General Safety Information

Read this information before using your mobile cellular car telephone.

The cellular telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative
electronic products ever developed.  With it you can stay in contact with
your office, your home, emergency services, and others.

For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these
guidelines.

Your mobile cellular telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.  When
the phone is on, the externally mounted antenna is the part of the phone
that sends out and receives radio frequency (RF) energy.  The phone
operates in the frequency range of 824 MHz - 894 MHz and employs commonly
used frequency modulation (FM) techniques.  When you use your phone, the
cellular system handling your call controls the power level at which your
phone transmits. The power level can range from 0.005 of a watt to 3 watts

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy.

In 1991 the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and
in 1992 the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), adopted the 1982
ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF
energy.  Over 120 scientists, engineers, an physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry, after reviewing the available
body of research, developed this updated Standard.  In March, 1993 the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this
updated Standard.  To operate within this updated ANSI Standard, use your
phone as described under 'Safe and Efficient Phone Operation'.

Safe and Efficient Phone Operation.

Do not operate your mobile cellular telephone when a person is within 4
inches (10 centimeters) of the antenna unless that person is shielded from
the antenna by a metal surface such as the roof of the car.  Otherwise you
may impair call quality, may cause your phone to operate at a higher power
level than is necessary, and may expose that person to RF energy in excess
of that established by the updated ANSI Standard.

Antenna Care and Replacement

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.  Replace a damaged antenna
immediately.  Consult your manual to see if you may change the antenna
yourself.  If so, use only a manufacturer-approved antenna.  Otherwise,
have your antenna repaired by a qualified technician.

Use only the supplied or approved antenna.  Unauthorized antennas,
modifications or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC
regulations.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the
areas where you drive.  Always obey them.  Also, when using your phone
while driving, please:

  Give full attention to driving.

  use hands-free operation, if available, and

  pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
  conditions so require.

Vehicle Electronic Equipment

RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with
your vehicle manufacturer's representative to be sure your phone will not
affect the electronic systems of your vehicle.

Children

Do not allow children to play with your phone.  It is not a toy.  Children
could damage the phone, or make calls that increase your telephone bills.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit off when in
a blasting area or in areas posted 'turn off two-way radio'.  Construction
crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your phone off when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere.  It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate
sparks.  Sparks 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. These areas may include fueling areas such as gas stations
fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where you would
normally be advised to turn off your engine.

Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle which contains your phone or accessories.

Vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane)
must comply with National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).  For a copy
of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association, One
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn.: Publications Sales Division.

Other Electronic Equipment

Most modern electronic equipment - for example, personal medical devices,
equipment in hospitals and cars - is shielded from RF energy.  However, RF
energy from cellular telephones may affect some electronic equipment.

Consult your physician or ask the manufacturer of any personal medical
device (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF.

When using your phone as a carry phone, turn it off in health care
facilities when any regulations posted in the areas instruct you to do so.
Always request permission before using your carry phone near medical
equipment.

Aircraft (Carry Phone configuration Only)

Turn your phone off before boarding any aircraft.

  Use it on the ground only with crew permission.

  Do not use it in the air.

To prevent interference with critical aircraft systems.  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
interference with cellular systems, FCC regulations prohibit using your
phone while the plane is in the air.

The design of Motorola's cellular telephones complies with all applicable
RF Safety Standards.

Motorola meets the standards and recommendations for the protection of
public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy established by governmental
bodies and other qualified organizations, such as the following:

  National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). Report
  86.

  Department of Health and Welfare Canada Safety Code 6.

  Verband Deutscher Elektroinigenieure (VDE) DIN-0848.

  Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in Matters
  of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy.

  National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom GS-11, 1988

  American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/IEEE C95.1-1992.

Magnetic Storage Media

Your phone contains a magnet.  Do not place your phone in close proximity
to magnetic storage media such as diskettes or credit cards for extended
periods of time.

Batteries

CAUTION:  To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects to
          contact or short circuit the battery terminals.
