Battery Use & Battery Safety
•
Motorola recommends you
always use Motorola-branded
batteries and chargers. The
warranty does not cover
damage caused by non-
Motorola batteries and/or
chargers. Caution: Use of an
unqualified battery or charger
may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other
hazard. Improper battery use, or
use of a damaged battery, may
result in a fire, explosion, or
other hazard.

following steps:
•
Remove the battery and
inspect it to confirm that it

•
•
When storing your battery, keep
it in a cool, dry place.
It is normal over time for battery
life to decrease, and for the
battery to exhibit shorter runtime
between charges or require more
frequent or longer charging
times.
•
•
•
If there is no hologram, the
battery is not a qualified
battery;
If there is a hologram,
replace the battery and retry
charging it;
•
Avoid damage to battery and
mobile device. Do not
disassemble, open, crush, bend,
deform, puncture, shred, or
submerge the battery or mobile
device. Avoid dropping the
battery or mobile device,
especially on a hard surface. If
your battery or mobile device has
been subjected to such

When using your radio product
as a traditional two-way radio,
hold the radio product in a
vertical position with the
microphone one to two inches
(2.5 to 5 cm) away from the lips.
Operational Precautions
To assure optimal radio product performance and
to be sure that human exposure to RF does not
exceed the guidelines set forth in the relevant
standards, always follow these instructions and
precautions :
Product Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your
radio product as you would a wireline telephone.
Speak directly into the microphone
.
If you wear a radio product on your body when
transmitting, always place the radio product in a
Motorola approved clip, holder, holster, case or
body harness. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory supplied or approved by Motorola and
are not using the radio product in the intended
use positions along side the head in the phone
mode or in front of the face in the two-way radio
mode—or if you hang your device from a lanyard
around your neck—keep the device at least 2.5
centimeters (1 inch) from your body when
transmitting.
Two-way radio operation
Your radio product has been designed and tested
to comply with national and international
standards and guidelines regarding human
exposure to RF electromagnetic energy, when
operated in the two-way mode (at the face, or at
the abdomen when using an audio accessory) at
usage factors of up to 50% talk/50% listen.
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of
50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the
Walkie-Talkie (WT) button. To receive calls,
release the WT button. Transmitting 50% of the
time or less, is important because this radio
generates measurable RF energy only when
transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards
compliance).

its highest certified power level in all tested

RF Energy
Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF
energy interference from external sources if
inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise
configured for RF energy compatibility. In some
circumstances your handset may cause
interference with other devices.
•
Read and follow the directions from the
manufacturer of your implantable medical device.
If you have any questions about using your
wireless phone with your implantable medical
device, consult your health care provider.
Follow Instructions to Avoid
Interference Problems
Turn OFF your radio product where posted
notices instruct you to do so.

manufacturer or physician to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices and Health Care
Facilities
If you use any other personal medical devices,
consult your physician or the manufacturer or your
device to determine if it is adequately shielded
from RF energy. Turn off your radio product when
instructed to do so in hospitals or health care
facilities that may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
Note: The use of wireless phones while driving
may cause distraction. Discontinue a call if you
can’t concentrate on driving. Additionally, the use
of wireless devices and their accessories may be
prohibited or restricted in certain areas. Always
obey the laws and regulations on the use of these
products.
Operational Warnings
Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices
in public areas.
Driving Precautions
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radio
products in the area where you drive. Always obey
them.
When using your radio product while driving,
please:
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are
often but not always posted, and can include
fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel
or chemical transfer or storage facilities, or areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust or metal powders.
•
Give full attention to driving and to the
road. Using a mobile device may be
distracting. Discontinue a call if you can’t
concentrate on driving.
When you are in such area, turn off your hanset,
and do not remove, install, or charge batteries
unless it is a radio product type especially
qualified for use in such areas as “Intrinsically
Safe” (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, or UL
approved). In such areas, sparks can occur and
cause an explosion or fire.

Hearing Aid Compatibility
A number of Motorola 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 C63.19 was developed to
provide a standardized means of measuring both
mobile phone and hearing aids to determine
usability rating categories for both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to
assist hearing aid users find phones that may be
compatible with their hearing aid. Not all phones
have been rated for compatibility with hearing
aids. Phones that have been rated have a label
with the rating(s) located on the box, and at
These ratings are not guarantees of compatibility.
Results will vary depending on the user's hearing
aid and individual type and degree of hearing loss.
If a hearing aid is particularly vulnerable to
interference, even a phone with a higher rating
may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the
hearing aid Trying out the phone with your hearing
aid is the best way to evaluate it for your personal
needs.
“M” Rating: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC
requirements for hearing aid compatibility and are
likely to generate less interference to hearing aids
than unrated phones. (M4 is the “better” or higher
of the two ratings.) On those models with an
extendable antenna, this rating is determined only
with the antenna extended.
“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.
Hearing aids may also be measured for immunity
to interference from wireless phones and may
have ratings similar to wireless phones. Ask your
hearing healthcare professional for the rating of
your hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing
aid and your phone to determine the estimated
usability:
•
Any combined rating equal to or greater
than six offers excellent use.
•
Any combined rating equal to five is
considered normal use.
Safety Information
82
•
Any combined rating equal to four is
considered usable.
Thus, if you use an M3 phone with a M3 hearing
aid you will have a combined rating of six for
“excellent use.” This methodology applies
equally for T ratings.

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

mirrors, then continue.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional
