Safety Information

Important: Read this information before using your wireless handheld phone.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

In August 1996, The Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:

•

•

American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

IEEE. C95. 1-1992

National Council on Radiation Protection and

Measurement (NCRP). Report 86

•

•

International Commission on Non-Ionizing

Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996

Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature.

For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards). For additional information concerning exposure to radio frequency signals, see the statement by the FDA at the end of this user guide. vii

TDMA.book Page viii Friday, April 7, 2000 4:45 PM

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 one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Motorola accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone andmay violate

FCC regulations.

Phone Operation

Normal Operation

Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

Tips on Efficient Operation

Observe the following guidelines to operate your phone most efficiently.

•

•

Extend your antenna fully, if applicable.

Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.

Batteries

Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury, or burns if a conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. When the battery is detached from the phone, your batteries are viii

TDMA.book Page ix Friday, April 7, 2000 4:45 PM packed with a protective battery cover; please use this cover for storing your batteries when not in use.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Observe the following guidelines when using your phone while driving.

• Give full attention to driving--driving safely is your first responsibility.

•

•

Use hands-free phone operation, if available.

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

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from

RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches

(6") be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless

Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

• should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON

•

•

• should not carry the phone in a breast pocket should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference should turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place ix

TDMA.book Page x Friday, April 7, 2000 4:45 PM

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

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 external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

Aircraft

Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.

Airline regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Check and comply with the policy of your airline regarding the use of your phone while the aircraft is on the ground.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio." Obey all signs and instructions.

x

TDMA.book Page xi Friday, April 7, 2000 4:45 PM

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF, do not remove your battery when you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions.

Sparks from your battery 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. They include: fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where fuel odors are present (for example, if a gas/propane leak occurs in a car or home); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you normally would be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

An air bag inflates with great force. Do NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Using the Battery

About Your Batteries

Your TDMA digital StarTAC™ phone can use either

Lithium Ion (LiIon) or Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. Batteries are available in these sizes:

Slim, Standard, and Extra Capacity.

Your phone can use two batteries at the same time.

You can use:

• any single main or auxiliary battery or

• a main and auxiliary battery combination to fit your needs. You can even extend your talktime by attaching an auxiliary battery at any time, without interrupting your call.

Battery Talk-Time and Standby-Time

Talk-time is the time you can talk on your phone before the battery is fully discharged. Standby-time is the time your phone is on but not used for talking.

Notes:

• Talking on the phone uses more power than leaving it idle. The more power you use for talking, the less you’ll have for standby-time, and vice-versa.

• All times are approximate and depend on the battery used, network configuration, signal strength, and the features selected.

• Talk and standby times are lower in analog mode.

• Your phone operates more efficiently in

Digital mode. If the icon is displayed in the lower left corner, your phone’s

15

Reference Information

Accessory Options

An exciting line of Motorola TDMA digital StarTAC™ accessories, now smaller and lighter than ever, can enhance and personalize your cellular experience.

Batteries

If your cellular phone is quickly becoming your companion, an optional auxiliary battery gives your phone a boost. Auxiliary batteries attach to the back of your phone and provide extra talk time in addition to your main battery. See “Battery Talk-Time and Standby-Time” on page 15 for battery talk-times and standbytimes.

Note: Nickel Metal Hydride batteries should not be left in the charger for more than 24 hours.

Vehicle Power Adapter

With the vehicle power adapter, you can power your phone and charge your phone’s battery directly from your vehicle’s power adapter plug! In some cars, the engine must be running in order for the power adapter plug to operate.

114


Desktop Charger (AC Adapter required)

The desktop charger is designed for optimal performance and compatibility with Motorola’s new generation of cellular telephones. The desktop charger’s pocket can charge batteries while they are attached to or separate from your phone. Now it is easy to rotate batteries and always have a charged spare.

Holster

Your TDMA digital StarTAC™ phone is so small and light, it is positively wearable. Slip it in and clip it on—for the ultimate in high-tech fashion.

Notes:

• The holster is designed for your convenience and is not meant to secure your phone under all circumstances.

