experience interference noise from mobile phones.
