Benefits of AgIONTM*
AgION AntimicrobialTM —
Built-in Protection for
Your Phone
•
AgION antimicrobial technology helps provide
protection against product damaging bacteria on
the painted surfaces of the phone.
•
•
AgION antimicrobial is effective in protecting the
product against a broad spectrum of bacteria.
Motorola has incorporated AgION antimicrobial
into the painted surfaces of your phone to help
provide protection against a broad range of product
damaging bacteria, mold, and mildew.
AgION helps inhibit the ability of microbes to
grow and spread on the painted surfaces of the
phone.
Motorola is the first wireless phone manufacturer to
incorporate AgION antimicrobial into the phone's
painted surfaces.
•
The active ingredient helps break down
enzymes in the microbe, inhibiting its ability to
reproduce and spread on the painted surfaces of
the phone.
The antimicrobial technology is an example of
Motorola's pursuit for innovation and creativity to
produce the best quality wireless experience.
•
•
Studies have shown that surfaces with AgION
antimicrobial can reduce the amount of certain
product damaging bacteria by 99%.
The antimicrobial technology in the paint on
Motorola iDEN® phones helps provide protection
against product damage caused by microbes, but
does not extend such protection to the user.
The AgION coating will protect the painted
surfaces of the product against product
damaging bacteria for the life of the product.
Versatile in application, the EPA-registered AgION
additive is recommended for institutional,
commercial and consumer applications. AgION
antimicrobials are used in many settings including
hospitals, offices, schools and food processing
facilities. They can also be found in leading
footwear, fabrics, appliances, water coolers and
architectural hardware.
* The antimicrobial technology is applied only to the painted
surfaces of the Motorola iDEN phones, thereby providing
protection against damage to such surfaces caused by microbes,
but does not extend such protection to the end user.
ix
Safety
Accreditation
•
AgION antimicrobial protection is based on
silver, a safe, non-toxic additive to the phone
paint. Silver is widely used as an antimicrobial
agent in many environments and industries.
•
The AgION antimicrobial compound is
registered with the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) as a preservative and
bacteriostatic agent for use in the manufacturing
of polymers and plastics.
•
AgION antimicrobial technology is safe to use.
Thorough testing has shown the additive to be
less toxic than table salt and less irritating than
talcum powder.
•
NSF, FDA-listed
How It Works
•
The technology continuously inhibits the growth
of product damaging bacteria on the phone's
painted surfaces.The active ingredient helps
break down enzymes in the microbe, inhibiting
its ability to reproduce and spread on the painted
surfaces on the phonee.
•
The active ingredient in AgION is silver, in the
form of silver ions.

Ensuring Files on the Memory
Card Are Compatible With
Your Phone
When your memory card is connected to your
computer, your computer lets you save files to your
memory card in ways that may not allow you to
access these files when the memory card is in your
i870 phone.
Memory Card
Your i870 phone comes with a 32 MB memory
card, memory card adaptor, and memory card
reader.
A memory card is a removable flash memory card
that you can use to store pictures, videos, and
audio files. The memory card can be inserted in
your phone or connected to your computer using
the memory card reader.
To ensure the files on your memory card are
compatible with your i870 phone, use the folder
structure, filename rules, and formats described in
the following sections.
When the memory card is in your phone, many
types of pictures, videos, and audio files stored on
the memory card can be viewed or played using
your phone's media center. MP3 audio files stored
on the memory card can be played using your
phone's audio player.
Folder Structure
The first time you insert the memory card into your
phone, three folders are created: Audio, Images,
and Video. In order to access files stored on the
memory card, you must store the given file in its
corresponding format folder: audio files to the
Audio folder, pictures to the Images folder, and
videos to the Video folder.
A memory card reader connects to your
computer’s USB port and lets you access the
memory card from your computer. This lets you
save files from your computer to your memory card
or save files from your memory card to your
computer.
The memory card adaptor makes the memory card
compatible with the memory card reader.
Because your phone creates these folders the first
time the memory card is inserted, you should insert
the memory card into your phone at least once
before using it with your computer.

