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, if 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 antennas, 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.

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. 
						

							 
11
When using your phone while driving, please:
Give full attention to driving and to the road.
Use handsfree 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. 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.
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. 
						

							 
12
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 flashing 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.
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 flashing-lights feature 
on your phone. (The flashing-light feature is not available on all products.)

battery as described below. Some batteries perform best 
after several full charge/discharge cycles. 
Tip: You can safely leave the travel charger connected to 
the phone after charging is complete. This will 
not damage 
the battery.
Battery Use
Battery performance depends on many factors, including 
your wireless carrier’s network configuration; signal 
strength; the temperature at which you operate your 
phone; the features and/or settings you select and use; 
items attached to the phone’s accessory connector port; 
and your voice, data, and other application usage patterns.
Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal 
objects to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.

Getting Started
To maximize your battery’s performance:
Always use Motorola Original batteries and battery 
chargers. The phone warranty does not cover 
damage caused from using non-Motorola batteries 
and/or battery chargers.
New batteries or batteries that have been stored 
for a long time may require a longer charge time.
Maintain the battery at or near room temperature 
when charging.
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 purchase a new battery.
The rechargeable batteries that power this 
phone 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.
