Motorola StarTac-6000 Wearable Cellular Telephone
(170-1234/35/36/37) Regulations & Precautions Faxback Doc. # 51444
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 cellular
radiotelephone user, to observe the applicable regulations when operating
your cellular phone in either country. In addition to these US 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 service provider's tariff (the rates, terms and conditions
of its service). If you wish to use your cellular radiotelephone in both
the U.S. and Canada, please consult with your system operator.
You should remember that your cellular telephone is a radiotelephone,
i.e., it combines both landline 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 landline-only usage.
Some of the major points of consideration are set out below. Please note,
however, that this `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 service provider.
License - If your home system is in the U.S., you do not require a
separate license to operate your cellular radiotelephone. Obtaining a
cellular telephone access number is sufficient to register you as a user.
If you 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
cellular telephone in both the U.S. and Canada, please contact your
cellular service provider.
Denial of Service - A cellular service provider may deny service
temporarily or terminate service for violation of any governmental
regulations or its tariff.
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.
Driving - 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 cellular telephone while the vehicle is in
motion (see Faxback Doc. # 51435).
Consumer Responsibilities - Remember that landline 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 the traditional
landline systems. However, because cellular radiotelephones 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 cellular telephone
calls.
Interference - No person shall interfere with or cause interference to any
radio communication or signal.
Equipment Modifications - Both the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
and the Canadian Department of Communications have type-approved the model
of cellular radiotelephone 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 cellular telephone.
Equipment Care - Your Motorola cellular radiotelephone is designed for
superior durability under normal use conditions. Protect your cellular
telephone from water damage that could result from spills or extensive
exposure to rain. Never submerge your cellular phone.
2,412 Channel Operation (NAMPS)
A high-capacity cellular technology, known as Narrow-Band AMPS (NAMPS), is
available in some markets. This technology operates on a greater number
of channels (2,412) than a standard AMPS system (832).
Your phone has a dual-mode capacity and will automatically operate on
either a NAMPS cellular system or a standard AMPS cellular system.
Your cellular service provider may offer enhanced features relating to the
NAMPS systems, such as Calling Line Identifier, Voice Mail Status, and
Short Messaging.
These messages, when received by your phone, are stored in a special
memory. To review the messages, press [RCL] then press & hold [RCL] then
scroll through the memory.
Enhanced features and 2,412 channel operation are not available in all
markets; check with your cellular service provider for details.
