Important
cellular telephone.
First introduced in 1984, the hand-held 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 your phone,
please observe these guidelines:
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.
Exposure
to Radio
Frequency
Energy
European and International agencies have set standards and
recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF elec-
tromagnetic energy.
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
• Verband Deutscher Electringenieure (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 Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6
9
Safety Information
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evalua-
tions 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).
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unautho-
rized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the
phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Antenna
Care
Normal Position:
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation:
• 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.
Batteries
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, exer-
cise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it
inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects. When
the battery is detached from the phone, your batteries are packed with a
protective battery cover; please use this cover for storing your batteries
10
Safety Information
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in Driving
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 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 con-
sistent 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 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.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufac-
turer 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.
For Vehicles An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including
Equipped
with an Air
Bag
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.
12
Safety Information
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require. Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.
Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF Blasting
Areas
when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way
radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. 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 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 powders; and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Potentially
Explosive
Atmospheres
Your Motorola cellular radiotelephone is designed for excellent
durability under normal use conditions. Protect your cellular tele-
phone from water damage that could result from spills or excessive
exposure to rain. Never submerge your cellular phone.

Installing the Battery
To get started, just slip the battery out of its cover, install the
battery and charge the battery.
Battery
Covers
Your phone’s battery is shipped uncharged and encased in a
protective cover. This handy cover keeps conductive material
from touching the battery terminals and reduces the risk of
injury or damage from a short circuit (see page 9). It’s a good
idea to keep your batteries covered when they’re not being used.
Removing the Battery Cover
1. Pull the release latch
back toward the
battery.
2. Lift the battery out.
Attaching the Battery Cover
The battery fits into its cover like a ski boot fits into a ski.
1. Place the battery’s “toe” into
the compartment as shown.
2. Press its “heel” down until
you hear it snap into place.

Charging the Battery
Using Your
AC Wall
Charger
Using the AC Wall Charger, you can plug your phone directly
into a power supply and charge the attached battery—
whether the phone is ON or OFF. When the AC Charger is in
use and the phone is ON, you can still place and receive calls
as long as the battery is not completely drained. Just remem-
ber, talking on the phone requires power, so charging will take
more time.
1. Plug the AC Wall Charger into the accessory connector on
the bottom of your phone as shown, with the release tab
facing up.
2. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet.

Charging the Battery
™
Your StarTAC phone’s Standard Battery charges in three to Charging
Times
four hours using the AC Wall Charger. A Lithium Ion battery
can be charged with a Rapid Charger in one to two hours.
Charging times are affected by:
• Temperature Batteries should be at or near room
temperature when charging. To prolong battery life and
charge capacity, avoid exposing your batteries to tempera-
tures 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.
• Extended Usage Over extended periods of time, batteries
gradually wear down and require longer charge-times.
This is normal. If you’ve been charging your battery regu-
larly and notice a decrease in talk-time or an increase in
charge-time, then it’s probably time to purchase a new battery.
• Nickel Metal Hydride batteries should never be left in the

• Lithium Ion batteries can be left in the charger as long as
you like.

Pause
Dialing
If you often find yourself calling voice mail, bank-by-phone
or other automated calling systems, you’ll appreciate the
convenience of Pause Dialing. Simply save the numbers as a
linked sequence, and you’ll never need to enter them again!
Here’s how it works: when you call automated phone sys-
tems, a recorded message prompts you for PIN numbers,
account numbers, etc. You can store these numbers in your
phone’s memory along with the automated system’s access
number. Just separate them with a pause (o) – a special
character that tells your phone to wait before sending addi-
tional numbers.

Your phone can operate on two different home systems. If
you travel often, you can have your phone programmed with
two cellular numbers to reduce roaming. This feature allows
you to change your active number to the one appropriate for
the area you’re in.
In most areas, there are two competing cellular carriers: the
“wireline” carrier and the “non-wireline” carrier. Each time
you turn your phone ON, you’ll see a message in the display
that indicates which phone number and which type of car-
rier are currently active.

Accessory Options
™
An exciting line of StarTAC brand phone accessories, now smaller and lighter than
ever, can enhance and personalize your cellular experience.
Batteries
Lithium Ion batteries are different from other
batteries in that you can leave them in the
charger as long as you like. Nickel Metal Hydride batteries should not be left in the
Cigarette Lighter Adapter
With the cigarette lighter adapter, you can power your phone
and charge its battery directly from your vehicle’s cigarette
lighter! In some cars, the engine must be running in order for
the cigarette lighter to operate.
Desktop Charger and Rapid AC Adapter
The desktop charger is designed for optimal performance
when used with the Rapid AC Adapter shown here. The desk-
top charger’s front pocket charges the battery while it’s in
your phone, and the rear pocket charges a battery by itself.
Headset
The headset provides both an earphone and microphone in one
small piece for simple hands-free and private telephone conversa-
tions. The convenient 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.
PCMCIA Modems
These compact modems are made for mobility and plug directly into the bottom of your
StarTAC phone, so you can send and receive faxes, e-mail and data. The PCMCIA modem
works with data devices using a standard PCMCIA Type II slot.
84
Accessory Options
*
Hands-Free Adapter Kit
The optional Hands-Free Kits give you the convenience of full duplex 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 powers the phone and charges its battery whenever your car’s
engine is running. An optional external antenna can improve your signal reception
and boost performance.
*
3-Watt Vehicle System
™
The 3-Watt Vehicular Kit for the StarTAC phone delivers a full 3-watts of power. This
booster works behind the scenes to increase performance, especially in fringe areas.
3-Watt Vehicular Kit components:
• Hands-Free phone holder with battery charger
• External microphone
• External speaker
• 3-watt booster
• External antenna (not included)
We recommend genuine Motorola batteries and accessories. Under its cellular tele-
phone warranty, Motorola specifically disclaims any responsibility for damage caused
by the use of portable cellular telephone accessories not manufactured by Motorola.