• For body-worn use, keep the antenna at least one inch from your body when transmitting.

Headset

The convenient headset provides both an earphone and microphone in one small piece for simple hands-free and private telephone conversations.

The headset plugs directly into the jack on the top of your phone, so that you can wear your phone and move freely. Place the foam cover on the earpiece for a more comfortable fit.

115


Hands-Free Vehicle Kit

The optional Hands-Free Kit gives you the convenience of hands-free, speaker phone operation while in your car. Full duplex operation lets you simultaneously talk and listen, so both parties can interrupt each other for a normal sounding conversation.

The Hands-Free Kit automatically powers your phone and charges its battery (even when your car’s engine is turned off). The Hands-Free Kit also includes a required external antenna that can improve your signal reception and boost performance.

Note: The use of wireless telephones and their accessories (devices) may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas. Always obey the laws and regulations on the use of these devices.

Accessory Limited Warranty

Information

We recommend that you use Motorola original batteries and accessories. Under its limited cellular telephone warranty, Motorola specifically disclaims any responsibility for damage caused by the use of portable cellular telephone accessories not manufactured by Motorola.

For details on the complete line of Motorola cellular accessories, see your dealer or visit our Web site at http://www.mot.com/.

Troubleshooting

Question Answer

I pressed the power button, but nothing happened.

What’s wrong with my phone?

Make sure that you press and hold the power button until the display appears and you hear an audible alert. If nothing still happens, then check that you have installed a battery and that the battery is charged. For more information about batteries and charging see the sections on batteries starting with “Installing and

Removing Batteries” on page 19.

My battery didn’t last as long as I expected. What can I do to extend battery life?

Your battery’s “talk-time” and “standby-time” are relative measurements of the battery’s capacity. The more you talk on the phone, the less standby-time you have, and vice versa.

To get the most from your battery, allow it to charge fully. To charge the battery to 100% of its capacity, leave it in the charger for an extra hour after the charger’s light turns green.

You can also turn on the Power Save Mode feature to extend battery life. However, the LED Power/Status

Indicator does not light when this feature is activated.

Certain features demand power from your battery and reduce battery life. If you have selected the Automatic

Display of Individual Call Timer feature, the display uses battery power to remain active during each call. Turn this feature off to conserve battery energy. (See “Displaying the Individual Timer Automatically” on page 66 for more information on this feature.)

Make sure that you are using batteries that are compatible with your phone.

Exposing your battery to extreme temperatures—below

-10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F)—can shorten battery life. Batteries are especially sensitive to high temperature extremes. As a good rule, always take your phone with you when you leave your car.

The display says,

“Locked.” How do I unlock my phone?

Enter the last three digits of your cellular number. If that doesn’t work, use the factory preset lock code: 123. If all else fails, call your service provider (the company that sends you your monthly cellular bill) for assistance. (See

“Locking/Unlocking Your Phone” on page 78 for more information on Security Features.)

117


Question

I tried to place a call and received an alternating high/low tone.

Answer

I tried to place a call and received a fast busy signal.

This sound means that the cellular system did not process your call. For example, the cellular system may be overloaded with call attempts. To redial the number, press

æ

before ending your call attempt, or press

º

and try the call again later. (See “Redialing a

Number” on page 32 for more information on redialing.)

This sound means your call did not reach the cellular system. You may have dialed the number too soon after turning the phone on. Wait until the “NS” light stops blinking before placing a call.

An alternating tone may also indicate that your phone’s signal is blocked. Make sure you’re clear of any obstructions such as bridges, parking garages, or tall buildings.

I tried to listen to my Voice Mail (or use a paging service, a calling card, etc.) but nothing happened.

You have probably turned off the Scratchpad tones.

Place your call, enter the access numbers when prompted by the recording, then press

‰ æ

. To avoid this problem in the future, follow the directions

“Turning Scratchpad Tones On and Off” on page 74 to turn the Scratchpad tones on.

My phone was stolen. What should I report and to whom?

Report a stolen phone to the police and to your service provider (the company that sends you your monthly cellular service bills).

