Messaging Settings
Messaging settings make messaging easier by letting
you decide how you would like to be notified of new
messages, create a signature with each sent message,
and create your own preset messages.
Location Settings
Your phone is equipped with a Location feature for use
in connection with location-based services.
Setting Message Notification
The Location feature allows the network to detect your
position. Turning Location off will hide your location
from everyone, except 911.
When you receive a message, your phone notifies you
by displaying an icon in the notification bar. You can
also choose to be notified with a sound while making a
phone call.
Note: Turning Location on will allow the network to detect
your position using GPS technology, making some
Sprint applications and services easier to use. Turning
Location off will disable the GPS location function for all
purposes except 911, but will not hide your general
location based on the cell site serving your call. No
application or service may use your location without
your request or permission. GPS-enhanced 911 is not
available in all areas.

4A. Important Safety Information
communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls
may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain
network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check
with your local service provider for details.
This phone guide contains important operational and
safety information that will help you safely use your
phone. Failure to read and follow the information
provided in this phone guide may result in serious
bodily injury, death, or property damage.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any
special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas
where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or
danger.
General Precautions
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
ⅷ
To maximize performance, do not touch the bottom portion
of your phone where the internal antenna is located while
using the phone.
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent
possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have
permission from a crew member to use your phone while the
plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC
regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the
air.
ⅷ
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint-authorized
personnel should service your phone and accessories. Failure
to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to
Your Phone
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot
guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should
never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential
4A. Important Safety Information
123
ⅷ
Do contact your service provider or Motorola if your mobile
device or battery has been damaged by dropping, liquids
or high temperatures.
Battery Use & Safety
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.
Note: *Always make sure that the battery compartment and any
connector covers are closed and secure to avoid direct
exposure of the battery to any of these conditions, even if your
product information states that your mobile device can resist
damage from these conditions.
DON’Ts

YOUR MOBILE DEVICE MEETS FCC LIMITS 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) adopted by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). These limits include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
Implantable Medical Devices
If you have an implantable medical device, such as a
pacemaker or defibrillator, consult your physician before using
this mobile device.
4A. Important Safety Information
129
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 1.6 W/kg.
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.
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 FCC guidelines for your device model are
listed below:
Additional information can be found at www.who.int/emf (World
Health Organization) or www.motorola.com/rfhealth (Motorola
Mobility, Inc.).
Head SAR

Bluetooth
0.93 W/kg
Body-worn CDMA 800/1900, Wi-Fi, WiMax,
SAR
0.91 W/kg
Information from the World Health
Organization
Bluetooth
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.
“A large number of studies have been performed over the last
two decades to assess whether mobile phones pose a
potential health risk. To date, no adverse health effects have
been established for mobile phone use.”
Source: WHO Fact Sheet 193
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.

136
4A. Important Safety Information
amounts of perchlorate. In such cases, California law requires
the following label:
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids
for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However,
there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this
phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It
is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly
and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Contact
your service provider or Motorola for information on hearing aid
compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange
policies, contact your service provider or phone retailer.
Perchlorate Material – special handling may apply when the
battery is recycled or disposed of.
See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate
There is no special handling required by consumers.
Hearing Aid Compatibility with
Mobile Phones
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on
the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing
device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not
be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone
with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.
Some Motorola phones are measured for compatibility with
hearing aids. If the box for your particular model has “Rated for
Hearing Aids” printed on it, the following explanation applies.
When some mobile phones are used near some hearing
devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may
detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing
devices are more immune than others to this interference
noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they
generate.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements
and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices
than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the
two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T
Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing
devices have telecoils in them.)
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for
some of their mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in
finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing
devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated
have the rating on their box or a label on the box. To maintain
the published Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) rating for this
mobile phone, use only the original equipment battery model.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this
type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or
