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 the 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
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.
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact
with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a
higher power level than otherwise needed.
Batteries
Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury, or burns if a
conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches exposed
terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and become quite
hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling
any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or
other container with metal objects. When the battery is detached from the
phone, your batteries are packed with a protective battery cover; please use
this cover for storing your batteries when not in use.
