Introduction
Safety Information (US Version)
IMPORTANT:
Read this information before using your wireless handheld phone.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
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 Commission (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones.
Those guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by both
U.S. and international standards bodies:
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95. 1-1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP).
Report 86
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1996
• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations
of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engi-
neers, 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). For additional information concerning exposure to radio fre-
quency signals, see the statement by the FDA at the end of this user guide.
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a
handset on your body, use the Motorola-supplied or approved carrying
case, holster, or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory, ensure the antenna is at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from
your body when transmitting. Use of non-Motorola accessories may
violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may
violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
Normal Operation
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation
Observe the following guidelines to operate your phone most efficiently.
• Extend your antenna fully, if applicable.
vi
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
Introduction
• 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.
Batteries
Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury, or burns if a
conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches
exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and
become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise
care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside
your pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. When the
battery is detached from the phone, your batteries are packed with a
protective battery cover; please use this cover for storing your batteries
when not in use.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them. Observe the following
guidelines when using your phone while driving.
• Give full attention to driving--driving safely is your first responsibility.
• Use hands-free phone operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,
certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your
wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a mini-
mum separation of six inches (6") be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON
• should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
• should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference
• should turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Introduction
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of
your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF ener-
gy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted
in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may
be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded elec-
tronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manu-
facturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
Airline regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Check and
comply with the policy of your airline regarding the use of your phone
while the aircraft is on the ground.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in
a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio." Obey all signs
and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF, do not remove your battery when you are in any
area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks from your battery in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always
clearly marked. They include: fueling areas such as gasoline stations;
below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas
where fuel odors are present (for example, if a gas/propane leak occurs in a
car or home); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you normally
would be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. Do NOT place objects, including both
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Quick-Change Battery Removal/Replacement
The quick-change method allows you to remove your
battery at any time and replace it with a charged spare
battery during a telephone call. This is especially useful if
you receive the low battery message (Lo bAt ) or audible
tone during a call.
Simply remove the battery from the phone and put on the
spare battery. The phone will not go through the normal
power-up cycle described on page 4. You will only have
four seconds to complete this action before your telephone
call is terminated. It is a good idea to practice this
procedure a few times before using it on an actual
telephone call. Advise the party on the other end of the call
before beginning this procedure.

number consists of the bank’s telephone number (123-
4567), a bank PIN code (888) and # sign, and an account
number (22) and # sign, as shown below.
NOTE A maximum of 16 digits can be stored in a
memory location. A pause counts as one digit. If your
Memory Linked number requires more than 16 digits, you
can store part of the number in one memory location (e.g.,
the main access number) and the remainder in another
memory location.

Call Timers
About Timers
Call timers provide a useful means of monitoring the air-time
spent in conversation. Your phone is equipped with three
timers, resettable, individual, and cumulative. These timers
operate in the background and can be displayed at any time.
Each timer begins counting as a cellular channel is
assigned, or when the phone rings to signal an incoming
call. If an incoming call is not answered, the timers revert
to their previous values.

Cellular System Information
Cellular System Overview
There are generally two types of cellular systems serving
any metropolitan area. One of these will most likely be
operated by the telephone company that provides
telephone service to your community, generally referred to
as a wireline carrier. The other cellular service provider is a
radio common carrier, referred to as a non-wireline carrier.
Your Cellular Service Operator will provide information
concerning specific features, procedures, and coverage in
your particular area.
Service Area
The area within which the phone operates is defined by
your cellular service provider. Since this is a radio system,
no exact boundaries (as on a map) can be drawn. The red
NS (No Service) flashes if you are beyond range of a
service area. There may be locations within your area, such
as tunnels and underground parking facilities, where the
unit may act as if it were beyond range.

Cellular System Information
Switchhook and Advanced System
Services
Press SND .
During a call, pressing SND performs a switchhook
function used to access enhanced Cellular System features
such as call waiting and conference calls. For the
functioning of these features with SND , consult your
Cellular Service Provider.
Roaming
The term “Roaming” applies to the use of cellular
telephones within systems other than those designated as
their “Home” systems. RM (Roam) lights whenever the
phone comes within range of a visited system. As your
phone begins to roam, it seeks service according to the
conditions you have selected (see “Reviewing / Changing
Scanning Mode” on page 45).
Contact your system operator, or that of the visited system,
for information on dialing and billing procedures.
To use alternate long distance services when roaming, be
certain to dial the appropriate area code and local number
to access the alternate carrier in the visited area. Then use
the tone dialing sequence described on page 21. If you
selected Two-System Operation (see “Two-System
Operation” on page 44), enter RCL , to verify the
currently active number. This is especially important if your
two home systems have different area codes, or if RM is
flashing within your home service area.
Note that when you roam, the visited system may require
that you enter your security PIN code. Refer to “PIN Code
Operation” on page 30 for details on using PIN operation.
If you have a problem, contact the local system operator or
your home system operator for further information.

