Operation

Safety Information

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

• ANSI C95.1 (1992)*

• NCRP Report 86 (1986)*

• ICNIRP (1996)*

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).

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

Normal Position:

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

Tips on Efficient Operation:

For your phone to operate most efficiently:

• Extend your antenna fully.

• 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.

*American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and

Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

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. Your battery is packed with a protective cover. Please use this cover for storing your battery when not in use.

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.

Also, if using your phone while driving, please:

• Give full attention to driving–driving safely is your first responsibility;

• Use hands-free operation, if available;

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

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic 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 (6”) inches 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.

• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.

Areas


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 they are 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.

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.

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.

12


Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. 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. They include fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); 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.

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.

Your Motorola cellular radiotelephone is designed for excellent durability under normal use conditions. Protect your cellular telephone from water damage that could result from spills or excessive exposure to rain. Never submerge your cellular phone.

Note: The AC adapter and cigarette lighter adapter may or may not have been included with your phone.

1. Plug the AC or cigarette lighter adapter into the accessory connector on the bottom of your phone as shown, with the half moon facing up.

2. Plug the adapter into the appropriate power source.

RELEASE Half moon faces up

Keep in mind: In some cars, the ignition must be ON to use the cigarette lighter.

What you will see:

• The border of the battery icon will flash during charging.

• The battery icon will stop flashing and become solid when the battery is charged and ready to use.


With a Desktop Charger

If you have a desktop charger:

1. Plug the AC adapter, with the half moon facing down, into the back of the charger.

2. Plug the other end of the AC adapter into a wall socket.

You can now begin charging your batteries!

The front pocket can be used to charge a battery by itself or attached to a phone. With dual pocket chargers, you can also charge an extra battery in the rear pocket, as shown:

Desktop Charger Charging Times

The time it takes for your battery to obtain a full charge is affected by a variety of factors, including:

• Temperature Batteries should be at or near room temperature when charging. To prolong battery life and charge capacity, avoid exposing your batteries to temperatures below

10

°

C (14

°

F) or above 45

°

C (113

°

F). As a good rule of thumb, always take your phone with you when you leave your car.

• Inactivity New batteries, or batteries that have been stored for long periods of time, may not rapid charge properly. In these instances, the battery requires an overnight charge.

• Extended Usage Over extended periods of time, batteries gradually wear down and require longer charging times. This is normal. If you’ve been charging your battery regularly and notice a decrease in talk-time or an increase in charging time, then it’s probably time to purchase a new battery.

Battery Storage and Disposal

To prolong the life of your batteries, avoid exposing them to temperatures below -10

°

C (14

°

F) or above 45

°

C (113

°

F).

As a good rule of thumb, always take your phone with you when you leave your car. To dispose of batteries, check with your local recycling center for a battery recycler near you. Never dispose of batteries in fire.

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

Using Memory

Do you have places to go and people to see? Too many phone numbers to remember? Let your phone remember them for you.

Your SC-725 phone’s internal Phone Book can store up to 99 names and numbers for easy access on the go.

In this chapter you will learn how to:

Making the Most of Memory

Each phone number is stored in a “memory location” numbered

01-99. You can arrange your Phone Book for convenient recall by storing related numbers in groups. For example, store your most important numbers in locations 01-09, then you can use the Turbo

Dial ™ keys to call them with the push of a button. Location 01

should be reserved for your Emergency Call number (see page 79).

You can also store names of up to 24 characters, in 2 lines of 12, to help identify phone numbers. Then you can easily recall numbers by either the name or memory location.

If someone you know has more than one phone number, you can organize the entries to quickly find the number you need by using line 1 for the name and line 2 for information unique to that number, as in the example below:

Troubleshooting

Q. I pressed the power button, but nothing happened. What’s wrong with my phone?

A. Check that you have installed a battery and that the battery is charged. See page 16 for

information about installing your battery.

Q. The display says Locked . How do I unlock my phone?

A. Try entering the last three digits of your cellular number. If that doesn’t work, try using 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. For more information on your

phone’s security features, see the Lock/Security chapter, page 76.

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

A. To get the most from your battery, make sure it is fully charged. 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.

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 of thumb, always take your phone with you when you leave your car.

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

A. 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 the

Smart Button or press

æ

before ending your call attempt, or press

º

and try the call

again later. See page 91 for more information on redialing.

101

Troubleshooting

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

A. This sound means your call did not reach the cellular system. Most likely, you dialed the number too soon after turning the phone ON. Wait until the NS indicator disappears before placing a call.

An alternating tone may also indicate that your phone’s signal is blocked. Make sure the antenna is fully extended and move clear of any obstructions, like bridges, parking garages, tall buildings, etc.

Q. My phone started beeping, and the display says: 1 Call Unanswered . What happened?

A. Someone tried to call you while you were in an area where the cellular signal was weak.

Press

Ç

to clear your display, extend your phone’s antenna, and avoid obstructions like tunnels, parking garages and tall buildings whenever possible.

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

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