Battery Use & Safety

Important: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or

damage. Most battery issues arise from improper handling of batteries, and particularly from the continued use of damaged batteries.

DON’Ts

Don’t disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or otherwise attempt to change the form of your battery.

Don’t let the phone or battery come in contact with water. Water can get into the phone’s circuits, leading to corrosion. If the phone and/or battery get wet, have them checked by your carrier or contact Motorola, even if they appear to be working properly.

Don’t allow the battery to touch metal objects. If metal objects, such as jewelry, stay in prolonged contact with the battery contact points, the battery could become very hot.

Don’t place your battery near a heat source. Excessive heat can damage the phone or the battery. High temperatures can cause the battery to swell, leak, or malfunction.Therefore:

Do not dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.

Avoid leaving your phone in your car in high temperatures.

DOs

Do avoid dropping the battery or phone. Dropping these items, especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause damage.

Do contact your service provider or Motorola if your phone or battery has been damaged from dropping or high temperatures.

Important: Use products provided by Motorola box set for quality assurance and safeguards.

NOTE: Some mobile phones may contain a non Motorola-branded battery when purchased. Those batteries are designed for use with your phone. If a replacement is needed, only the type and model that came with your phone are recommended for use Please contact authorized dealer for any enquiries.

Important: Refer to Motorola's warranty for details of coverage and exclusions.

Warning: Use of an improper battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.

Proper and safe battery disposal and recycling: Proper battery disposal is not

only important for safety, it benefits the environment. Consumers may recycle their used batteries in many retail or service provider locations.Additional information on proper disposal and recycling may be found on the Web:

www.motorola.com/recycling

www.rbrc.org/call2recycle/ (in English only)

Disposal: Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local

032375o

regulations. Contact your local recycling center or national recycling organizations for more information on how to dispose of batteries. Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.

Battery Charging

Notes for charging your phone’s battery:

When charging your battery, keep it near room temperature.

Never expose batteries to temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F) when charging.

New batteries are not fully charged.

New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge.

Specific Absorption Rate

Your model wireless phone meets international guidelines for exposure to radio waves.

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed to not exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in measurements.

The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobile devices used by the general public is 2 watts per kilogram (W/kg), and the highest SAR value for this mobile device when tested at the ear is 1.24W/kg.As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in this guide. In this case, the highest tested SAR value is 1.26 W/kg.The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for testing. The SAR information includes the Motorola testing protocol, assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this product.

As SAR is measured utilizing the mobile device’s highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of this mobile device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the mobile device to ensure it only uses the minimum level required to reach the network.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various mobile devices and at various positions, they meet the governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements to this product model could cause differences in the SAR value for later products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the guidelines.

The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices.They note that if you want to reduce your exposure, then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a handsfree device to keep the mobile device away from the head and body.

Additional Information can be found on the Web sites of the World Health

Organization (http://www.who.int/emf) or Motorola, Inc. (http://www.motorola.com/rfhealth).

Smart Practices While Driving

Drive Safe, Call Smart

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and their 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. 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 and redial. If available, these features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the road.

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).

Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress, or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency number (wherever wireless phone service is available), as you would want others to do for you.

Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number (wherever wireless phone service is available).
