Safety Information  
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 Commissions (FCC)  
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless  
phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previ-  
ously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:  
ANSI C95.1 (1992)*  
NCRP Report 86 (1986)*  
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  
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unautho-  
rized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone  
and may violate FCC regulations.  
Normal Position:  
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the antenna  
pointed up and over your shoulder.  
Phone  
Tips on Efficient Operation:  
Operation  
For your phone to operate most efficiently:  
Extend your antenna fully.  
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.

Safety Information  
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 and  
become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise  
care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside  
your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects. Your battery is  
packed with a protective cover. Please use this cover for storing your battery  
when not in use.  
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, if available;  
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving  
conditions so require.  
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.  
Electronic  
Devices  
Pacemakers  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a mini-  
mum 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 pace-  
maker when the phone is turned 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.  
11  
Safety Information  
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.  
Electronic  
Devices  
Other Medical Devices  
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer  
of your device to determine if they are 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.  
Vehicles  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded  
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or  
its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the  
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.  
Aircraft  
Posted Facilities  
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.  
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone 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.  
12  
Safety Information  
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmo-  
sphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could  
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.  
Potentially  
Explosive  
Atmospheres  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,  
clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline stations;  
below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles  
using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where  
the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal pow-  
ders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off  
your vehicle engine.  
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.  
Air bags  
Your Motorola cellular radiotelephone is designed for excellent durability  
under normal use conditions. Protect your cellular telephone from water  
damage that could result from spills or excessive exposure to rain. Never  
submerge your cellular phone.

Charging the Battery  
With the Internal Rapid Charger  
Believe it or not, there’s a battery charger built right into your  
phone! If your phone came with an AC adapter or cigarette lighter  
adapter, you can plug your phone directly into a power supply and  
charge the battery – whether the phone is ON or OFF. When the  
Internal Rapid Charger is in use and the phone is ON, you can  
still place and receive calls. Just remember, talking on the phone  
requires energy, so charging will take more time.  
Note: The AC adapter and cigarette lighter adapter may or may  
not have been included with your phone.  
1. Plug the AC or cigarette lighter adapter into the accessory  
connector on the bottom of your phone as shown, with  
the half moon facing up.  
2. Plug the adapter into the appropriate power source.

Charging the Battery  
Desktop Charger Charging Times  
The time it takes for your battery to obtain a full charge is affected  
by a variety of factors, including:  
Temperature Batteries should be at or near room  
temperature when charging. To prolong battery life and charge  
capacity, avoid exposing your batteries to temperatures below  
10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). As a good rule of thumb,  
always take your phone with you when you leave your car.  
Inactivity New batteries, or batteries that have been stored for  
long periods of time, may not rapid charge properly. In these  
instances, the battery requires an overnight charge.  
Extended Usage Over extended periods of time, batteries  
gradually wear down and require longer charging times. This  
is normal. If you’ve been charging your battery regularly and  
notice a decrease in talk-time or an increase in charging time,  
then it’s probably time to purchase a new battery.  
Battery Storage and Disposal  
To prolong the life of your batteries, avoid exposing them to  
temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F).  
As a good rule of thumb, always take your phone with you when  
you leave your car. To dispose of batteries, check with your local  
recycling center for a battery recycler near you. Never dispose of  
batteries in fire.  
Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects  
to contact or short circuit the battery terminals.

Using Memory  
Do you have places to go and people to see? Too many phone  
numbers to remember? Let your phone remember them for you.  
Your SC-725 phone’s internal Phone Book can store up to 99  
names and numbers for easy access on the go.  
In this chapter you will learn how to:  
store names and numbers into the Phone Book  
recall phone numbers from memory

Making the Most of Memory  
Each phone number is stored in a “memory location” numbered  
01-99. You can arrange your Phone Book for convenient recall by  
storing related numbers in groups. For example, store your most  
important numbers in locations 01-09, then you can use the Turbo  
Dialkeys to call them with the push of a button. Location 01  
should be reserved for your Emergency Call number (see page 79).  
You can also store names of up to 24 characters, in 2 lines of 12,  
to help identify phone numbers. Then you can easily recall num-  
bers by either the name or memory location.  
If someone you know has more than one phone number, you can  
organize the entries to quickly find the number you need by using  
line 1 for the name and line 2 for information unique to that  
number, as in the example below:

Accessory Options  
An exciting line of SC-725 phone accessories, now smaller and lighter than ever, can enhance  
and personalize your cellular experience.  
Lithium Ion Batteries  
Motorola’s Lithium Ion (LiIon) batteries are high energy-density batteries that offer increased  
capacity and are lighter in weight than similar sized Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal  
Hydride batteries. The LiIon battery is an Expert Performance (E•P) battery. Matching a  
Motorola E•P battery with an E•P charger helps achieve both optimal charge capacity and  
extended battery life.  
Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries  
Nickel Metal Hydride batteries (NiMH) are high-capacity batteries that offer up to 30% more  
talk-time than comparable Nickel Cadmium batteries. To help achieve maximum life and  
capacity for your NiMH battery, do not leave the battery in the charger for more than 24 hours,  
and use only Motorola-approved chargers.  
Slim Nickel Metal Hydride Belt Clip Batteries  
The Slim Nickel Metal Hydride battery features a built-in battery clip, allowing you to  
conveniently clip it onto a belt, purse, etc.  
96  
   
Accessory Options  
E•P Desktop Charger (AC Adapter required)  
This charger has two pockets to charge up to two batteries  
simultaneously. Each pocket has its own sequential  
charging status LEDs. The desktop charger’s front pocket  
can charge batteries while they are attached to your  
phone, and the rear pocket can charge batteries separately. It’s easy to rotate batteries and  
always have a charged spare. For use with Lithium Ion, Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal  
Hydride batteries.  
Intellicharge Rapid Charger  
This charger has two pockets to charge up to two batteries simultaneously. Each pocket of the  
Intellicharge XT charger has its own multi-colored light to indicate that the battery has been  
properly placed in the charger pocket. For use with Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride  
batteries.  
Overnight Charger  
This charger has two pockets to charge up to two batteries simultaneously. Each pocket of the  
overnight charger has its own orange-colored light to indicate that the battery is installed and  
charging properly. For use with Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries.  
Overnight Travel Charger  
The ultimate in “on-the-road” charging convenience! Simply slide and click on the battery in  
the same way you would slide the battery on the phone. Then flip out the AC prongs and plug  
it into a 110V AC electrical outlet. For use with Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride  
batteries.

charge your battery and contains circuitry to protect against overvoltage and power surges in the  
vehicle. In some cars, the engine must be running in order for the cigarette lighter to operate.  
Hands-Free Vehicle Kit  
Optional Hands-Free Kits give you the convenience of hands-free, speaker phone operation  
while in your car. Full duplex operation lets you simultaneously talk and listen, so both par-  
ties can interrupt each other for a normal sounding conversation.  
The Hands-Free Kit powers the phone and rapid charges its battery whenever your car’s engine  
is running.

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.  
See pages 90-91 for Call Options that make using a headset with your SC-725 even more  
convenient. To answer with any key on the side of your phone, you can set Multiple Key  
Answer ON, or use Auto Answer to set your phone to automatically answer after two rings. You  
can even use the Smart Button to end calls (see page 23). You don’t have to open your phone  
to take a call.

Troubleshooting  
Q. I pressed the power button, but nothing happened. What’s wrong with my phone?  
A. Check that you have installed a battery and that the battery is charged. See page 16 for  
information about installing your battery.  
Q. The display says Locked. How do I unlock my phone?  
A. Try entering the last three digits of your cellular number. If that doesn’t work, try using  
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. For more information on your  
phone’s security features, see the Lock/Security chapter, page 76.  
Q. My battery didn’t last as long as I expected. What can I do to extend battery life?  
A. To get the most from your battery, make sure it is fully charged. 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.  
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 of thumb, always take your phone with you when you leave your car.  
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 the  
Smart Button or press  
before ending your call attempt, or press  
and try the call  
æ
º
again later. See page 91 for more information on redialing.  
101  
   
Troubleshooting  
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. Most likely, you dialed the  
number too soon after turning the phone ON. Wait until the NS indicator disappears before  
placing a call.  
An alternating tone may also indicate that your phone’s signal is blocked. Make sure the  
antenna is fully extended and move clear of any obstructions, like bridges, parking  
garages, tall buildings, etc.  
Q. My phone started beeping, and the display says: 1 Call Unanswered. What happened?  
A. Someone tried to call you while you were in an area where the cellular signal was weak.  
Press to clear your display, extend your phone’s antenna, and avoid obstructions like  
Ç
tunnels, parking garages and tall buildings whenever possible.  
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).