I tried to place a calling card call using the internal

Phone Book, but it didn’t work.

You may have turned off your Scratchpad tones. Follow the directions in “Turning Scratchpad Tones On and Off” on page 74 to turn the Scratchpad tones on.

Check that you stored your calling card information in the correct order, and make sure the groups of numbers are separated by pauses. The easiest way to correct the sequence may be to start from scratch. Follow the instructions on “Storing Calling Card Information” on page 55, enter your calling card information again, and store it in the same memory location as your previous attempt.

Also keep in mind that when using your calling card, you must enter the number you are calling with the area code, but without the initial “1.” Check with your long distance carrier for details on using your calling card.

The U.S. Food and Drug

Administration's Center for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer

Update on Mobile Phones

FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile phones, including cellular phones and PCS phones. The following summarizes what is known—and what remains unknown—about whether these products can pose a hazard to health, and what can be done to minimize any potential risk. This information may be used to respond to questions.

Why the concern?

Mobile phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy

(i.e., radio frequency radiation) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of radio frequency energy (RF), considered non-significant, when in the stand-by mode. It is well known that high levels of RF can produce biological damage through heating effects

(this is how your microwave oven is able to cook food).

However, it is not known whether, to what extent, or through what mechanism, lower levels of RF might cause adverse health effects as well. Although some research has been done to address these questions, no clear picture of the biological effects of this type of radiation has emerged to date. Thus, the available science does not allow us to conclude that mobile phones are absolutely safe, or that they are unsafe. However, the available scientific evidence does not demonstrate any adverse health effects associated with the use of mobile phones.

132


What kinds of phones are in question?

Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the kind that have a built-in antenna that is positioned close to the user's head during normal telephone conversation. These types of mobile phones are of concern because of the short distance between the phone's antenna—the primary source of the RF—and the person's head. The exposure to RF from mobile phones in which the antenna is located at greater distances from the user (on the outside of a car, for example) is drastically lower than that from hand-held phones, because a person's

RF exposure decreases rapidly with distance from the source. The safety of so-called “cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house and which operate at far lower power levels and frequencies, has not been questioned.

How much evidence is there that handheld mobile phones might be harmful?

Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either way; however, research efforts are on-going. The existing scientific evidence is conflicting and many of the studies that have been done to date have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of RF exposures characteristic of mobile phones have yielded conflicting results. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals.

In one study, mice genetically altered to be predisposed to developing one type of cancer developed more than twice as many such cancers when they were exposed to RF energy compared to controls. There is much uncertainty among scientists about whether results obtained from

133

TDMA.book Page 134 Friday, April 7, 2000 4:45 PM animal studies apply to the use of mobile phones. First, it is uncertain how to apply the results obtained in rats and mice to humans. Second, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had already been treated with cancer-causing chemicals, and other studies exposed the animals to the RF virtually continuously—up to 22 hours per day.

For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone industry has supported research into the safety of mobile phones. This research has resulted in two findings in particular that merit additional study:

1. In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers looked for an association between mobile phone use and either glioma (a type of brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of the nerve sheath). No statistically significant association was found between mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma. There was also no association between mobile phone use and gliomas when all types of types of gliomas were considered together. It should be noted that the average length of mobile phone exposure in this study was less than three years.

When 20 types of glioma were considered separately, however, an association was found between mobile phone use and one rare type of glioma, neuroepithelliomatous tumors. It is possible with multiple comparisons of the same sample that this association occurred by chance. Moreover, the risk did not increase with how often the mobile phone was used, or the length of the calls. In fact, the risk actually decreased with cumulative hours of mobile phone use. Most cancer causing agents increase risk with increased exposure. An ongoing study of brain

134

TDMA.book Page 135 Friday, April 7, 2000 4:45 PM cancers by the National Cancer Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and repeatability of these results.

