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 Commissions (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) C95.1 1992

• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement

(NCRP) Report 86 1986

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

(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).

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.

Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may 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

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.

Batteries

Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury, or burns if 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 it is inside your pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. Your batteries are packed with a protective cover. When the battery is detached from the phone, please use this cover for storing your batteries.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where your 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.

Electronic Devices

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 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.

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

FCC regulations prohibit phone usage while in the air. Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft.

7

8



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.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF and 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, but are not limited to, 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 would normally 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.

About Your Batteries

Your 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 battery or battery combination to fit your needs. You can even extend your talk-time by attaching an auxiliary battery at any time, without interrupting your call.

Battery Talk- and Standby-Times

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

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

Holster

The StarTAC phone is so small and light, it’s positively wearable. Slip it in and clip it on—for the ultimate in hightech fashion.

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.

When you use the headset, your phone’s intelligent circuitry automatically enables the Multiple Key Answer feature

(page 82), so you can answer calls with any key on the side of your phone. You can even use the Smart Button to end calls. You’ll never need to open your phone to take a call.

With the headset in place, closing the phone will not end a call. This allows you to store the phone conveniently during the call. To end a call while using the headset, press the

Smart Button twice or press º .

PCMCIA Modems

These compact modems are made for mobility and plug directly into the bottom of your StarTAC phone, so you can send and receive FAXes, e-mail and data. The PCMCIA modem works with data devices using a standard PCMCIA

Type II slot.

Hands-Free Vehicle Kit

The optional Hands-Free Kits give 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 powers the phone and charges its battery whenever your car’s engine is running. An optional external antenna can improve your signal reception and boost performance.

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 pages 11-18 for more information about batteries and charging. Be sure to press and hold

¡.

Q.

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

A.

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 will 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.

Also remember that battery performance varies greatly between digital mode and analog mode. See the table on page 11.

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 page 56 for more information on this feature.)

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.

Q.

The display says, “Locked.” How do I unlock my phone?

A.

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 ”Using Lock/Security Features” on page 63 for more information on Security Features.)

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

æ

before ending your call attempt, or press

º

and try the call again later. (See ”Redialing a Number” on page 25 for more information on redialing.)

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. You may have dialed the number too soon after turning the phone on. Wait until the NS indicator goes out 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 you’re clear of any obstructions such as bridges, parking garages, or tall buildings.

Q.

I am in my home service area, but the Roam indicator is on.

A.

If your phone is programmed with more than one telephone number, you might not have switched to the number appropriate for your current location. Press

‰

,

»

,

¬

to switch to the other number. See

”Switching Between Numbers” on page 77 for more information on multiple phone numbers.

Q.

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

A.

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 on page 62 to turn the Scratchpad tones on.

Q.

What if my phone beeps several times after power up?

A.

The phone is programmed for Call ReceiveOff. See ”Blocking Incoming Calls” on page 81 for information.

Q.

I tried to place a calling card call using the internal Phone Book, but it didn’t work.

A.

You may have turned off your Scratchpad tones. Follow the directions in ”Turning Scratchpad Tones On and

Off” on page 62 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 page 47, 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.

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).
