Safety and General Information
 
12 
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.
Phone Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone as you 
would a wireline telephone. Speak directly into the 
microphone.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you 
wear a phone on your body when transmitting, always place the 
phone in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, 
holster, case, or body harness for this product. Use of 
non-Motorola-approved accessories may exceed FCC RF 
exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn 
accessory, and are not holding the phone in the normal 
use position at the ear, ensure the phone and its 
antenna are at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from 
your body when transmitting.
Data Operation
When using any data feature of the phone, with or without an 
accessory cable, position the phone and its antenna at 
least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body.

Safety and General Information 
Electromagnetic Interference/
Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to 
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, 
designed, or otherwise conÞgured for electromagnetic 
compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility 
conßicts, turn off your phone in any facility where posted notices 
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be 
using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your phone when on board an 
aircraft. Any use of a phone must be in accordance with 
applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced  Medical Technology Association  recommends  that 
a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be 
maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a 
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the 
independent research by, and recommendations of, the United 
States Food and Drug Administration.
User.Guide.Tarpon.book  Page 13  Thursday, April 26, 2001  2:23 PM 
						

							Safety and General Information
14Persons with pacemakers should:
¥ ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches 
(15 centimeters) from your pacemaker when the phone is 
turned ON.
¥ NOT carry the phone in the breast pocket.
¥ use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the 
potential for interference.
¥ turn OFF the phone immediately if you have any reason to 
suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing 
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult 
your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the 
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately 
shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist 
you in obtaining this information.
Safety and General
Use While  Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the area 
where you drive. Always obey them.
When using your phone while driving, please:
¥ give full attention to driving and to the road.

							15
Safety and General Information 
¥ use hands-free operation, if available.
¥ pull off the road and park before making or answering a 
call if driving conditions so require.
Operational Warnings
For Vehicles With an Air Bag
Do not place a portable phone in the area over an air bag or in 
the air bag deployment area. Air bags inßate with great force. If 
a portable phone is placed in the air bag deployment area and 
the air bag inßates, the phone may be propelled with great force 
and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially 
explosive atmosphere, unless the phone is a model speciÞcally 
identiÞed as being ÒIntrinsically Safe.Ó Do not remove, install, or 
charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive 
atmosphere can cause an explosion or Þre resulting in bodily 
injury or even death.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred 
to above include fueling areas such as below decks 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. Areas with potentially 
explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.

Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn OFF 
your phone when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a 
blasting area, or in areas posted: ÒTurn off two-way radio.Ó Obey 
all signs and instructions.
Operational Cautions
Antennas
Do not use any portable phone that has a damaged 
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your 
skin, a minor burn can result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury 
such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or 
beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The conductive 
material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and 
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, 
particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other 
container with metal objects.
