Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger  
Protect your SIM card as you would any delicate  
object. Store it carefully.  
Note  
Use only Nextel-approved or Motorola-  
approved batteries and chargers with your  
phone. The failure to use a Nextel-approved or  
Motorola-approved battery and charger may  
increase the risk that your phone will overheat,  
catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious  
bodily injury, death, or property damage.  
WARNING  
To insert your SIM card:  
1. With your phone powered off, remove the battery  
2. Lift the rubber flap directly above the SIM card  
holder, and then carefully slide the SIM card into  
your phone, until it lies flat in the SIM card holder.  
Nextel-approved and Motorola -approved batteries and  
accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through  
Motorola. You may order online at www.nextel.com or by  
calling1-866-866-7509.  
Do not touch the gold-colored areas of your  
SIM card.  
Important  
Battery Capacity  
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)  
battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is  
fully drained.  
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, your  
phone makes a sound and displays a message. When  
there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the  
phone sounds an audible alert and then turns off.  
10  
   
2. Remove the battery cover from the back of the  
phone  
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate  
mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce  
the battery’s talk and standby times.  
Note  
Tip  
Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and  
charge the battery before it runs out of power.  
Installing the Battery  
1. With your thumbs, press down on the battery cover  
on the back of your phone and slide it up toward  
the antenna to release it.  
3. Insert the battery into the opening, making sure the  
connectors align. Gently press down to secure the  
battery.  
11  
 
4. Replace the battery cover and press down until  
you hear a click.  
Charging the Battery  
Charge your battery as soon as possible so you can  
begin using your phone.  
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If  
your battery level becomes too low, your phone  
automatically turns off, and you will lose any  
information you were just working on. For a quick  
check of your battery level, glance at the battery charge  
indicator located on your display screen.  
Removing the Battery  
Always use a Nextel-approved or Motorola-approved  
desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power  
adapter to charge your battery.  
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose  
any stored numbers or messages.  
2. Remove the battery cover and remove the battery  
from the phone.  
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion  
battery as you can be burned.  
WARNING  
12  
     
With the approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the  
battery before it becomes completely run down.  
Using the Phone Charger  
Plug the flat end of the charger into the phone’s  
charger connector and the other end into an  
electrical outlet.  
Battery Use and 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.  
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.  
WARNING  
Battery usage by children should be supervised.  
Your display screen lets you know the battery  
is charging.  
Both the battery icon and a text message  
show the charging status.  
13  
 
It is normal for battery life to decrease over time, and  
for the battery to exhibit shorter runtime between  
charges or require more frequent or longer charging  
times.  
Motorola mobile devices are designed to  
work best with qualified batteries. If you see a  
message on your display such as Invalid  
Battery or Unable to Charge, take the  
following steps:  
Important  
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 damage, take  
it to a Motorola Authorized Service Center before  
using. Do not attempt to dry it with an appliance or  
heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.  
• Remove the battery and inspect it to  
confirm that it bears a Motorola “Original  
Equipment” hologram;  
• If there is no hologram, the battery is not  
a qualified battery;  
• If there is a hologram, replace the battery  
and retry charging it;  
• If the message remains, contact a  
Motorola Authorized Service Center.  
Use care when handling a charged battery — particularly  
when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other  
container with metal objects. Contact with metal  
objects (e.g., jewelry, keys, beaded chains) could  
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit), causing  
the battery to become very hot, which could cause  
damage or injury.  
New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may  
take more time to charge.  
Charging precautions: When charging your battery,  
keep it near room temperature. Never expose  
batteries to temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above  
45°C (113°F) when charging. Always take your  
mobile device with you when you leave your vehicle.  
When storing your battery, keep it in a cool, dry  
place.  
14  
Promptly dispose of used batteries in  
accordance with local regulations. Contact your  
local recycling center for proper battery  
disposal.  
Features of Your Phone  
The i576 is easy to use, and reliable, and it offers many  
features and service options. This list previews some of  
those features and provides page numbers where you