Cellular System Information
Two-System Operation
Your cellular telephone is equipped with a feature that
allows you to maintain two telephone numbers from two
different system operators. Both are designated as your
‘home system’ but are accessed separately. At the time
your phone was programmed, you elected whether to
enable this feature and which two systems would be
treated as your home systems.
While you may switch from one system to the other, only
one of the two can be active at any given time. Calls are
placed and received through the active system only.
To switch from one system to the other:
1. Press RCL , , STO .
2. The display will blank to confirm the switch and the
newly activated number will appear.
3. When you have finished viewing, press CLR .
If you have two phone numbers programmed into your
phone, each time the phone is turned on, it displays a
message indicating which home system type and phone
number is currently active. Possible messages are as
follows:

Regulations and Precautions
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission and the
Canadian Department of Communications regulate
cellular radiotelephone service in their respective
countries. It is important for you, the MicroTAC phone
user, to observe the applicable regulations when operating
your phone in either country. In addition to these U. S. and
Canadian federal regulations, you may also be bound by
certain state, provincial, territorial, and local rules and
regulations, as well as by your cellular carrier’s tariff (the
rates, terms, and conditions of its service). If you wish to
use your phone in both the U.S. and Canada, please
consult with your system operator.
Furthermore, you should remember that your MicroTAC
phone is a radiotelephone system (i.e., it combines both
wireline technology, as used in your home or office
telephone system, and radio technology), and that the
scope of regulations and precautions is therefore broader
than the scope of regulations and precautions relating to
wireline-only telephone usage.
Some of the major points of consideration are set out
below. Please note, however, that this “Rules, Regulations,
and Precautions” section does not constitute legal advice,
and is intended merely for general information purposes. If
you have any specific questions, please contact your
Cellular Carrier (System Operator).
License - If your home system is in the U.S., you do not
require a separate license to operate your MicroTAC
phone; obtaining a cellular telephone access number is
sufficient to register you as a user. If your home system is in
Canada, a separate license is required. Your carrier will
assist you in the licensing process. If you wish to use your
MicroTAC phone in both the U.S. and Canada, please
contact your Cellular Carrier (System Operator). Your base
should operate in only one location.
50
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
Reference
Denial of Service - A cellular carrier may deny service
temporarily or terminate service for violation of any
governmental regulations or of its tariff.
Driving - Your MicroTAC phone is considered a cellular
telephone. Some jurisdictions prohibit your using a
cellular telephone while driving a vehicle. Even if your
jurisdiction does not have such a law, we strongly suggest
that, for safety reasons, the driver use extreme caution
when operating the MicroTAC phone while the vehicle is
in motion (see “Driving” on page vii).
Consumer Responsibilities - Remember that the wireline
and radio regulations with respect to harassing calls, false
distress calls, obscene language, etc., apply to cellular
phone usage.
Privacy - As a telephone user, you have come to assume a
certain standard of privacy when you place or receive a
telephone call via traditional wireline systems. However,
because MicroTAC phones utilize radio transmissions to
effect calls, the same standard cannot always be assured.
While it is unlawful for any unauthorized person to divulge or
use any information obtained from intercepting or ‘listening
in on’ conversations intended for others, you should not
assume that your conversation is completely secure.
Commercially available scanning equipment can permit a
third party to monitor the radio channels used for MicroTAC
phone calls.
Interference - No person shall interfere with or cause
interference to any radio communication or signal.
Equipment Modifications - The U.S. Federal
Communications Commission has type-approved the
model of MicroTAC phone which you have purchased, and
both have allocated a specific frequency range for cellular
service. No changes or adjustments are to be made to your
MicroTAC phone.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administrationís Center for
Devices and Radiological Health Consumer
Update on Mobile Phones
FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile
phones, including cellular phones and PCS phones. The follow-
ing summarizes what is known--and what remains unknown--
about whether these products can pose a hazard to health, and
what can be done to minimize any potential risk. This informa-
tion may be used to respond to questions.
Why the concern?
Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency
energy (i.e., radiofrequency radiation) in the microwave range
while being used. They also emit very low levels of radiofre-
quency energy (RF), considered non-significant, when in the
stand-by mode. It is well known that high levels of RF can pro-
duce biological damage through heating effects (this is how your
microwave oven is able to cook food). However, it is not known
whether, to what extent, or through what mechanism, lower
levels of RF might cause adverse health effects as well. Although
some research has been done to address these questions, no
clear picture of the biological effects of this type of radiation has
emerged to date. Thus, the available science does not allow us
to conclude that mobile phones are absolutely safe, or that they
are unsafe. However, the available scientific evidence does not
demonstrate any adverse health effects associated with the use
of mobile phones.
What kinds of phones are in question?
Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the
kind that have a built-in antenna that is positioned close to the
user's head during normal telephone conversation. These types
of mobile phones are of concern because of the short distance
between the phone's antenna--the primary source of the RF--and
the person's head. The exposure to RF from mobile phones in
which the antenna is located at greater distances from the user
(on the outside of a car, for example) is drastically lower than
that from hand-held phones, because a person's RF exposure
decreases rapidly with distance from the source. The safety of
so-called "cordless phones," which have a base unit connected
to the telephone wiring in a house and which operate at far
lower power levels and frequencies, has not been questioned.
How much evidence is there that hand-held mobile phones
might be harmful?
Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either
way; however, research efforts are on-going. The existing sci-
entific evidence is conflicting and many of the studies that
have been done to date have suffered from flaws in their
research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects
of RF exposures characteristic of mobile phones have yielded

