Symbol Key
Your battery, charger, or mobile device may contain symbols, defined as follows:
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Exposure to 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.
Your mobile device is designed to comply with local regulatory requirements in
your country concerning exposure of human beings to RF energy.
RF Energy Operational Precautions
For optimal mobile device performance, and to be sure that human exposure to
RF energy does not exceed the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards,
always follow these instructions and precautions:
•
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 cm (1 inch) from your
body when transmitting.
•
Using accessories not supplied or approved by Motorola may cause your
mobile device to exceed RF energy exposure guidelines. For a list of
Motorola-supplied or approved accessories, visit our website at:
www.motorola.com.
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 mobile device may cause
interference with other devices.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems
Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct you to
do so.
In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline
staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult

Specific Absorption Rate (ICNIRP)
SAR (ICNIRP)
YOUR MOBILE DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency
electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The
guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organization (ICNIRP)
and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the
device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for your device
model are listed below:
During use, the actual SAR values for your device are usually well below the
values stated. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to
minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile
device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call.
The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out using an approved accessory or
at a separation distance of 2.5 cm (1 inch). To meet RF exposure guidelines
during body-worn operation, the device should be in an approved accessory or
positioned at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body. If you are not using an
approved accessory, ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal
and that it positions the phone at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information
does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile
devices. They recommend that if you are interested in further reducing your
exposure then you can easily do so by limiting your usage or simply using a
hands-free kit to keep the device away from the head and body.

all in heavy traffi
c
or hazardous weather
c
onditions.
Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look u
p
p
hone numbers while driving.
Jotting
down a “to do” list or going through your address book takes attention
away from your primary responsibility—driving safely.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffi
c
; if
p
ossible,
p
la
c
e
c
alls when your
c
ar is not moving or before
p

• Call roadside assistan
c
e or a s
p
e
c
ial non-emergen
c
y wireless
assistan
c
e number when ne
c
essary.
If you see a broken-down vehicle
posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident
where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call
roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number
(wherever wireless phone service is available).
