Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn OFF your phone when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted “Turn off electronic devices.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Batteries

Batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewellery, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, bag, or other container with metal objects. Use only Motorola original batteries and chargers.

A1000 specifications

The Motorola A1000, introduced in the early 2000s, marked a significant step forward in mobile technology with its innovative features and functionalities. As one of the first smartphones to integrate multimedia capabilities, the A1000 set a benchmark for future devices in the market.

First and foremost, the A1000 was designed around its large touchscreen display, measuring 3.5 inches with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. This vibrant screen not only allowed for better navigation through applications but also enabled users to enjoy multimedia content, making it one of the first devices to hint at the smartphone revolution. The touchscreen was complemented by a stylus, providing precision for tasks such as handwriting recognition.

The A1000 was powered by the Symbian OS, which facilitated the installation of third-party applications and offered a robust platform for mobile computing. This operating system provided users with the ability to organize contacts, manage schedules, and access a range of productivity tools. The device also featured a web browser, allowing users to connect to the internet and browse websites, a relatively novel feature at that time.

In terms of communication, the Motorola A1000 supported GPRS for data connectivity, enabling faster browsing and download speeds than traditional mobile phones. The device also included standard features like SMS, MMS, and email support, making it a versatile communication tool for users.

One of the standout characteristics of the A1000 was its impressive multimedia capabilities. It came equipped with a 1.0-megapixel camera, capable of taking decent photographs for the era, and allowed users to capture video clips. The device could also handle audio files, supporting formats like MP3, and included a media player that could playback music and videos.

The design of the A1000 was notable for its sleek form factor and included a flip mechanism, which was popular among contemporary phones. Its robust build quality and aesthetic design appealed to many users, ensuring that it stood out in a crowded marketplace.

Overall, the Motorola A1000 combined cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features, setting a precedent for future smartphones. It offered a glimpse into the future of mobile communication, blending traditional telephony with the capabilities of modern computing and multimedia entertainment, paving the way for the advanced smartphones we utilize today.