conflicting results. A few animal studies, however, have sug-
gested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development
of cancer in laboratory animals. In one study, mice genetically
altered to be predisposed to developing one type of cancer
developed more than twice as many such cancers when they
were exposed to RF energy compared to controls. There is
much uncertainty among scientists about whether results
obtained from animal studies apply to the use of mobile
phones. First, it is uncertain how to apply the results obtained
in rats and mice to humans. Second, many of the studies that
showed increased tumor development used animals that had
already been treated with cancer-causing chemicals, and other
studies exposed the animals to the RF virtually continuously--
up to 22 hours per day.
For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone
industry has supported research into the safety of mobile
phones. This research has resulted in two findings in particular
that merit additional study:
1. In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers looked
for an association between mobile phone use and either
glioma (a type of brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a
benign tumor of the nerve sheath). No statistically significant
association was found between mobile phone use and
acoustic neuroma. There was also no association between
mobile phone use and gliomas when all types of types of
gliomas were considered together. It should be noted that
the average length of mobile phone exposure in this study
was less than three years.
When 20 types of glioma were considered separately, however,
an association was found between mobile phone use and one
rare type of glioma, neuroepithelliomatous tumors. It is possi-
ble with multiple comparisons of the same sample that this
association occurred by chance. Moreover, the risk did not
increase with how often the mobile phone was used, or the
length of the calls. In fact, the risk actually decreased with
cumulative hours of mobile phone use. Most cancer causing
agents increase risk with increased exposure. An ongoing study
of brain cancers by the National Cancer Institute is expected to
bear on the accuracy and repeatability of these results.
2. Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to
assess the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on genetic
material. These included tests for several kinds of abnormali-
ties, including mutations, chromosomal aberrations, DNA
strand breaks, and structural changes in the genetic material
of blood cells called lymphocytes. None of the tests showed
any effect of the RF except for the micronucleus assay,
which detects structural effects on the genetic material. The
cells in this assay showed changes after exposure to simulat-
ed cell phone radiation, but only after 24 hours of exposure.

It is possible that exposing the test cells to radiation for this
long resulted in heating. Since this assay is known to be sen-
sitive to heating, heat alone could have caused the abnor-
malities to occur. The data already in the literature on the
response of the micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting.
Thus, follow-up research is necessary.
FDA is currently working with government, industry, and acad-
emic groups to ensure the proper follow-up to these industry-
funded research findings. Collaboration with the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) in particular is
expected to lead to FDA providing research recommendations
and scientific oversight of new CTIA-funded research based on
such recommendations.
Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the
literature:

month), about 4800 cases of brain cancer would be expected
each year among those 80 million people, whether or not they
used their phones. Thus it is not possible to tell whether any
individual's cancer arose because of the phone, or whether it
would have happened anyway. A key question is whether the
risk of getting a particular form of cancer is greater among
people who use mobile phones than among the rest of the
population. One way to answer that question is to compare the
usage of mobile phones among people with brain cancer with
the use of mobile phones among appropriately matched peo-
ple without brain cancer. This is called a case-control study.
The current case-control study of brain cancers by the National
Cancer Institute, as well as the follow-up research to be spon-
sored by industry, will begin to generate this type of information.
What is FDA's role concerning the safety of mobile phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-
emitting consumer products such as mobile phones before
marketing, as it does with new drugs or medical devices.
However, the agency has authority to take action if mobile
phones are shown to emit radiation at a level that is hazardous
to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufactur-
ers of mobile phones to notify users of the health hazard and
to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no
longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regula-
tory actions at this time, FDA has urged the mobile phone
industry to take a number of steps to assure public safety. The
agency has recommended that the industry:
• support needed research into possible biological effects of RF
of the type emitted by mobile phones;
• design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF expo-
sure to the user that is not necessary for device function; and
• cooperate in providing mobile phone users with the best
possible information on what is known about possible effects
of mobile phone use on human health.
At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working
group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for differ-
ent aspects of mobile phone safety to ensure a coordinated
effort at the federal level. These agencies are:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Federal Communications Commission
• Occupational Health and Safety Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information
Administration
The National Institutes of Health also participates in this group.

In the absence of conclusive information about any possible
risk, what can concerned individuals do?
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do
not know that there is--it is probably very small. But if people
are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, there are
simple steps they can take to do so. For example, time is a key
factor in how much exposure a person receives. Those persons
who spend long periods of time on their hand-held mobile
phones could consider holding lengthy conversations on con-
ventional phones and reserving the hand-held models for
shorter conversations or for situations when other types of
phones are not available.
People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars
every day could switch to a type of mobile phone that places
more distance between their bodies and the source of the RF,
since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance.
For example, they could switch to
• a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside the
vehicle,
• a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to a
different antenna mounted on the outside of the car or built
into a separate package, or
• a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone carried
at the waist.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile
phones are harmful. But if people are concerned about the
radiofrequency energy from these products, taking the simple
precautions outlined above can reduce any possible risk.
