class quality standards, and are designed to withstand the harshest environmental

conditions. Our commitment to Total Customer Satisfaction and over sixty five years of

experience in personal communications mean you can depend upon the quality of this

Motorola product.

This cellular telephone incorporates

Personality™. Unique to Motorola, Personality™

removes the complexity of cellular communications by guiding you through the features

and presenting you with simple choices every step of the way.

Personality™ also allows

you to personalise the way you use your phone - for example, different ringer tones, a

phone book and network selection preferences - all presented with clarity and simplicity.

In this manual, each of the

Personality™ features is identified with an O symbol to

indicate that it is customisable to meet your requirements.

This cellular telephone has been designed for use with the worldwide GSM (Global

System for Mobile communications) network. By using digital communications methods,

your phone provides a number of advantages over traditional cellular systems:

• Superior speech quality is attained without the usual background noises and

interference.

• Network encryption of the signal is supported. Conversations cannot be

eavesdropped using scanning equipment when the signal is encrypted.

• You are not restricted to use within one country.

Your subscriber number is not contained within the phone as with other systems.

Instead, a 'Smart Card' known as a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is supplied by your

Cellular Service Provider. All call billing is made to the subscriber number on the card

whether it is used in this or any other GSM unit.

ABefore you use your phone in transportable mode, please ensure that you charge the

battery for at least 14 hours.

Understanding this Manual

EnglishSafety 5

Safety

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 Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) of N. America proposed the adoption

of this updated standard. To operate within this updated ANSI standard, use

your phone as described under "Efficient Phone Operation".

Efficient Phone Operation

Do not operate your transportable cellular telephone when holding the

antenna, or when any person is within 10 centimetres (4 inches) of the

antenna.

Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further than the updated

ANSI standard, you may chose to control the duration of your calls or

maintain a distance from the antenna of more than 10 centimetres (4

inches).

For best call quality, keep the antenna free from obstructions and point it

straight up.

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. Consult your manual to see if you may

change the antenna yourself. If so, use only a manufacturer-approved

antenna. Otherwise, have your antenna repaired by a qualified technician.

Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorised antennas,

modifications or attachments could damage the phone and may contravene

local RF emission regulations or type approval.

IMPORTANT

READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING

YOUR TRANSPORTABLE CELLULAR

TELEPHONE

The 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.

General

For the safe and efficient operation of your phone,

observe these guidelines.

Your transportable cellular telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.

When the phone is ON, it sends out and receives radio frequency (RF)

energy. The phone operates in the GSM frequency range of 890MHz to

960MHz (or DCS 1800 frequency range of 1710MHz and 1880MHz) and

employs commonly used Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) digital

modulation techniques. When you use your phone, the cellular system

handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.

The pulsed power level can range from 0.02 of a watt to 8 watts.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

Research on health effects from RF energy has focused for many years on

FM radio technology. That research and studies regarding newer radio

technologies, such as TDMA, have found no

credible scientific evidence that

adverse health effects result from the use of a portable cellular telephone.

In 1991 the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and in

1992 the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) adopted the 1982

ANSI standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF

energy.

English 6 Safety

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the

areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your 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 electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is

shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy may effect some

malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic equipment.

Vehicle Electronic Equipment

Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to determine if any

on board electronic equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy.

Medical Electronic Equipment

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 area instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be

using RF monitoring equipment.

Aircraft

Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft.

• Use it on the ground only with crew permission.

• Do not use in the air.

To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, 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, local RF regulations prohibit

using your phone whilst airborne.

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 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.

EnglishSafety 7

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

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 fuelling areas such as petrol stations; below

decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; and areas

where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal

powders.

Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives, in the

compartment of your vehicle which contains your phone or accessories.

Before using your phone in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas

(such as propane or butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the

relevant fire and safety regulations of the country in which the vehicle is to

be used.

This Cellular Telephone complies with all

applicable RF safety standards.

This cellular telephone meets the standards and recommendations for the

protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy established by

governmental bodies and other qualified organisations, such as the

following:

• Verband Deutscher Elektroingenieure (VDE) DIN-0848

• Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in

Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy

• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom.

GS-11, 1988.

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/IEEE. C95. 1-1992

• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements

(NCRP). Report 86

• Department of Health and WelfareCanada, Safety Code 6.

Phone Calls

To make or receive a phone call, your phone must be switched

on, unlocked and have the antenna pointing up (transportable

mode).

If the m symbol is showing, your phone has been unable to

find a cellular service. It will not be possible to make or receive

a phone call unless you move to an area where there is a GSM

service. When a service has been found, a series of rising bars,

x, will show the signal strength.

There a number of different ways to make a phone call:

• Using the digit keys.

• Using automatic redial.

• Redialling the last number called.

• One touch dialling a Phone Book entry*.

• Dialling a Phone Book entry*.

• Calling an embedded number in a message.

A*Your phone contains a 'phone book' that can be used to

store names and telephone numbers.

Making a Phone Call

The simplest method of making a phone call is to enter the

number using the digit keys then press O.

AIf you make a mistake, press and release the C key to

remove the last digit. Holding the C key down will

remove the entire number.

Your phone will then attempt to make the phone call. The

display will show Calling to show the call attempt is being

made. If the call is not answered, pressing O or replacing the

handset at this point will end the attempt.

When the phone call is answered, the display will change to

Connected for a few seconds, followed by End Call?.

To end your call press O or C , or replace the handset in