How Your Audio Files Are Organized
Fast-Forward and Rewind

playlists.

the right side of the navigation key, as if scrolling
right.

card inserted in your phone, listed alphabetically
by title.

artist’s folder, the songs are listed alphabetically
by title.
Genres — Songs grouped by artist. The artists
are listed alphabetically by name. Within each
artist’s folder, the songs are listed alphabetically
by title.
Since you will probably want to use the audio
player primarily to play songs, the audio player
treats the MP3 audio files on the memory card as
songs when grouping and organizing them.

In the Albums, Artists, and Genres folders, any
MP3 audio files that do not contain enough
metadata to be grouped by album, artist, or genre
are paced in a folder labelled “Unknown”.

Bluetooth®
Understanding Bluetooth®
Access Settings
A Bluetooth device can have either automatic or
ask security access. The first time a Bluetooth
device connects to your i870 phone, you must
grant the device permission to connect. You can
then change the access setting of the device to
either automatic or ask.
Bluetooth®
Your i870 phone is a Bluetooth device. Bluetooth
devices create seamless voice and data
connections with other Bluetooth devices, such as
another Bluetooth phone, a Bluetooth pen,
headset, or desktop adapter. These connections
are made wirelessly.
You can use your i870 phone to send information
such as Contacts entries, Datebook events, and
pictures to another Bluetooth device.
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.
Devices must be within 32 feet (10 meters) of your
phone to be recognized.
Note: This measurement represents optimal
conditions. Actual conditions may require
you to position your phone closer.
Devices are automatically granted permission
during the 10 seconds after bonding. For more
information about bonding, see “Bluetooth® Bonds”
on page 133.
You can only connect your phone to one device at
a time.
The default for hands free devices, such as
Bluetooth headsets, is automatic.

You can turn power to your phone’s Bluetooth
feature on or off. While Bluetooth power is on, your
phone can communicate with other devices.
To activate voice dialing for Bluetooth:
You can turn off Bluetooth if you want to prolong
battery life or you enter an area where Bluetooth is
prohibited.
1 From the main menu, select Bluetooth > Setup
> Voice Dial.
2 Select the setting you want.

Address” on page 132.
Renaming Your Phone
To select a default duration for Find Me:
Bluetooth devices are listed by their Bluetooth
addresses unless you name them. Your i870
phone comes with a default device name of
“Motorola Phone”. Renaming your i870 phone with
a unique device name makes it easier for you to
distinguish your phone from other Bluetooth
devices.

To have your phone search for Bluetooth devices:
Sharing Your Phone’s Bluetooth®
Address
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.
From the main menu, select Bluetooth > Hands
Free > [Find Devices].
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 A under Stop.

screen, press A under Cancel.
Allowing Bluetooth® Devices to Find Your
Phone
To let devices find your phone and its Bluetooth
address, place your phone in discoverable mode.

Making a Bluetooth® Connection
Bluetooth® Bonds
Some Bluetooth devices ship with Bluetooth PINs.
Please refer to your Bluetooth device’s user guide
to locate this information.
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.
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.
To create a bond between your phone and another
device:
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.
1 From the main menu, select Bluetooth.
2 If you want to create a bond and connect with
the given device, select Hands Free > [Find
Devices]. -or-
Your i870 requires that you create a bond in order
to connect with another device. However, you can
choose to establish bonds with devices without
connecting.
If you want to create a bond to have it available
for future use, select Link to Devices.
3 Select the device you want.
4 Press A under Yes if you are prompted to do
so.
5 Enter a PIN.
6 Press A under OK.
Note: Devices are automatically granted
permission during the 10 seconds after
bonding.
Bluetooth® PINs
Bluetooth devices exchange PINs in order to
establish encrypted transfers between them. When
prompted, enter the Bluetooth PINs.
7 If necessary, enter the same PIN for the other
device.

