Safety Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR PHONE
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety
information contained in user guides published prior to July 2000. For information
regarding radio use in a hazardous atmosphere please refer to the Factory Mutual
(FM) Approval Manual Supplement or Instruction Card, which is included with radio
models that offer this capability.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your Personal Communicator contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON,
it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The Personal Communicator
operates at a frequency of 1900 MHz and employs digital modulation techniques.
When you communicate with your Personal Communicator, the output power level is
1.0 watt.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola V100 Personal Communicator is designed to comply with the
following national and international standards and guidelines regarding exposure of
human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal
Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) of the
United States, Report 86, 1986
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
1998
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz
to 300 GHz, 1999
• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications
(Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Exposure) Standard 1999 (applicable
to wireless phones only)
To assure optimal Personal Communicator performance and make sure human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set
forth in the above standards, always adhere to the following procedures:
PORTABLE PHONE OPERATION AND EME EXPOSURE
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate
FCC regulations.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the Personal Communicator is “IN USE.”
Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the Personal Communicator
to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Phone Operation
The Personal Communicator is designed to be used with a headset for talking and
listening. When placing or receiving a phone call, you must use the headset and
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, ensure the antenna is at least one
inch (2.5 cm) from your body when transmitting.
Data Operation
When using any data feature of the Personal Communicator, with or without an
accessory cable, position the Personal Communicator and its antenna at least
one inch (2.5 cm) from the body.
Approved Accessories
For a list of approved Motorola accessories, call 1-800-331-6456 or visit our
website at www.mot.com.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference
(EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for
electromagnetic compatibility.
• FACILITIES
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off
your Personal Communicator 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 Personal Communicator when onboard
an aircraft. Any use of a Personal Communicator 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.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the Personal Communicator more than six inches
(15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when the Personal Communicator is
turned ON.
• not carry the Personal Communicator in the breast pocket.
• use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
• turn the Personal Communicator 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 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 Personal Communicator while driving, please:
• give full attention to driving and to the road.
• 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 inflate with great force. If a portable phone is placed
in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, 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 it is a phone type especially qualified for use in such areas
as “Intrinsically Safe”. Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas.
Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire
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 asgrain, 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 Personal
Communicator when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or
in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” 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 touch 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.

Towers of Hanoi
This game involves skill and logic and is intended for only one player. The skill levels
range from 3 to 7 and indicate the number of disks in the game. The more disks in a
game, the more difficult the game. When you start the game, disks of different
lengths are stacked on a center pole. The object of the game, is to stack the disks in
ascending order with the smallest disk at the top and the largest disk at the bottom.
When you successfully move all disks from the center pole to any other pole, you
win the game.
Game Rules
• Only one disk can be moved at a time.
• You can move only the top disk on the stack.
• Larger disks cannot be stacked onto smaller disks.
How to Play
When you select a new game, enter the skill level you want to play (3 through 7).
1. Press the up portion of ! to select a disk. A gap between disks indicates that
disk has been moved up.
2. Press the left or right portions of ! to move to another pole. A square cursor
above the pole indicates your location.
3. Press the down portion of ! to move selected disk to a new pole.
4. Continue with steps 1 through 3 until you move all disks to a new pole.

Baccarat
The object of this game is to predict which hand will get closest to 9 points, or if
there will be a tie game. The two hands are P for player and B for banker.
Game Rules
The game starts by placing a wager on hand P, B, or whether there will be a tie. Each
player is given 2 cards. A third card may be given to P and/or B.
• The hand with points closest to 9 wins the game. If points total more than 10,
subtract 10 and the remainder is the number of points. For example, 8 (for P) +
8 (for P) = 16; subtract 10 from 16 for a total of 6.
• If either P or B wins, all winning wagers pay evenly. If you win by betting on B,
then B receives a 5% commission. If you win by betting on a tie, you get 8 times
the amount of your wager, otherwise, the wager is returned.
• Ace cards equal one point, tens and face cards (Kings, Queen, and Jacks)
equal zero. All other cards equal the point value stated on the card.
How to Play
1. When a new hand is started, select hand B, P, or a tie, then press (.
2. Enter the amount of the wager, then press (. The wager should be from 5 to
500 points, or your current balance.
3. When prompted, press ( to deal the cards. The cards for both B and P hands
flash and are displayed for a limited time.