Deleting Items  
GPS Enabled  
If you delete a DRM item that you purchased from  
Nextel from your phone, you will have to purchase it  
again to download it.  
Your phone’s GPS Enabled feature uses information  
from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting  
the Earth to determine the approximate geographical  
location of your phone, expressed as latitude and  
longitude. The availability and accuracy of this location  
information (and the amount of time that it takes to  
calculate it) will vary depending on the environment in  
which you are using the GPS feature. For example,  
GPS location fixes are often difficult to obtain indoors,  
in covered locations, between high buildings, or in  
other situations where you have not established a clear  
broad view of the sky. SEE: “IMPORTANT: Things to  
You cannot delete items that are DRM locked.  
Note  
Under certain conditions, third-party vendors will let  
you download an item multiple times within a given  
time frame, even if you deleted the item. Please  
contact the third-party vendor of an item to learn  
more about the vendor’s download regulations.  
1. Go to the location on your phone that contains the  
item you want.

you if your phone has adequate access to GPS satellite  
signals and your emergency response center is  
equipped to process such information.  
Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles.  
Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure.  
Between tall buildings or under dense tree-cover.  
Near a powerful radio or television tower.  
You can also use the GPS feature to view your  
approximate location. Location information appears on  
the phone’s display.  
When your GPS antenna is covered (for example, by  
your hand or other object) or facing the ground.  
Java applications loaded on your phone can also  
request your location. If your phone is connected to a  
laptop computer or similar device, software running on  
that device can request your location. To protect your  
privacy, you can control whether these requests are  
In temperature extremes outside the operating limits  
of your phone.  
Walking or driving very slowly may also substantially  
reduce GPS performance.  
Even where location information can be calculated in  
such situations, it may take much longer to do so, and  
your location estimate may not be as accurate.  
Therefore, in any 911 call, always report the location to  
the emergency response center if you can and if you  
cannot, remain on your phone for as long as the  
emergency response center instructs you.  
IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind  
If you are using the GPS feature of your phone while  
driving, please give full attention to driving and to the  
road.  
Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not  
available (usually because your GPS antenna cannot  
establish a view of a wide area of open sky), the GPS  
feature of your phone WILL NOT WORK. Such  
situations include but are not limited to:  
Even where adequate signals from multiple satellites  
are available, your GPS feature will only provide an  
approximate location, often within 150 feet (45 meters)  
but sometimes much further from your actual location.  
Advice on how to improve GPS performance is  
In underground locations.

Making an Emergency Call  
Dial 911 and press N to be connected to an  
emergency response center. If you are on an active  
call, you must end it before calling 911.  
While the GPS feature of your phone can be a valuable  
navigational aid, it does not replace the need for careful  
navigating and good judgment. Never rely solely on  
one device for navigation. Remember that the accuracy  
of the location information and the time needed to  
obtain it will vary depending on circumstances,  
particularly the ability to receive signals from adequate  
numbers of satellites.  
When you make an emergency 911 call, the GPS  
feature of your phone begins to seek information to  
calculate your approximate location. It will take the GPS  
feature of your phone some time to determine your  
approximate location. Even where your phone has  
good access to sufficient GPS satellite signals and  
network assist data, it may take 30 seconds or more to  
determine the approximate location. This time will  
increase where there is reduced access to satellite  
signals. When your approximate location is  
On emergency calls, your phone uses assistance  
information from the phone network to improve the  
speed and accuracy of your phone’s location  
calculation. If such assistance information becomes  
unavailable, it may reduce the speed and accuracy of  
the location calculation.  
determined, it is made available to the appropriate  
emergency response center.  
The satellites used by the GPS feature of your phone  
are controlled by the U.S. government and are subject  
to changes implemented in accordance with the  
Department of Defense GPS user policy and the  
Federal Radionavigation Plan. These changes may  
affect the performance of the GPS feature of your  
phone.  
In some cases, your local 911 emergency response  
center may not be equipped to receive GPS location  
information. For this reason, and because the GPS  
location information reported is only approximate or  
may not be available in your location (see  
always report your location to the 911 operator you  
120  
   
speak to when making an emergency call, if able, just  
as you would when using a phone without GPS  
capabilities.  
2. Scroll to view the entire screen.  
This displays the following information about the last  
time your location was calculated:  
If you are concerned about whether your local 911  
emergency response center is equipped to receive  
GPS location information, contact your local  
authorities.  
Note  
The time (as Greenwich Mean Time) and date that  
the location was last calculated.  
The approximate location, expressed as latitude and  
longitude.  
In general, if your phone has access to signals from  
more GPS satellites, your location will be determined  
faster and more accurately than if your phone has  
access to signals from fewer GPS satellites.  
The estimated accuracy of the calculated location.  
This estimate of accuracy is only a very rough  
estimate and may vary substantially from the actual  
accuracy of the approximate location information  
reported.  
If your phone does not have adequate access to GPS  
satellites signals, the location of the nearest cell tower  
in contact with your phone is automatically made  
available to the emergency response center, if the  
center has the capability to receive such information.