GPS Enabled
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
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.
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. Also,
nearby radio and electronic equipment may block
or interfere with reception from these distant
satellites. SEE: “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in
Mind”.
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:
When you make a 911 emergency call, the GPS
feature of your phone can help emergency
personnel locate you if your phone has adequate
access to GPS satellite signals and your
emergency response center is equipped to process
such information.
•
•
In underground locations
Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered
vehicles
•
•
•
Under any other metal or concrete roof or
structure
You can also use the GPS feature to view your
approximate location. Location information
appears on the phone’s display.
Between tall buildings or under dense
tree-cover
Near a powerful radio or television tower
138
IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind
•
Some radios, entertainment equipment and
other electronic devices may generate
signals that can block or interfere with the
GPS receiver ability to receive the distant
satellite signals, particularly when such
devices are operating in close proximity to
the GPS receiver. Therefore, in a 911 call, or
when otherwise using the GPS location
function, always move your phone away
from any such devices.
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
provided in “Enhancing GPS Performance” on
page 142.
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 your GPS antenna is covered (for
example, by your hand or other object) or
facing the ground
In temperature extremes outside the
operating limits of your phone
Walking or driving very slowly may also
substantially reduce GPS performance.
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.
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.
139
GPS Enabled
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 “IMPORTANT:
Things to Keep in Mind” on page 138), always
report your location to the 911 operator you
speak to when making an emergency call, if able,
just as you would when using a phone without GPS
capabilities.
Making an Emergency Call
Dial 911 to be connected to an emergency
response center. If you are on an active call, you
must end it before calling 911.
Note: If you are concerned about whether your
local 911 emergency response center is
equipped to receive GPS location
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 determined, it is made
available to the appropriate emergency response
center.
information, contact your local authorities.
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.
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.
140
Viewing Your Approximate Location
See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 142
for information on how to help your phone
determine your location.
It may take your phone several minutes to
complete the process of determining your location.
During this time, a message usually appears on
your phone’s display saying your phone is
scanning for satellites. For tips on getting the best
location calculation, see “Enhancing GPS
Performance” on page 142.

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 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.

To improve accuracy and increase your chances of
a successful calculation, do the following while
your phone is determining your approximate
location:
•
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.
•
Extend your phone antenna.
142
Setting Privacy Options
•
Move away from electronic devices. Radios,
entertainment devices, and other electronic
devices may generate interfering signals that
may prevent GPS receiver operation if they are
in close proximity to the phone. Move your
phone away from such devices when using the
GPS-Enabled feature.
Setting Privacy Options
Your phone’s GPS privacy options control whether
Java applications on your phone or other software
applications may view the location of your
phone.You may set your phone to one of these
GPS privacy options.

Portable Radio Product Operation and EME Exposure
To assure optimal radio product performance
and make sure human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy is within the
guidelines set forth in the above standards,
always adhere to the following procedures:
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.
Phone Operation
Body-worn operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your
radio product as you would a wireline telephone.
Speak directly into the microphone.
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, 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 for this product.
Use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may
exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do
not use a Motorola approved body-worn
accessory 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, then ensure the
antenna and the radio product are kept the
following minimum distances from the 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
Push-To-Talk (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).

body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest
SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the
ear is 0.59 W/kg and when tested on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 1.32 W/kg during packet
data transmission. (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements.)2
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It
is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by
the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for
the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC
and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID
AZ489FT5846.
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

Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.

1.6W/kg. 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 required
to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
1 In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for
mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it
must be tested and certified to the FCC that is does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the

Hearing Aids
For Vehicles with an Air
Bag
Some digital wireless radio products may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your hearing
aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives. For more
Hearing Aid Compatibility information, see
“Hearing Aid Compatibility” on page 176.
Do not place a portable radio product in the area
over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio
is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air
bag inflates, the radio product may be propelled
with great force and cause serious injury to
occupants of the vehicle.
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 RF
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you
in obtaining this information.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio product prior to entering any
area with a potentially explosive atmosphere,
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).
Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such
areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive

