Safety and General Information

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION.

READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR PHONE.

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 instructions.

External Antenna Care

If your phone has an external antenna, use only the supplied or

Motorola-approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,

modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and/or may result

in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.

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.

Phone Operation

When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone as you would a

wireline phone.
