charges may apply in accordance with your service plan. Contact your wireless service
provider for details.

Your Location

Location-based information includes information that can be used to determine the
approximate location of a mobile device. Mobile devices which are connected to a wireless
network transmit location-based information. Devices enabled with GPS or AGPS
technology also transmit location-based information. Additionally, if you use applications
that require location-based information (e.g. driving directions), such applications transmit
location-based information. This location-based information may be shared with third
parties, including your wireless service provider, applications providers, Motorola, and
other third parties providing services.

Emergency Calls

When you make an emergency call, the cellular network may activate the AGPS technology
in your mobile device to tell the emergency responders your approximate location.
AGPS has limitations and might not work in your area. Therefore:
Always tell the emergency responder your location to the best of your ability; and
Remain on the phone for as long as the emergency responder instructs you.

Navigation

Navigation

The following information is applicable to Motorola mobile devices that provide navigation
features.
When using navigation features, note that mapping information, directions and other
navigational data may contain inaccurate or incomplete data. In some countries, complete
information may not be available. Therefore, you should visually confirm that the
navigational instructions are consistent with what you see. All drivers should pay attention
to road conditions, closures, traffic, and all other factors that may impact driving. Always
obey posted road signs.

Smart Practices While Driving

Driving Safety

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and their
accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these
devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas—for example, handsfree
use only may be required. Go to www.motorola.com/callsmart
(in English only) for more information.
Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data—almost anywhere, anytime,
wherever wireless service is available and safe conditions allow. When driving a car,
driving is your first responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device while driving,
remember the following tips:
• Get to know your Motorola mobile device and its features such as speed dial,

redial and voice dial. If available, these features help you to place your call without
taking your attention off the road.

• When available, use a handsfree device. If possible, add an additional layer of

convenience to your mobile device with one of the many Motorola Original handsfree
accessories available today.

• Position your mobile device within easy reach. Be able to access your mobile

device without removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an
inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.

• Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,

suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.

• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a “to

do” list or going through your address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility—driving safely.

• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when your car is

not moving or before pulling into traffic. If you must make a call while moving, dial
only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.

• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.

Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations
that can divert your attention away from the road.

• Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or other local emergency number

in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies (wherever wireless phone
service is available).

• Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto

accident, crime in progress, or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call
911 or other local emergency number (wherever wireless phone service is available), as
you would want others to do for you.

• Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance

number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard,
a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency
wireless number (wherever wireless phone service is available).

Privacy & Data Security

Privacy & Data Security

Motorola understands that privacy and data security are important to everyone. Because
some features of your mobile device may affect your privacy or data security, please follow
these recommendations to enhance protection of your information:
• Monitor access—Keep your mobile device with you and do not leave it where others

may have unmonitored access. Use your device’s security and lock features, where
available.

• Keep software up to date—If Motorola or a software/application vendor releases a

patch or software fix for your mobile device that updates the device’s security, install it
as soon as possible.

• Secure Personal Information—Your mobile device can store personal information in

various locations including your SIM card, memory card, and phone memory. Be sure to
