Safety Information
IMPORTANT
Read this information before using
your wireless handheld phone.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld
wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies:
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE.
C95. 1-1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement
(NCRP). Report 86
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over
120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available
body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and
those standards). For additional information concerning exposure
to radio frequency signals, see the statement by the FDA at the
end of this user guide.
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you
wear a handset on your body, use the Motorola-supplied or
approved carrying case, holster, or other body-worn accessory. If
you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at
least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when
transmitting. Use of non-Motorola accessories may violate FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
Normal Operation
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the
antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation
Observe the following guidelines to operate your phone most
efficiently.
• Extend your antenna fully, if applicable.