It may take your phone several minutes to complete the  
process of determining your location. During this time,

call, the location of the nearest cell tower in contact  
with your phone is made available to the appropriate  
emergency response center if the center has the  
capability to receive such information. If this happens  
when you are trying to view your location on the  
phone’s display, you will see a message indicating that  
your phone cannot access satellites.  
The Position screen displays the updated information.  
To cancel a location calculation before it is completed:  
Press Cancel (right softkey) to return to the Position  
screen or press P to return to standby mode.  
To improve accuracy and increase your chances of a  
successful calculation, do the following while your  
phone is determining your approximate location:  
Each time approximate location of your phone is  
calculated, the latest location information is stored in  
your phone and remains there even when your phone  
is powered off. You will see this information the next  
time you view the Position screen.  
Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where  
there is nothing between your phone and a large  
amount of open sky. If possible, go outside, away  
from tall buildings and foliage. While performance in  
a building is improved by moving closer to windows,  
glass with certain sun shielding films may block  
satellite signals.  
If you received a phone call or alert while attempting to  
determine your location, the Position screen will  
disappear, but your phone will continue attempting to  
determine its location. If it is successful, the new  
location information will be displayed the next time you  
view the Position screen.  
Hold your phone to enhance reception. Signals from GPS  
satellites are transmitted to your GPS antenna, which  
is in your phone antenna. Hold your phone away  
from your body, giving the antenna clear access to  
satellite signals. Do not cover the antenna area with  
your fingers or anything else.  
Enhancing GPS Performance  
Sometimes the GPS feature of your phone may be  
unable to complete a location calculation successfully.  
If this happens when you are making an emergency  
122  
   
Stand still. If possible, stand still until your phone is  
finished determining your location. Moving your  
phone at a walking pace while your phone is  
calculating your approximate location may  
substantially decrease GPS performance.  
When you make an emergency call, your phone  
does not rely upon the almanac to determine your  
location.  
Note  
If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your phone  
may prompt you to update it. Follow the instructions  
that appear on the phone’s display. You may be asked  
to go to a Web site or call a customer service number.  
In a car. When using the GPS Enabled feature in a car,  
position your phone so that the GPS antenna has  
good access to GPS signals through the car’s  
windows. Typically, the GPS antenna has best access  
to GPS signals in a car when placed near a window.  
Using GPS With Map Software  
You can use the GPS feature of your phone to provide  
approximate location data to a laptop computer or  
similar device that is running interactive map software  
such as that made by DeLorme or Microsoft. This way,  
if your phone has good access to GPS signals, your  
approximate position on a map can be made available  
as you travel in a vehicle.  
Although moving your phone at a walking pace  
decreases GPS performance, moving it at the speed  
of a moving car does not.  
Note  
Stay in network coverage. The network will provide your  
phone with information that helps determine your  
location more quickly and accurately.  
To do this, connect your phone to your laptop (or other  
device) with a data cable and set your phone to

Paired Devices  
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish  
trusted connections between your phone and another  
Bluetooth device. When devices are paired, a passkey  
is shared between devices, allowing for fast, secure  
connections while bypassing the discovery and  
authentication process.  
If you set a device to Automatic, then that device can  
connect automatically to your phone when it is in  
range. If you set a device to Ask, then that device must  
request permission before it can connect to your  
phone.  
To pair your phone with another Bluetooth device:  
1. Press M > Bluetooth > Link to Devices. (Your phone  
will display a list of discovered in-range Bluetooth  
devices.)