Bricks
This fun game is intended for a single player. In this game, there is a set of bricks
at the top of the display, a paddle at the bottom, and a moving ball. The object of the
game is to strike the ball with the paddle, causing the ball to move diagonally and hit
the bricks at the top, without letting the ball hit the bottom boundary. The direction of
the ball is determined by the angle when the paddle hits it, head on or sideways. The
ball can hit more than one brick at a time. When a brick is hit by the ball, it
disappears, increasing the game score by the number of points assigned to that
brick.
The bricks in the fifth row have a point value of 30, the fourth-row bricks are
25 points, third-row bricks are 20 points, second-row bricks are 15 points, and the
first-row bricks are 10 points.
Game Rules
The game ends if the ball hits the bottom boundary or if all bricks are hit.
The paddle area is determined by the left and right boundaries. The paddle will
not wrap around the screen to the other side.
How to Play
When a new game is started, the paddle is located in the center of the screen
in the lower boundary. The ball is located just above the paddle.
• The first movement of the ball is automatic and happens at a random angle.
Thereafter, it moves according to the way in which it hits any surface.
• Use the left and right portion of ! to move the paddle to the left and right.
• The object of the game is to hit all bricks without letting the ball touch the
bottom boundary.
• When a game ends, the screen flashes and the game results are displayed.

Radio Waves Exposure Statement
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of
RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that
were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions reviewed
by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the
closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the governmentadopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use worn on the
body, as described in this user guide, is 0.065 W/kg.**
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching
on FCC ID IHDT6AW1.
________________________________________________________________
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public
and to account for any variations in measurements.
**The SAR information provided to the FCC includes the FCC-accepted Motorola
testing protocol, assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for
this product.
FDA Update for Mobile Phones
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center
for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer
Update on Mobile Phones
FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile phones, including
cellular phones and PCS phones. The following summarizes what is known--and
what remains unknown--about whether these products can pose a hazard to health,
and what can be done to minimize any potential risk. This information may be used
to respond to questions.
Why the concern?
Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (i.e., radiofrequency
radiation) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels
of radiofrequency energy (RF), considered non-significant, when in the stand-by
mode. It is well known that high levels of RF can produce biological damage through
heating effects (this is how your microwave oven is able to cook food). However, it is
not known whether, to what extent, or through what mechanism, lower levels of RF
might cause adverse health effects as well. Although some research has been done
to address these questions, no clear picture of the biological effects of this type of
radiation has emerged to date. Thus, the available science does not allow us to
conclude that mobile phones are absolutely safe, or that they are unsafe. However,
the available scientific evidence does not demonstrate any adverse health effects
associated with the use of mobile phones.
What kinds of phones are in question?
Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the kind that have a
built-in antenna that is positioned close to the user's head during normal telephone
conversation. These types of mobile phones are of concern because of the short
distance between the phone's antenna--the primary source of the RF--and the
person's head. The exposure to RF from mobile phones in which the antenna is
located at greater distances from the user (on the outside of a car, for example) is
drastically lower than that from hand-held phones, because a person's RF exposure
decreases rapidly with distance from the source. The safety of so-called “cordless
phones,” which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house and
which operate at far lower power levels and frequencies, has not been questioned.
How much evidence is there that hand-held mobile phones might be harmful?
Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either way; however, research
efforts are on-going. The existing scientific evidence is conflicting and many of the
studies that have been done to date have suffered from flaws in their research
methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of RF exposures
characteristic of mobile phones have yielded conflicting results. A few animal
studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the
development of cancer in laboratory animals. In one study, mice genetically altered
to be predisposed to developing one type of cancer developed more than twice as
many such cancers when they were exposed to RF energy compared to controls.
There is much uncertainty among scientists about whether results obtained from
animal studies apply to the use of mobile phones. First, it is uncertain how to apply
the results obtained in rats and mice to humans. Second, many of the studies that
showed increased tumor development used animals that had already been treated
with cancer-causing chemicals, and other studies exposed the animals to the RF
virtually continuously--up to 22 hours per day.
For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone industry has supported
research into the safety of mobile phones. This research has resulted in two findings
in particular that merit additional study:
In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers looked for an association
between mobile phone use and either glioma (a type of brain cancer) or acoustic
neuroma (a benign tumor of the nerve sheath). No statistically significant association
was found between mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma. There was also no
association between mobile phone use and gliomas when all types of gliomas were
considered together. It should be noted that the average length of mobile phone
exposure in this study was less than three years.
When 20 types of glioma were considered separately, however, an association was
found between mobile phone use and one rare type of glioma,
neuroepithelliomatous tumors. It is possible with multiple comparisons of the same
sample that this association occurred by chance. Moreover, the risk did not increase
with how often the mobile phone was used, or the length of the calls. In fact, the risk
actually decreased with cumulative hours of mobile phone use. Most cancer causing
agents increase risk with increased exposure. An ongoing study of brain cancers by
the National Cancer Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and repeatability
of these results.(1)
Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to assess the effects of
exposure to mobile phone RF on genetic material. These included tests for several
kinds of abnormalities, including mutations, chromosomal aberrations, DNA strand
breaks, and structural changes in the genetic material of blood cells called
lymphocytes. None of the tests showed any effect of the RF except for the
micronucleus assay, which detects structural effects on the genetic material. The
cells in this assay showed changes after exposure to simulated cell phone radiation,
but only after 24 hours of exposure. It is possible that exposing the test cells to
radiation for this long resulted in heating. Since this assay is known to be sensitive
to heating, heat alone could have caused the abnormalities to occur. The data
already in the literature on the response of the micronucleus assay to RF are
conflicting. Thus, follow-up research is necessary.(2)
FDA is currently working with government, industry, and academic groups to ensure
