Regulations And Precautions - Motorola ST8600 Manual

Regulations and Precautions

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission and the Canadian Department of
Communications regulate cellular radiotelephone service in their respective countries. It
is important for you, the cellular radiotelephone user, to observe the applicable regula-
tions when operating your cellular phone in either country. In addition to these U.S.
and Canadian federal regulations, you may also be bound by certain state, provincial,
territorial, and local rules and regulations, as well as by your cellular service provider's
tariff (the rates, terms, and conditions of its service). If you wish to use your cellular
radiotelephone in both the U.S. and Canada, please consult with your system operator.
You should remember that your cellular telephone is a radiotelephone, i.e., it combines
both landline technology, as used in your home or office telephone system, and radio
technology—and that the scope of regulations and precautions is therefore broader
than the scope of regulations and precautions relating to landline-only usage.
Some of the major points of consideration are set out below. Please note, however, that
this 'Regulations and Precautions' section does not constitute legal advice and is
intended merely for general information purposes. If you have any specific questions,
please contact your cellular service provider.
License If your home system is in the U.S., you do not require a separate license to
operate your cellular radiotelephone. Obtaining a cellular telephone access number is
sufficient to register you as a user. If your home system is in Canada, a separate license
is required. Your carrier will assist you in the licensing process. If you wish to use your
cellular telephone in both the U.S. and Canada, please contact your cellular
service provider.
Denial of Service A cellular service provider may deny service temporarily or
terminate service for violation of any governmental regulations or its tariff.
Magnetic Storage Media Your phone contains a magnet. Do not place your phone
in close proximity to magnetic storage media such as diskettes or credit cards for
extended periods of time.
Driving Some jurisdictions prohibit your using a cellular telephone while driving a
vehicle. Even if your jurisdiction does not have such a law, we strongly suggest that, for
safety reasons, the driver use extreme caution when operating the cellular telephone
while the vehicle is in motion (see page 9).
