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’s 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.