the proper follow-up to these industry-funded research findings. Collaboration with
the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) in particular is
expected to lead to FDA providing research recommendations and scientific
oversight of new CTIA-funded research based on such recommendations.
Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the literature:
Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals under
laboratory conditions while they performed cognitive function tests. There were no
changes in the subjects' ability to recall words, numbers, or pictures, or in their
spatial memory, but they were able to make choices more quickly in one visual test
when they were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals. This was the only
change noted among more than 20 variables compared.(3)
In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matched controls, there was no
increased risk of brain tumors associated with mobile phone use. When tumors did
exist in certain locations, however, they were more likely to be on the side of the head
where the mobile phone was used. Because this occurred in only a small number of
cases, the increased likelihood was too small to be statistically significant.(4)
In summary, we do not have enough information at this point to assure the public that
there are, or are not, any low incident health problems associated with use of mobile
phones. FDA continues to work with all parties, including other federal agencies and
industry, to assure that research is undertaken to provide the necessary answers to
the outstanding questions about the safety of mobile phones.
What is known about cases of human cancer that have been reported in
users of hand-held mobile phones?
Some people who have used mobile phones have been diagnosed with brain cancer.
But it is important to understand that this type of cancer also occurs among people
who have not used mobile phones. In fact, brain cancer occurs in the U.S. population
at a rate of about 6 new cases per 100,000 people each year. At that rate, assuming
80 million users of mobile phones (a number increasing at a rate of about 1 million
per month), about 4800 cases of brain cancer would be expected each year among
those 80 million people, whether or not they used their phones. Thus it is not possible
to tell whether any individual's cancer arose because of the phone, or whether it
would have happened anyway. A key question is whether the risk of getting a
particular form of cancer is greater among people who use mobile phones than
among the rest of the population. One way to answer that question is to compare the
usage of mobile phones among people with brain cancer with the use of mobile
phones among appropriately matched people without brain cancer. This is called a
case-control study. The current case-control study of brain cancers by the National
FDA Update for Mobile Phones
115
Cancer Institute, as well as the follow-up research to be sponsored by industry, will
begin to generate this type of information.
What is FDA's role concerning the safety of mobile phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer
products such as mobile phones before marketing, as it does with new drugs or
medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if mobile phones
are shown to emit radiation at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case,
FDA could require the manufacturers of mobile phones to notify users of the health
hazard and to repair, replace, or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer
exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions at this time,
FDA has urged the mobile phone industry to take a number of steps to assure public
safety. The agency has recommended that the industry:
• support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type
emitted by mobile phones;
• design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that
is not necessary for device function; and
• cooperate in providing mobile phone users with the best possible information
on what is known about possible effects of mobile phone use on human health.
• At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal
agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of mobile phone safety to
ensure a coordinated effort at the federal level. These agencies are:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Federal Communications Commission
• Occupational Health and Safety Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health also participates in this group.
In the absence of conclusive information about any possible risk, what can
concerned individuals do?
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that there is-
-it is probably very small. But if people are concerned about avoiding even potential
risks, there are simple steps they can take to do so. For example, time is a key factor
in how much exposure a person receives. Those persons who spend long periods
of time on their hand-held mobile phones could consider holding lengthy
conversations on conventional phones and reserving the hand-held models for
shorter conversations or for situations when other types of phones are not available.
People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars every day could
switch to a type of mobile phone that places more distance between their bodies and
the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance.
For example, they could switch to:
• a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside the vehicle,
• a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to a different antenna
mounted on the outside of the car or built into a separate package, or
• a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone carried at the waist.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile phones are harmful. But
people are concerned about the radiofrequency energy from these products, taking
the simple precautions outlined above can reduce any possible risk.

Wireless Phone Safety Tips
“Safety is your most important call!”
Your Motorola wireless telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice—almost anywhere,
anytime, wherever wireless phone service is available and safe conditions allow. But an important
responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. If you find it necessary to use your wireless phone while
behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your Motorola wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial. If
available, these features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add an additional layer of convenience to your
wireless phone with one of the many Motorola Original™ hands-free accessories available today.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless phone without
removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let
your voice mail answer it.
4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in
heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be
hazardous.
5. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time do not take notes or look up phone
numbers while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or going through your address book takes attention
away from your primary responsibility—driving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before
pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need to make a call while
moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
* Wherever wireless phone service is available.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make people you
are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations which have the potential to divert your
attention away from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency number in the case of
fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies.*
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in
progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency
number, as you would want others to do for you.*
10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance number when
necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor
traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside
assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.*
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones and their accessories in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in
certain areas.
