Specific Absorption Rate Data

This model wireless phone meets the government's
requirements for exposure to radio waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government
and by the Canadian regulatory authorities. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were
developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or
health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
set by the FCC and by the Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 W/kg.
for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
and by Industry Canada with the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at
the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the U.S. and Canada,
it must be tested and certified to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not
exceed the limit established by each government for safe exposure. The tests
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Your mobile device contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your mobile
device, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your
mobile device transmits.
Your Motorola mobile device is designed to comply with local regulatory
requirements in your country concerning exposure of human beings to RF
energy.

Operational Precautions

For optimal mobile device performance and to be sure that human exposure to
RF energy does not exceed the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards,
always follow these instructions and precautions.
External Antenna Care
If your mobile device has an external antenna, use only a Motorola-supplied or
approved replacement antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas, modifications,
or attachments could damage the mobile device and/or may result in your
device not complying with local regulatory requirements in your country.
DO NOT hold the external antenna when the mobile device is IN USE. Holding
the external antenna affects call quality and may cause the mobile device to
operate at a higher power level than needed.
Product Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your mobile device just like you
would a landline phone.
If you wear the mobile device on your body, always place the mobile device in
a Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness. If
you do not use a body-worn accessory supplied or approved by Motorola—or if
you hang your mobile device from a lanyard around your neck—keep the
are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)
reported to the FCC and available for review by Industry Canada. The highest
SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.08 W/kg,
and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.55 W/kg. The
SAR value for this product in its data transmission mode (body-worn use) is
0.31 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending
upon available accessories and regulatory requirements).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and
at various positions, they all meet the governmental requirements for safe
exposure. Please note that improvements to this product model could cause
differences in the SAR value for later products; in all cases, products are
designed to be within the guidelines.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site:
http://www.phonefacts.net
or the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) Web site:
http://www.cwta.ca
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the
1
public and to account for any variations in measurements.

mobile device and its antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body
when transmitting.
When using any data feature of the mobile device, with or without an
accessory cable, position the mobile device and its antenna at least
2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body.
Using accessories not supplied or approved by Motorola may cause your
mobile device to exceed RF energy exposure guidelines. For a list of
Motorola-supplied or approved accessories, visit our Web site at:

RF Energy Interference/Compatibility

Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy interference from
external sources if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured
for RF energy compatibility. In some circumstances your mobile device may
cause interference with other devices.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference
Problems
Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct you to
do so.
In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by
airline staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature,
consult airline staff about using it in flight.

Implantable Medical Devices

If you have an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or
defibrillator, consult your physician before using this mobile device.
Persons with implantable medical devices should observe the following
precautions:
• ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than 20 centimeters (8 inches) from
the implantable medical device when the mobile device is turned ON.