Discovering Hands-Free Bluetooth Devices  
To have your phone search for Bluetooth devices:  
Sharing Your Phone’s Bluetooth Address  
Press M > Bluetooth > Hands Free > [Find Devices].  
To bond with your phone, devices must have your  
phone’s Bluetooth address. To find devices that you  
want to bond with, you can make your phone  
discoverable, so that other devices learn your phone’s  
Bluetooth address. You can also have your phone  
search for Bluetooth devices to learn their addresses.  
A list of hands-free devices displays. Devices that  
do not have a name are listed by their Bluetooth  
address.  
To stop the search and go to the list of found  
devices, press Stop (left softkey).  
139  
           
To stop the search and return to the previous  
screen, press Cancel (right softkey).  
Bluetooth PINs  
Bluetooth devices exchange PINs (also known as  
passkeys or pass codes) in order to establish  
encrypted transfers between them. When prompted,  
enter the Bluetooth PINs.  
Bluetooth Bonds (Pairing)  
A bond is an encryption key that is generated when  
two Bluetooth devices exchange a common PIN. This  
key verifies the identity of each device, and encrypts  
any data transferred between the devices. Once the  
PIN is exchanged, the devices do not have to be in  
discoverable mode in order to exchange information.  
You only need to create a bond once between two  
devices.  
Some Bluetooth devices ship with Bluetooth PINs.  
Please refer to your Bluetooth device’s user guide to  
locate this information.  
If a device ships without a Bluetooth PIN, then you can  
enter any PIN for that device. To establish a connection  
to that device, enter the same PIN for both your phone  
and the device. For example, if you enter 1234 as the  
device’s PIN, then enter 1234 as your phone’s PIN.  
If you search for devices and you select a device that  
you are currently bonded with from the list of found  
devices, then the current bond with that device will be  
voided. You will have to re-establish the bond.  
In some cases, you may not be required to enter the  
Bluetooth PIN.  
Your i576 requires that you create a bond in order to  
connect with another device. However, you can choose  
to establish bonds with devices without connecting.  
Devices are automatically granted permission during  
the ten seconds after bonding.

Section 4  
Safety and Warranty  
Information  
 
Section 4A  
General Precautions  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone  
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
Important Safety Information  
To maximize performance, do not touch the bottom portion  
of your phone where the internal antenna is located while  
using the phone.  
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.  
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid  
spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the  
power off and remove the battery.  
Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended  
periods of time (such as on the dashboard of a car).  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of  
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting,  
bending, or sitting on it.  
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly  
approved in this document could void your warranty for this  
equipment and void your authority to operate this  
equipment.  
For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel  
should service your phone and accessories. Failure to do  
so may be dangerous and void your warranty.  
Note  
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.  
188  
         
Following Safety Guidelines  
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access  
to Your Phone  
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.  
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls  
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices  
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  
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.  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio  
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless  
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic  
equipment.  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately  
shielded electronic operating systems or entertainment  
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their  
representative to determine if these systems are adequately  
shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the  
manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to  
your vehicle.  
Using Your Phone While Driving  
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone  
without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions.  
Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety  
always comes first.  
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices,  
such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are  
adequately shielded from external RF signals.  
Responsible driving practices can be found in “Smart Practices  
While Driving” on page 200 and/or at the Motorola Web site:  
www.motorola.com/callsmart.  
Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local  
Sprint Store, or call Nextel at 1-866-866-7509.  
Tip

Operational Precautions  
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.  
Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and  
Note  
request permission before using the phone near medical  
equipment.  
If you wear a radio product on your body when  
transmitting, always place the radio product in  
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:  
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.  
Phone Operation  
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your radio  
product as you would a wireline telephone. Speak directly into  
the microphone.  
Approved Accessories  
Two-way radio operation  
For a list of approved Motorola accessories call  
1-800-453-0920, or visit our website at  
www.motorola.com/support.  
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.  
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying  
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.  
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time.  
To transmit (talk), push the PTT button. To receive calls, release  
the PTT 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).  
190  
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
Using Your Phone With a Hearing  
Aid Device  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone  
off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs  
indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction  
crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.  
A number of Nextel phones have been tested for hearing aid  
device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used  
with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and  
cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can  
interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.  
Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a  
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone  
and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an  
explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These  
areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:  
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this  
interference noise, and phones 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 wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability  
rating categories for both.  
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such  
as grain, dust, or metal powders.  
Any other area where you would normally be advised to  
turn off your vehicle’s engine.  
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist  
hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with  
their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for  
compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been  
rated have a label with the rating(s) located on the box, and are  
listed at www.motorola.com/accessibility.  
Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids,  
or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that  
Note  
contains your phone or accessories.  
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone  
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending  
on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of  
hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to  
interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still  
cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying

