Safety Information

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992)*

NCRP Report 86 (1986)*

ICNIRP (1996)*

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

Normal Position:

Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

Tips on Efficient Operation:

For your phone to operate most efficiently:

Extend your antenna fully.

Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.

K1m specifications

The Motorola K1m, a member of the popular RAZR family, emerged as a stylish flip phone that captured attention in the mid-2000s. Noted for its sleek design, the K1m offered a blend of functionality and aesthetics that appealed to a wide range of users. One of its most striking features was its ultra-thin profile, measuring just 0.5 inches in thickness, distinguishing it in an era where bulkiness was more common.

At the core of the K1m's appeal was its vibrant 2.2-inch display, offering a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels. This screen showcased not only the phone's user interface but also vibrant images and videos, enhancing the overall multimedia experience. The external display, although smaller, provided essential information such as incoming calls, battery life, and signal strength without needing to open the phone.

The K1m was equipped with a 1.3-megapixel camera, allowing users to capture moments on the go. While the camera did not boast advanced features compared to modern standards, it was adequate for casual photography, supporting basic photo editing features and the ability to record video. The phone also supported video playback, making it a convenient device for media consumption, albeit with limited storage capacity.

Connectivity was another crucial aspect of the Motorola K1m. It operated on CDMA technology, providing reliable network performance. The device supported various messaging options, including SMS and MMS, allowing users to stay connected with ease. Bluetooth technology also added to its convenience, enabling hands-free communication and the transfer of files between devices.

One of the K1m’s standout characteristics was its battery life. With a talk time of up to 4 hours and a standby time of roughly 10 days, the K1m was designed to handle long periods of usage without frequent recharging. This made it particularly appealing to users who were frequently on the move.

In addition to its technical specifications, the Motorola K1m featured a robust keypad, enhancing the overall user experience. The keys were well-spaced and easy to press, making typing messages and navigating the interface smooth and efficient.

In conclusion, the Motorola K1m exemplified the blend of style and function. With its sleek design, multimedia capabilities, and long battery life, it carved out a niche in the competitive mobile phone market of its time. While modern smartphones have since overshadowed its capabilities, the K1m remains a nostalgic representation of early mobile technology.
