awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation. It is
always a good idea to hold the screen away from your eyes,
leave the lights on in the room, take a 15-minute break every
hour, and stop use if you are very tired.

Caution About High Volume Usage

To protect your hearing:
䢇Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at
high volume.
䢇Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
䢇Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking
near you.
If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of
pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears, or
muffled speech, you should stop listening to the device through
your headset or headphones and have your hearing checked.

Repetitive Motion

When you repetitively perform actions such as pressing keys or
entering finger-written characters, you may experience
occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or
other parts of your body. If you continue to have discomfort
during or after such use, stop use and see a physician.
Battery Use and Safety

DON’Ts

䢇Don’t disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or otherwise
attempt to change the form of your battery.
䢇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.
䢇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.
WARNING: Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended
periods of time may affect your hearing. The louder
the volume sound level, the less time is required
before your hearing could be affected. 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.
