Safety and General Information This section contains important information on the safe and efficient operation of your mobile device. Read this information before using your mobile device.1 Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Energy Your mobile device contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your mobile device, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your mobile device transmits.
Product Operation When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your mobile device just like you would a landline phone. If you wear the mobile device on your body, always place the mobile device in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness. If you do not use a body-worn accessory supplied or approved by Motorola, keep the mobile device and its antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body when transmitting.
Persons with implantable medical devices should observe the following precautions: 䢇 ALWAYS keep the phone more than 20 centimeters (8 inches) from the implantable medical device when the mobile vice is turned ON; 䢇 DO NOT carry the phone in a breast pocket; 䢇 Use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential for interference; 䢇 Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
䢇 䢇 Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. Do not place a mobile device in the airbag deployment area. Responsible driving practices can be found in the “Smart Practices While Driving” section of this guide (see page 220) and/ or at the Motorola Web site: www.motorola.com/callsmart. Note: The use of wireless phones while driving may cause distraction. Discontinue a call if you can't concentrate on driving.

FCC Notice To Users Motorola has not approved any changes or modifications to this device by the user. Any changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. See 47 CFR Sec. 15.21. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. See 47 CFR Sec. 15.
Hearing Aid Compatibility A number of Sprint Nextel phones have been tested for hearing aid compatibility. When some wireless phones are used with certain hearing aids, users may detect a noise which can interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing aid. Some hearing aids are more “immune” than others to this interference noise, and phones can also vary in the amount of interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.
“T” Rating: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing aid's telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the “better” or higher of the two ratings.) On those models with a telecoil mode setting, this rating is determined only with the phone so set. For setting instructions, see “Features for the Hearing Impaired” in the section entitled “Advanced Calling Features”. Note that not all hearing aids have telecoils in them.
Specific Absorption Rate Data This model wireless phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and by the Canadian regulatory authorities.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the U.S. and Canada, it must be tested and certified to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not exceed the limit established by each government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) reported to the FCC and available for review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.
Information From the World Health Organization Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If you are concerned, you may want to limit your own or your children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls or by using hands-free devices to keep mobile phones away from your head and body.

Wireless: The New Recyclable Your mobile device can be recycled. Recycling your mobile device reduces the amount of waste disposed in landfills and allows recycled materials to be incorporated into new products. The Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) and its members encourage consumers to recycle their mobile devices and have taken steps to promote the collection and environmentally sound recycling of end-of-life devices.
California Perchlorate Label Some mobile phones use an internal, permanent backup battery on the printed circuit board that may contain very small amounts of perchlorate. In such cases, California law requires the following label: “Perchlorate Material - special handling may apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.” There is no special handling required by consumers.
Privacy and Data Security Motorola understands that privacy and data security are important to everyone. Because some features of your mobile device may affect your privacy or data security, please follow these recommendations to enhance protection of your information: 䢇 Monitor access —Keep your mobile device with you and do not leave it where others may have unmonitored access. Lock your device’s keypad where this feature is available.
