4

Introduction

new telephone. For easy reference the tabs at the edge

suggest that you experiment with them as you progress

through this manual. However, before you begin, please

read the following safety information before operating

your new MICRO T•A•C ELITE cellular phone.

MICRO T•A•C ELITE

Introduction

General Precautions and Safety

IMPORTANT

Read This Information Before Using Your

MICRO T•A•C ELITE Personal Cellular Telephone

First introduced in 1984, the hand-held portable cellular

telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative

electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay

in contact with your ofﬁce, your home, emergency

services, and others.

For the safe and efﬁcient operation of your phone,

observe these guidelines.

Your cellular telephone is a radio transmitter and

receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out

radio frequency (RF) energy. The phone operates in the

frequency range of 824 MHz to 894 MHz and employs

commonly used frequency modulation (FM) techniques.

When you use your phone, the cellular system handling

your call controls the power level at which your phone

transmits. The power level can range from 0.006 of a

watt to 0.6 of a watt.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

In 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics

Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992, the

American National Standards Institute

(ANSI), updated the 1982 ANSI Standard

for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF

energy. Over 120 scientists, engineers and physicians

from universities, government health agencies and

industry, after reviewing the available body of research,

developed this updated Standard. In March, 1993, the

U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

proposed the adoption of this updated Standard.

Essential Information

6

Introduction

The design of your phone complies with this updated

Standard. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure

even further than the updated ANSI Standard, you may

choose to control the duration of your calls and operate

your phone in the most power efﬁcient manner.

Efﬁcient Phone Operation

For your phone to operate at the lowest power level,

consistent with satisfactory call quality, please observe

the following guidelines:

If your phone has an extendible antenna, extend it fully.

Some models allow you to place a call with the antenna

retracted. However, your phone operates more

efﬁciently with the antenna fully extended. Hold the

phone as you would any other telephone. While

speaking directly into the mouthpiece, position the

antenna up and over your shoulder.

Do not hold the antenna when the phone is “IN USE.”

Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause

the phone to operate at a higher power level than

needed.

Antenna Care and Replacement

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a

damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a

minor burn may result. Replace a damaged antenna

immediately; take your phone to a qualiﬁed service

center for repair.

Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Non-

approved antennas, modiﬁcations, or attachments could

impair call quality, damage the phone, and violate FCC

regulations.

MICRO T•A•C ELITE

Introduction

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 (short circuit)

and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any

charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your

pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. To

protect against a short circuit when the battery is

detached from the phone, your batteries contain internal

short circuit protection and are packed in 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 cellular

telephones in the areas where you drive. Some

jurisdictions prohibit your using a cellular telephone

while driving a vehicle. Even if your jurisdiction does not

have such a law, we strongly suggest that, for safety

reasons, the driver use extreme caution when operating

the cellular telephone while the vehicle is in motion.

Always obey them. Also, when using the phone while

driving, please:

•give full attention to driving,

•use hands-free operation, if available, and

•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

energy. However, RF energy from cellular telephones

may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.

RF energy may affect improperly installed or

inadequately shielded electronic operating and

entertainment systems

in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its

representative to determine if these systems are

8

Introduction

adequately shielded from external RF energy. You

should also check with the manufacturer of any

equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical

devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to

determine if they are adequately shielded from external

RF energy.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any

regulations posted in the areas instruct you to do so.

Hospitals or health care facilities may be using

equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Aircraft

Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft.

•Use it on the ground only with crew permission.

•Do not use it in the air.

To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems,

U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations

require you to have permission from a crew member

to use your phone while the plane is on the ground.

To prevent interference with cellular systems, FCC

regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane

is in the air.

Children

Do not allow children to play with your phone. It is not a

toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking

themselves or others in the eye with the antenna for

example). Children also could damage the phone, or

make calls that increase your telephone bills.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your

unit OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted:

“Turn off two-way radio.” Construction crews often use

remote control RF devices to set off explosives.

9

MICRO T•A•C ELITE

Introduction

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a

potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your

phone or its

accessories could generate sparks. 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 gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or

chemical transfer or storage facilities; 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.

Do not transport or store ﬂammable gas, liquid or

explosives in the compartment of your vehicle which

contains your phone or accessories.

Vehicles using liqueﬁed petroleum gas (such as

propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire

Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this

standard, contact the National Fire Protection

Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA

02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.

MICRO T•A•C ELITE

Introduction

The Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride or Lithium

Ion battery supplied with your telephone must be fully

charged before placing your phone into service. The

batteries are shipped from the factory in a discharged

state in order to extend the life of the battery. It is

recommended that you charge new batteries

overnight, but not longer than 24 hours, using a

Motorola-approved charger. For optimum

performance, we recommend you use Motorola-

approved batteries, chargers, and other accessories

with your phone.

Motorola desktop chargers for the MICRO T•A•C

ELITE line of products are dual pocket chargers. The

charger’s front pocket can charge a battery while

attached to the phone or charge a battery on its own.

The charger’s rear pocket will charge any size battery

by itself. See Accessory Options on page 146 for

additional detailed information on the various chargers

and charging times.

WARNING

Battery may explode if disposed of in ﬁre.

CAUTION

To avoid damage to the batteries, do not

place them anywhere that might cause the battery

terminals to short together.

Preparing Battery for Initial Use

16

Introduction

1. Place the

battery on the

phone so that

its grooves

align. Align

the top of the

battery with

the line on the back of the phone

right below the arrows

(approximately 1" from top of

phone). When properly aligned, the

battery will fall into the grooves.

2. Slide upward in the direction of the

arrows on the back of the phone

until it clicks into place. Do NOT

attempt to slide battery on from

bottom of phone.

Standard Method

1. Turn your telephone off.

MICRO T•A•C ELITE

Introduction

Quick Change Battery Removal/Replacement

The quick change method

allows you to remove your

telephone battery at any time

and replace it with a charged

spare battery during a

telephone call.

This is especially useful if

you receive the low battery

warning, ﬂashing battery symbol, or audible tone

during a call. Simply remove the battery from the

telephone, put on the spare battery, and press ∏.

This will return you to your telephone call. The phone

will not go through the normal start-up self tests

described on page 19. You will have only three

seconds to complete this action before your telephone

call is terminated. It is a good idea to practice this

procedure a few times before using it on an actual

call. Advise the party on the other end of the call

before beginning this procedure.

18

Introduction

Basic Operation

1. Extend antenna for optimal
