adequate safety protection), Motorola provides holograms on its batteries.
Consumers should confirm that any battery they purchase has a “Motorola Original”
hologram.
Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded batteries and
chargers.
Motorola mobile devices are designed to work with Motorola batteries.
If you see a message on your display such as Invalid Battery or Unable to Charge, take
the following steps:
Remove the battery and inspect it to confirm that it has a “Motorola Original”

hologram;

If there is no hologram, the battery is not a Motorola battery;
If there is a hologram, replace the battery and retry charging it;
If the message remains, contact a Motorola Authorized Service Center.
Important: Motorola’s warranty does not cover damage to the phone caused by
non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers.
Warning: Use of a non-Motorola battery or charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
PROPER AND SAFE BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
Proper battery disposal is not only important for safety, it benefits the environment.
Consumers may recycle their used batteries in many retail or service provider
locations. Additional information on proper disposal and recycling may be found on
the Web:
• www.motorola.com/recycling
• www.rbrc.org/call2recycle/
(in English only)
Disposal: Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Contact your local recycling center or national recycling
organizations for more information on how to dispose of batteries.
Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may
explode.

battery charging

Notes for charging your phone’s battery:
When charging your battery, keep it near room temperature. Never expose

batteries to temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F) when
charging.

New batteries are not fully charged.
New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge.
Motorola batteries and charging systems have circuitry that protects the battery

from damage from overcharging.

Specific Absorption Rate
Data

SAR Data

This model wireless phone meets the government’s
requirements for exposure to radio waves.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and by the
Canadian regulatory authorities. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age or health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC and by
the Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 W/kg.

1

Tests for SAR are conducted using

standard operating positions accepted by the FCC and by Industry Canada with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only

53

the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the U.S. and Canada, it
must be tested and certified to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not exceed
the limit established by each government for safe exposure. The tests are performed
in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) reported to the FCC
and available for review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this model
phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.45 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 0.69 W/kg. The SAR value for this product in its data
transmission mode (body-worn use) is 0.2 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available accessories and regulatory
requirements).

2

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the governmental requirements for safe exposure.
Please note that improvements to this product model could cause differences in the
SAR value for later products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the
guidelines.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site:
http://www.phonefacts.net
or the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) Web site:
http://www.cwta.ca

1. In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is

1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements.

2. The SAR information includes the Motorola testing protocol, assessment

procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this product.

Safety and General
Information

Safety Information

This section contains important information on the safe and efficient
operation of your mobile device. Read this information before using your
mobile device.

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

Your mobile device contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives
and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your mobile device, the
system handling your call controls the power level at which your mobile device
transmits.
Your Motorola mobile device is designed to comply with local regulatory
requirements in your country concerning exposure of human beings to RF energy.

Operational Precautions

For optimal mobile device performance, and to be sure that human exposure to RF
energy does not exceed the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always
follow these instructions and precautions.

Product Operation

When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your mobile device just like you would
a landline phone.
If you wear the mobile device on your body, always place the mobile device in a
Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness. If you do
not use a body-worn accessory supplied or approved by Motorola, keep the mobile
device and its antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body when
transmitting.
Using accessories not supplied or approved by Motorola may cause your mobile
device to exceed RF energy exposure guidelines. For a list of Motorola-supplied or
approved accessories, visit our Web site at: www.motorola.com.
