SAFETY INFORMATION
Important: Read this information before using your wireless handheld phone.
Important Export Information
Because of federal export regulations applicable to this Motorola phone, it cannot be sold for export from the U.S.A. or
Canada. Please read the following important notice.
Export Law Assurances: This product is controlled under the export regulations of the United States of America and
Canada. This product cannot be exported from the United States or Canada without an export license issued by the U.S.
Department of Commerce. In addition to the U.S. license, if this product is to be exported from Canada, an Export Permit
issued by the Canada Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade must be obtained before export.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies:
•
•
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C95.1 1992
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) Report 86 1986
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over
120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available
body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
Antenna Care and Installation
Important: To meet the FCC’s RF Exposure Guidelines, the antenna should be installed so there is at least 20 cm
of separation between people and the antenna.
Safety Information
3
Safety Information
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
Normal Operation
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently when in Portable Mode:
•
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
Batteries
Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury, or burns if conductive material, such as jewelry, keys, or beaded
chains, touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against
such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when it is inside your pocket, purse,
or other container with metal objects. Your batteries are packed with a protective cover. When the battery is detached from the
phone, please use this cover for storing your batteries.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if
using your phone while driving, please:
•
•
•
Give full attention to driving—driving safely is your first responsibility.
Use hands-free operation whenever possible; this is the recommended mode of operation.
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 signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
4
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6") inches be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
•
•
•
•
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is on.
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone off immediately.
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 external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone off in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit phone usage while in the air. Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-
way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Safety Information
5
Safety Information
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF and do not remove your battery when you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and
obey all signs and instructions. Sparks from your battery 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, but are not limited to,
fueling areas such as gasoline stations, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where fuel
odors are present (for example, if a gas/propane leak occurs in a car or home), 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.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the
area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, serious injury could result.

If you subscribe to call waiting and receive a call while another call is in progress, you hear a call waiting
tone, and the caller’s name and number appear on the display. The name and number are automatically
stored and can be viewed after ending the call, using the procedure described in "Reviewing Received
Calls" on page 48.

REFERENCE INFORMATION
Accessory Options
An exciting line of Timeport™ phone accessories, now smaller and lighter than ever, can enhance and

like.
See page 11 for battery talk-times and standby-times.

Desktop Charger (AC Adapter required)
The desktop charger is designed for optimal performance and compatibility with your Mercedes-Benz cellular
telephone. The desktop charger’s front pocket can charge batteries while they are attached to your phone, and the
rear pocket can charge a spare. Now it’s easy to rotate batteries and always have a charged spare.
Holster
The Timeport™ phone is so small and light, it’s positively wearable. Slip it in and clip it on—for the ultimate in
high-tech fashion.
Note:
•
The holster is designed for your convenience and is not meant to secure your phone under all
circumstances.
•
For body-worn use, keep the antenna at least one inch from your body when transmitting.
106
Headset
The convenient headset provides both an earphone and microphone in one small piece for simple hands-free and
private telephone conversations. The headset plugs directly into the jack on the top of your phone, so that you can
wear your phone and move freely. Place the foam cover on the earpiece for a more comfortable fit.
Hands-Free Vehicle Kit
The optional Hands-Free Kit gives you the convenience of hands-free, speaker phone operation while in your car.
Full duplex operation lets you simultaneously talk and listen, so both parties can interrupt each other for a normal
sounding conversation.
The Hands-Free Kit automatically powers your phone and charges its battery (even when your car’s engine is
turned off). The Hands-Free Kit also includes a required external antenna that can improve your signal reception
and boost performance.
Note: The use of wireless telephones and their accessories (devices) may be prohibited or restricted in certain
areas. Always obey the laws and regulations on the use of these devices.

Troubleshooting
Q. I pressed the power button, but nothing happened. What’s wrong with my phone?
A. Make sure that you press and hold the power button until the display appears and you hear an audible alert. Check that you have installed a battery and that the battery
is charged. See pages 11-18 for more information about batteries and charging. Be sure to press and hold ¡.
Q. My battery didn’t last as long as I expected. What can I do to extend battery life?
A. Your battery’s “talk-time” and “standby-time” are relative measurements of the battery’s capacity. The more you talk on the phone, the less standby-time you will
have, and vice versa.
To get the most from your battery, allow it to charge fully. To charge the battery to 100% of its capacity, leave it in the charger for an extra hour after the charger’s
light turns green.
Certain features demand power from your battery and reduce battery life. If you have selected the Automatic Display of Individual Call Timer feature, the display
uses battery power to remain active during each call. Turn this feature off to conserve battery energy. (See page 63 for more information on this feature.)
Exposing your battery to extreme temperatures—below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F)—can shorten battery life. Batteries are especially sensitive to high
temperature extremes. As a good rule, always take your phone with you when you leave your car.
Q. The display says, “Locked.” How do I unlock my phone?
A. Enter the last three digits of your cellular number. If that doesn’t work, use the factory preset lock code: 123. If all else fails, call your service provider (the company
that sends you your monthly cellular bill) for assistance. (See "Using Lock/Security Features" on page 75 for more information on Security Features.)
Q. I tried to place a call and received a fast busy signal.
A. This sound means that the cellular system did not process your call. For example, the cellular system may be overloaded with call attempts. To redial the number,
press æ before ending your call attempt, or press º and try the call again later. (See "Redialing a Number" on page 25 for more information on redialing.)
Q. I tried to place a call and received an alternating high/low tone.
A. This sound means your call did not reach the cellular system. You may have dialed the number too soon after turning the phone on. Wait until the NS indicator goes
out before placing a call.
An alternating tone may also indicate that your phone’s signal is blocked. Make sure the antenna is fully extended (if using in portable mode) and you’re clear of any
obstructions such as bridges, parking garages, or tall buildings.

Reference Information
Reference Information
Q. I tried to listen to my Voice Mail (or use a paging service, a calling card, etc.) but nothing happened.
A. You have probably turned off the Scratchpad tones. Place your call, enter the access numbers when prompted by the recording, then press
‰,æ. To avoid this problem in the future, follow the directions on page 72 to turn the Scratchpad tones on.
Q. What if my phone beeps several times after power up?
A. The phone is programmed for Call ReceiveOff. See "Activating Automatic Hands Free" on page 91 for information.
Q. I tried to place a calling card call using the internal Phone Book, but it didn’t work.
A. You may have turned off your Scratchpad tones. Follow the directions in "Turning Scratchpad Tones On and Off" on page 74 to turn the
Scratchpad tones on. Check that you stored your calling card information in the correct order, and make sure the groups of numbers are
separated by pauses. The easiest way to correct the sequence may be to start from scratch. Follow the instructions on page 54, enter your
calling card information again, and store it in the same memory location as your previous attempt.
Also keep in mind that when using your calling card, you must enter the number you are calling with the area code, but without the initial
“1.” Check with your long distance carrier for details on using your calling card.
Q. My phone was stolen. What should I report and to whom?
A. Report a stolen phone to the police and to your service provider (the company that sends you your monthly cellular service bills).
