Safety Information
Important: Read this information before using your wireless mobile
phone.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless mobile telephone is a low power radio transmitter and
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency
(RF) signals.
International agencies have set standards and recommendations for the
protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.
•
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP)1996
•
•
Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) DIN-0848
United States Federal Commission, Radio Frequency Exposure
Guidelines (1996)
•
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
These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example,
over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body
of research to develop the updated ANSI standard.
The design of your phone complies with these standards when used as
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage
the phone and may violate local agency regulations.
7
Phone Operation
Normal Operation: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone.
Rotate the antenna so that it points straight up. The antenna will click
into place in one of two positions designed for left- or right-handed use.
Make sure the antenna is fully extended. The antenna should be vertical
to the ground and have a clear unobstructed view of the sky.
Tips on Efficient Operation: For your phone to operate most efficiently:
•
•
•
Rotate and extend your antenna fully.
Make sure the antenna has a clear unobstructed view of the sky.
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.
•
Do not wear the phone on your body while making calls with the
headset accessory in satellite mode. Wearing the phone on the
body can interfere with proper phone operation, since the
antenna requires a clear unobstructed view of the sky to access
®
the Iridium satellite network.
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,
exercise 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 when not in use.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them. Observe the following
guidelines when using your phone while driving.
•
Give full attention to driving—driving safely is your first
responsibility.
•
•
Use hands-free phone operation, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.

Safety Information
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six inches (6") 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 turned ON
•
•
should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference
•
should turn the phone OFF 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 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.
Safety Information
9
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
Airline regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Check and
comply with the policy of your airline regarding the use of your phone
while the aircraft is on the ground.
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.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF and do not remove your battery when you are in
any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. 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 normally would be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine.
ForVehicles 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.

Getting Started
What Is a SIM Card?
Your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is a
small smart card that contains your phone number,
service details, and memory for storing phone book
entries and messages. This means you can use
your SIM card with any phone for the GSM system
or any Motorola product for the Iridium satellite
system, and all calls go on your account.
Note: Your phone has limited functionality without
the SIM card.
GSM SIM Card Capability
If you already have a GSM SIM card and your
service provider has a roaming agreement with the
Iridium satellite system, you can use it in your
satellite telephone. You need an optional Cellular
Cassette to access your local cellular/PCS service.
Note: If you are using a GSM SIM card, you may
not have access to certain features that are specific
to the Iridium satellite system, and vice versa.
SIM Card Protection
You may want to keep your SIM card in your wallet
or purse when you are not using your satellite
phone. This helps keep your personal information
secure and gives you access to your service even if
your phone is not available. If you forget your
phone, insert your SIM card into a friend’s phone to
access your personal service.
Caution: Do not bend or scratch your SIM card,
and avoid exposing your card to static electricity,
water, or dirt.
Getting Started
27

OrganizingYour Phone Book
Each name and phone number in your phone book
is stored in a numbered memory location. The
satellite phone has two types of memory—phone
memory and SIM card memory.

SIM card capacity varies depending upon the card issued by
your service provider.
Your phone’s memory can seem overwhelming if
you do not have a strategy for organizing your
phone book. Begin setting up your phone book by
asking yourself three questions:
Which numbers do I call most?
Make a list of the numbers you call most frequently.
You will probably want to store these numbers in the
first nine memory locations of your phone book. You
can then dial them with a single keystroke by using
one-touch dialing (satellite mode only).
78
Managing the Phone Book
When do I use these numbers?
Group the numbers on the list according to when
you use them. Most people call a different set of
numbers during the day than they do in the evening
and on weekends. You can switch one-touch
dialing to your phone’s memory (locations 1–9),
your SIM card’s memory (locations 101–109), or to
your fixed dial list (locations 1–9). Store your
evening and weekend numbers on one type of
memory and your daytime numbers on another.
Which numbers do I need to keep
secure?
Use your SIM card to store the numbers you need
to keep secure, like the numbers of friends and
family members. You can remove your SIM card
and keep it securely in your wallet or purse when
you are not using your phone. If you wish, you can
even require a PIN code every time your SIM card
is inserted into any phone. (To deactivate your PIN
PIN Code” on page 157.) Store more public
numbers, like business associates and travel
agents in your phone’s memory.
Tip: If you have
many entries,
group them in
blocks of ten to
make them
easier to find.

Using Pauses in Numbers
When you call automated systems, a recorded
message prompts you for numbers such as PIN
numbers and account numbers. You can store
these numbers in the same memory location as the
automated system’s access number. Separate the
numbers with “pauses”—special characters that tell
your phone to wait a few seconds before sending
additional numbers—and store the string in the
same way you would other numbers.

You can save time when you dial by storing the
prefixes that you often use. This is sometimes

Phone Behavior by Mode
Preferred (Automatic) Modes
When you select a preferred mode, your phone
looks for that type of service first. If it cannot find
your preferred service, after about five minutes, it
switches automatically to your non-preferred
service. If the phone switches to a non-preferred
service, it checks at regular intervals (every 30
minutes) to see if your preferred service has
become available. The exact intervals that your
phone switches modes and checks for preferred
service varies depending on your SIM card. Check
with your service provider.
Note: The phone postpones a switch between
modes while you are in a call or are actively using
one of the phone’s features.
Always (Manual) Modes
If you select an always mode, your phone always
accesses that type of service. If you become
out-of-range in that mode, the phone does not
switch to the other type of service. You have to
manually switch it to the other mode by changing
the settings in this menu.
