Motorola has not approved any changes or modifications to this device by the user. Any
changes or modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. See 47
CFR Sec. 15.21.
For products that support Wi-Fi 802.11a (as defined in product information): Outside the
United States, do not use your device outdoors while connected to an 802.11a Wi-Fi network.
The FCC prohibits such outdoor use since frequencies 5.15-5.25 GHz can cause
interference with Mobile Satellite Services (MSS). Public Wi-Fi access points in this range are
optimised for indoor use.
Software notices
Software notices Warning against unlocking the bootloader or altering a product's operating system
software: Motorola strongly recommends that you do not alter a product's operating system,
which includes unlocking the bootloader, rooting a device or running any operating software
other than the approved versions issued by Motorola and its partners. Such alterations may
permanently damage your product, cause your product to be unsafe and/or cause your
product to malfunction. In such cases, neither the product nor any damage resulting
therefrom will be covered by warranty.
Important FCC information: you must not make or enable any changes to the product that
will impact its FCC grant of equipment authorisation. The FCC grant is based on the
product's emission, modulation and transmission characteristics, including: power levels,
operating frequencies and bandwidths, SAR levels, duty-cycle, transmission modes (e.g.
CDMA, GSM) and intended method of using the product (e.g. how the product is held or
used in proximity to the body). A change to any of these factors will invalidate the FCC grant.
It is illegal to operate a transmitting product without a valid grant.

Location services

Motorola mobile devices can provide information about their approximate location to
Location
applications, using sources including GPS, AGPS and Wi-Fi. GPS (Global Positioning System)
uses government-operated satellites that are subject to changes implemented in accordance
with Department of Defense policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. These changes
may affect the performance of location technology on your mobile device. AGPS (Assisted
Global Positioning System) uses your wireless service provider's network to improve GPS
performance. Airtime, data fees and/or additional charges may apply in accordance with
your service plan. Contact your wireless service provider for details. Your mobile device can
also use Wi-Fi signals to determine your approximate location, using information from known
and available Wi-Fi networks.
Mobile devices transmit location-based information when connected to a wireless network
or when using other location technologies such as GPS. If you use applications that require
location-based information such as driving directions, your mobile device will provide
location information to them. These applications may share location information with third
parties, including your wireless service provider, applications providers, Motorola and other
third parties providing services.
Emergency calls
When you make an emergency call, the mobile network may activate the AGPS technology
in your mobile device to tell the emergency responders your approximate location.
AGPS has limitations and might not work in your area. Therefore:
• Always tell the emergency responder your location to the best of your ability; and
• Remain on the phone for as long as the emergency responder instructs you.
Navigation
If your Motorola mobile device provides navigation features, note that mapping information, Navigation
directions and other navigational data may contain inaccurate or incomplete data. In some
countries, complete information may not be available. Therefore, you should visually confirm
that the navigational instructions are consistent with what you see. All drivers should pay
attention to road conditions, closures, traffic and all other factors that may impact driving.
Always obey posted road signs.
Privacy & data security
Motorola understands that privacy and data security are important to everyone. Given that Privacy & data security
some features of your mobile device may affect your privacy or data security, please follow
these recommendations to enhance protection of your information:
• Monitor access: keep your mobile device with you and don't leave it where others may
have unmonitored access. Use your device's security and lock features, where available.
• Keep software up to date: if Motorola or a software/application vendor releases a patch
or software fix for your mobile device that updates the device's security, install it as soon
as possible.
• Secure personal information: your mobile device can store personal information in
various locations, including your SIM card, memory card and phone memory. Make sure
you remove or clear all personal information before you recycle, return or give away your
device. You can also back up your personal data to transfer to a new device.
Note: for information on how to back up or wipe data from your mobile device, go to
www.motorola.com/support
• Online accounts: some mobile devices provide a Motorola online account. Go to your
account for information on how to manage the account and how to use security features such
as remote wipe and device location (where available).
• Applications and updates: choose your apps and updates carefully, and install from
trusted sources only. Some apps can affect your mobile device's performance and/or
have access to private information including account details, call data, location details
and network resources.
• Wireless: for mobile devices with Wi-Fi features, only connect to trusted Wi-Fi networks.
Also, when using your device as a hotspot (where available), use network security. These
precautions will help prevent unauthorised access to your device.