1

2. Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to assess the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on genetic material. These included tests for several kinds of abnormalities, including mutations, chromosomal aberrations, DNA strand breaks, and structural changes in the genetic material of blood cells called lymphocytes. None of the tests showed any effect of the RF except for the micronucleus assay, which detects structural effects on the genetic material. The cells in this assay showed changes after exposure to simulated cell phone radiation, but only after 24 hours of exposure. It is possible that exposing the test cells to radiation for this long resulted in heating. Since this assay is known to be sensitive to heating, heat alone could have caused the abnormalities to occur.

The data already in the literature on the response of the micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting. Thus, follow-up research is necessary.

2

FDA is currently working with government, industry, and academic groups to ensure the proper follow-up to these industry-funded research findings. Collaboration with the

Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) in particular is expected to lead to FDA providing research recommendations and scientific oversight of new CTIAfunded research based on such recommendations.

Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the literature:

135


1. Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals under laboratory conditions while they performed cognitive function tests. There were no changes in the subjects' ability to recall words, numbers, or pictures, or in their spatial memory, but they were able to make choices more quickly in one visual test when they were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals. This was the only change noted among more than 20 variables compared.

3

2. In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matched controls, there was no increased risk of brain tumors associated with mobile phone use. When tumors did exist in certain locations, however, they were more likely to be on the side of the head where the mobile phone was used.

Because this occurred in only a small number of cases, the increased likelihood was too small to be statistically significant.

4

In summary, we do not have enough information at this point to assure the public that there are, or are not, any low incident health problems associated with use of mobile phones. FDA continues to work with all parties, including other federal agencies and industry, to assure that research is undertaken to provide the necessary answers to the outstanding questions about the safety of mobile phones.

What is known about cases of human cancer that have been reported in users of hand-held mobile phones?

Some people who have used mobile phones have been diagnosed with brain cancer. But it is important to

136

TDMA.book Page 137 Friday, April 7, 2000 4:45 PM understand that this type of cancer also occurs among people who have not used mobile phones. In fact, brain cancer occurs in the U.S. population at a rate of about 6 new cases per 100,000 people each year. At that rate, assuming 80 million users of mobile phones (a number increasing at a rate of about 1 million per month), about

4800 cases of brain cancer would be expected each year among those 80 million people, whether or not they used their phones. Thus it is not possible to tell whether any individual's cancer arose because of the phone, or whether it would have happened anyway. A key question is whether the risk of getting a particular form of cancer is greater among people who use mobile phones than among the rest of the population. One way to answer that question is to compare the usage of mobile phones among people with brain cancer with the use of mobile phones among appropriately matched people without brain cancer. This is called a case-control study. The current case-control study of brain cancers by the National Cancer Institute, as well as the follow-up research to be sponsored by industry, will begin to generate this type of information.

What is FDA's role concerning the safety of mobile phones?

Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiationemitting consumer products such as mobile phones before marketing, as it does with new drugs or medical devices.

However, the agency has authority to take action if mobile phones are shown to emit radiation at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of mobile phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.

137


Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions at this time, FDA has urged the mobile phone industry to take a number of steps to assure public safety. The agency has recommended that the industry:

• support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by mobile phones

• design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for device function

• cooperate in providing mobile phone users with the best possible information on what is known about possible effects of mobile phone use on human health

At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of mobile phone safety to ensure a coordinated effort at the federal level. These agencies are:

• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

• Environmental Protection Agency

• Federal Communications Commission

• Occupational Health and Safety Administration

• National Telecommunications and Information

Administration

The National Institutes of Health also participates in this group.

138


In the absence of conclusive information about any possible risk, what can concerned individuals do?

If there is a risk from these products—and at this point we do not know that there is—it is probably very small. But if people are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, there are simple steps they can take to do so. For example, time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives. Those persons who spend long periods of time on their hand-held mobile phones could consider holding lengthy conversations on conventional phones and reserving the hand-held models for shorter conversations or for situations when other types of phones are not available.

People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars every day could switch to a type of mobile phone that places more distance between their bodies and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, they could switch to:

• a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside the vehicle

• a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to a different antenna mounted on the outside of the car or built into a separate package

• a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone carried at the waist

Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile phones are harmful. But if people are concerned about the radio frequency energy from these products, taking the simple precautions outlined above can reduce any possible risk.