evaluate it for your personal needs.  
find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.  
Should you experience interference or find the quality of  
service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly  
return it to the store within 30 days of purchase. With the Sprint  
30-day Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return the phone within  
30 days of purchase for a full refund. More information about  
hearing aid compatibility may be found at:  
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for  
hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less  
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (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.)  
www.motorola.com/accessibility, www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov,  
and www.accesswireless.org.  
Getting the Best Hearing Device  
Experience With Your Phone  
To further minimize interference:  
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to  
interference noise from wireless phones and should have  
ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing health care  
professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of  
your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable  
usability:  
Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to  
ensure the minimum time interval:  
1. Press s> Settings > Display/Info > Backlight > Timer or  
Java Timer.  
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers  
excellent use.  
2. Select the minimum time interval setting and press OK.  
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.  
Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from  
your hearing aid.  
Move the phone around to find the point with least  
interference.  
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will  
have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.”This is  
synonymous for T ratings.  
Nextel further suggests you experiment with multiple phones  
(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to

Body-Worn Operation  
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy  
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 2.5 centimeters from your body when transmitting. Use  
of non-Motorola-approved accessories may violate FCC RF  
exposure guidelines.  
Understanding How Your Phone Operates  
Your phone contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON,  
it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate  
with your phone, the system handling your call controls the  
power level at which your phone transmits.  
Your Motorola phone is designed to comply with local  
regulatory requirements in your country concerning exposure  
of human beings to RF energy.

In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers  
(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined  
in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to  
human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers  
and physicians from universities, government health agencies and  
industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the  
available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation.  
In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the  
existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the  
National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements  
(NCRP).

a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all  
persons, regardless of age and health.  
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a  
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or  
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.2 Tests for SAR  
are conducted using standard operating positions reviewed by  
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified  
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is  
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR  
level of the phone while operating can be well below the  
maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to  
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power

If you have further questions regarding how use of your phone  
may impact your privacy or data security, please contact  
Motorola.  
Privacy and Data Security  
Motorola understands that privacy and data security are  
important to everyone. Because some features of your phone  
may affect your privacy or data security, please follow these  
recommendations to enhance protection of your information:  
Smart Practices While Driving  
Drive Safe, Call Smart SM  
Monitor access: Keep your phone with you and do not leave  
it where others may have unmonitored access. Lock your  
device’s keypad where this feature is available.  
Keep software up to date: If Motorola or a software/  
application vendor releases a patch or software fix for your  
phone which updates the device’s security, install it as soon  
as possible.  
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices  
and their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always  
obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or  
restricted in certain areas. Contact www.motorola.com/callsmart  
for more information.  
Erase before recycling: Delete personal information or data  
from your phone prior to disposing of it or turning it in for  
recycling. For step-by-step instructions on how to delete all  
personal information from your device, please contact your  
local service provider.  
Understanding AGPS: In order to comply with emergency  
caller location requirements of the FCC, certain Motorola  
phones incorporate Assisted Global Positioning System  
(AGPS) technology. AGPS technology also can be used in  
non-emergency applications to track and monitor a user’s  
location, for example, to provide driving directions. Users  
who prefer not to permit such tracking and monitoring  
should avoid using such applications.  
Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data—  
almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless service is  
available and safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving  
is your first responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile  
device while driving, remember the following tips:  
Get to know your Motorola phone and its features such as  
speed dial and redial. If available, these features help you to  
place your call without taking your attention off the road.  
When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add an  
additional layer of convenience to your phone with one of the  
many Motorola Original hands-free accessories available  
today.  
Position your phone within easy reach. Be able to access  
your phone without removing your eyes from the road. If you  
200  
   
receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible,  
let your voice mail answer it for you.  
assistance or other special non-emergency wireless  
number.*  
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if  
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous  
weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy  
traffic can be hazardous.  
Do not take notes or look up phone 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 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 few numbers,  
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.  
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that  
may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware  
you are driving and suspend conversations that can divert  
your attention away from the road.  
* Wherever wireless phone service is available  
Use your phone to call for help. Dial 911 or other local  
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or  
medical emergencies.*  
Use your phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an  
auto accident, crime in progress, or other serious emergency  
where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency  
number, as you would want others to do for you.*  
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency  
wireless assistance number when necessary. 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
