Radio Navigation Plan. These changes may affect the performance of location technology on
your mobile device.
Your mobile device can also use Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS), which obtains
information from the cellular network to improve GPS performance. AGPS uses your wireless
service provider's network and therefore airtime, data charges, and/or additional charges
may apply in accordance with your service plan. Contact your wireless service provider for
details.

Your Location

Location-based information includes information that can be used to determine the
approximate location of a mobile device. Mobile devices which are connected to a wireless
network transmit location-based information. Devices enabled with GPS or AGPS technology
also transmit location-based information. Additionally, if you use applications that require
location-based information (e.g. driving directions), such applications transmit location-based
information. This location-based information may be shared 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 cellular 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
The following information is applicable to Motorola mobile devices that provide navigation Navigation
features.
When using navigation features, note that mapping information, 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.

Smart Practices While Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and their accessories
Driving Safety
in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may be
prohibited or restricted in certain areas—for example, handsfree use only may be
required. Go to www.motorola.com/callsmart (in English only) for more
information.
Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data—almost anywhere, anytime,
wherever wireless service is available and safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving
is your first responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device while driving, remember
the following tips:
• Get to know your Motorola mobile device and its features such as speed dial,
redial and voice dial. If available, these features help you to place your call without
taking your attention off the road.
• When available, use a handsfree device. If possible, add an additional layer of
convenience to your mobile device with one of the many Motorola Original handsfree
accessories available today.
• Position your mobile device within easy reach. Be able to access your mobile
device without removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an
inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.
• Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a "to do"
list or going through your address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility—driving safely.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when your car is not
moving or before pulling into traffic. If you must make a call while moving, dial only a
few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.
Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that
can divert your attention away from the road.
• Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or other local emergency number in
the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies (wherever wireless phone
service is available).
