Motorola 12822 (170-1058) Preparation Faxback Doc. # 16751 Please read the safety information following before operating the unit. ESSENTIAL INFORMATION First introduced in 1984, the handheld 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 the phone, observe these guidelines. The 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 824MHz to 894MHz and employs commonly used frequency modulation (FM) techniques. When you use the phone, the cellular system handling your call controls the power level at which the 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 in 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 Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated Standard. The design of the 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 the phone in the most power efficient manner. Efficient Phone Operation For the phone to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with satisfactory call quality: If the phone has an extendable antenna, extend it fully. Some models allow you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However, the 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. Consult your manual to see if you may change the antenna yourself. If so, use only a manufacturer approved antenna. Otherwise, take your phone to a qualified service center for repair. Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations. 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 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-for example, equipment in hospitals and cars-is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from cellular telephones may affect malfunctioning or improperly shielded 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 areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using remote RF monitoring equipment. RF energy may affect malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. 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, 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. 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: fueling areas such as gas stations, below deck 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. Vehicles powered by 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, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publications Sales Division. The design of the cellular telephone complies with all applicable RF Safety Standards. The unit meets the standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy established by governmental bodies and other qualified organizations, such as the following: National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).

Status Indicators - Flash or light steadily to alert you to a number of conditions. Green light (On/Lock) - Flashes slowly to indicate unit is on and fully operative. Flashes quickly to indicate an unanswered call. Lights steadily to indicate unit is locked and will not place calls. In Use - Flashes while a call is in progress. No SVC (No Service) - Flashes or lights steadily if the unit is beyond range of a cellular system. While lit, calls cannot be placed or received (see Service Area, below). If necessary, in areas of weak reception, antenna may be extended. Roam - Flashes if unit is accessing another system for service (see below). 4. Number/Message Display - Displays number and call information. 5. Functions Keys RCL - Recalls stored memory entries. STO - Stores numbers in memory. CLR - Removes characters from display. SND - Places or answers calls. END - Ends calls or exits special features. PWR - Controls power to unit. VOX - Adjusts volume levels of the earpiece and ringer. FCN - Helps access special features. 6. Numeric Keypad - Enters call information. 7. Mouthpiece - To avoid muffled audio when using the Flip Phone, do not apply the mouthpiece to your cheek. Make sure the Flip Phone is clear of obstruction and angled towards your mouth to insure the best possible transmission. (br/all-08/29/95)
