that may cause undesired operation of the device. See RSS-GEN 7.1.5. This Class B
digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Location Services (GPS & AGPS)
The following information is applicable to Motorola mobile devices that provide
GPS & AGPS
location based (GPS and/or AGPS) functionality.
Your mobile device may use Global Positioning System (GPS) signals for
location-based applications. GPS uses satellites controlled by the U.S. government
that are subject to changes implemented in accordance with the Department of
Defense policy and the Federal Radio Navigation Plan. These changes may affect
the performance of location technology on your mobile device.
Your mobile device may 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.
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
Driving Safety
accessories 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.
Note: Voice call features may not be available on all products.
Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data—almost anywhere,
anytime, wherever wireless connection 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 voice
commands and "read out loud" features. If available, these features help
you to use your device 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 a 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 information while driving. Jotting down a "to
do" list or going through your address book takes attention away from your
primary responsibility—driving safely.
• 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, use features
such as voice commands, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