172
Operational Cautions
Note: The areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres referred to above include
fueling areas such as below decks on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such
as grain, dust or metal powders, and
any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres are often but
not always posted.
Operational Cautions
!
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or
bodily injury, such as burns if a conductive material
such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches
exposed terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any
charged battery, particularly when placing it inside
a pocket, purse, or other container with metal
objects. To reduce the risk of injury, batteries
should not be exposed to fire, disassembled, or
crushed.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting
operations, turn off your radio product when you
are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area,
or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey
all signs and instructions.
Cleaning and Drying Considerations
Using a leather carry case may help protect the
surfaces and help prevent liquids (e.g., rain) from
entering into the interior of the radio product. This
product is not water proof, and exposing the unit to
liquids may result in permanent damage to the unit.
For Phones With Music Players
Listening to music at high volumes over extended
periods of time may be harmful to a user's hearing.
User should take precautions to minimize this risk
by moderating volume levels. If you experience
ringing or other hearing-related discomfort, lower
volume or discontinue use.
If your radio product interior gets wet, then do not
try to accelerate drying with the use of an oven or a
dryer as this will damage the radio product and
void the warranty. Instead, do the following:
1 Immediately power off the radio product.

Hearing Aid Compatibility
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 mobile phone with a
higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise
levels in the hearing device. Evaluate your
personal needs by trying out the mobile phone with
your hearing device.
Hearing Aid
Compatibility
When some mobile phones are used with certain
hearing devices (including hearing aids
andcochlear implants), users may detect a noise
which can interfere with the effectiveness of the
hearing device.
“M” Rating: Mobile phones rated M3 or M4 meet
FCC requirements for hearing aid compatibility and
are likely to generate less interference to hearing
devices than phones that are not labeled. (M4 is
the “better” or higher of the two ratings.)
Some hearing devices are more “immune” than
others to this interference noise, and mobile
phones can also vary in the amount of interference
noise they may generate at any given time. ANSI
standard C63.19 was developed to provide a
standardized means of measuring both mobile
phone and hearing devices to determine usability
rating categories for both.
"T" Rating: Mobile phones rated T3 or T4 meet
FCC requirements for compatibility with
telecoil-type ("T Switch" or "Telephone Switch")
hearing devices and are likely to be more usable
with such hearing devices than unrated phones.
(T4 is the "better" or higher of the two ratings.)
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to
assist hearing device users find phones that may
be compatible with their particular hearing device.
Not all mobile phones are rated for compatibility
with hearing devices, but mobile phones that are
rated should have the rating available. This rating
may depend on the position of a retractable
antenna.
Hearing devices may also be measured for
immunity to interference noise from mobile phones.
In some cases, hearing devices can be modified or
“hardened” to improve operation with a mobile
phone. Your hearing device manufacturer or
hearing health professional may help you improve
the interaction of your mobile phone and hearing
device. Not all hearing devices are rated for
compatibility with mobile phones, but hearing
devices that are rated should have the rating
176
available. Be sure to evaluate your personal needs
by trying out this mobile phone with your specific
hearing device, using both antenna positions if
equipped with a retractable antenna.

Position your wireless phone within easy reach.
Be able to access your wireless phone without
removing your eyes from the road. If you receive
an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if
possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.
Driving Safety Tips
“Safety is your most important call!”
Your Motorola wireless telephone gives you the
powerful ability to communicate by voice — almost
anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless phone
service is available and safe conditions allow. But
an important responsibility accompanies that
benefits of wireless phones, one that every user
must uphold.
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.
If you receive an incoming call at an
When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. If you find it necessary to use your
wireless phone while behind the wheel of a car,
practice good common sense and remember the
following tips:
inconvenient time 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.
•
Get to know your Motorola wireless 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.
•
•
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,
place calls when you are not moving or before
pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car
will be stationary. If you need to make a call
while moving, dial only a few numbers, check
the road and your mirrors, then continue.
•
When available, use a hands-free device. If
possible, add an additional layer of convenience
to your wireless phone with one of the many
Motorola Original hands-free accessories
available today.
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 which have
the potential to divert your attention away from
the road.

Your phone can perform many other functions
besides allowing you to make and receive calls.
Do not let these features distract you from
driving. Use them only when it is safe to do so.
Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial
9-1-1 or other local emergency number in the
case of fire, traffic accident or medical
emergencies.
Use your wireless 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 9-1-1 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 assistance or other special
non-emergency wireless number.
