Introduction
Safety Information (US Version)
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, engi-
neers, 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 fre-
quency 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.
