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 previously 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.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Phone
Operation
Normal Position:
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:
• 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.

and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
Safety Information
Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns
Batteries
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 battery is packed with a protective cover.; please use this
cover for storing your battery when not in use.
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:
Driving
• 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
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.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.
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
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.
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.
Safety Information
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.
Blasting
Areas
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; areas where fuel odors are present, i.e. 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.
Potentially
Explosive
Atmospheres
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.
Vehicles
Equipped
with Air
Bags
Your 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.
Equipment
Care
Cleaning of this product should only be done with a damp cloth.

Charging Batteries
Using the Internal Rapid Charger
Believe it or not, there is a battery charger built right into your
phone! To make use of the internal charger, you will need one of
the three available adapters, either a standard AC Adapter, a
rapid rate AC Adapter, or a cigarette lighter adapter.*
Keep in mind: When the internal charger is in use and the
phone is ON, you can still place and receive calls. However,
talking on the phone requires energy, so your phone may not
charge while the call is in progress.
1. Attach
Adapter
to Phone
Plug the AC or cigarette lighter adapter into
the accessory connector on the bottom of
your phone as shown, with the release tab
facing up.
2. Plug In
Adapter
Plug the adapter into the appropriate
power source.

Charging Batteries
Getting Started
The Battery Indicator
In the upper right corner of your phone’s display, there is a
battery indicator filled with three segments. The more segments
you see, the greater the charge.
• The border of the battery icon will flash during charging.
• When both batteries are fully charged, the battery icon will
stop flashing and become solid.
High
Low
Battery Storage and Disposal
To prolong the life of batteries, avoid exposing them to
temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). It is a
good idea to take your phone with you when you leave your car.
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.
Expert Performance (E•P®)Charging System
The E•P system enables your phone’s built-in charger to
communicate with installed batteries and tailor its charging
cycle to optimize performance. If you see Invalid Battery
when you power up the phone, the built-in charger is not able to
communicate with the battery and cannot charge it. There are
several possible reasons for this message. The most likely one is
that the battery is not a Motorola original and it does not have
the appropriate E•P technology. We recommend that you use
only Motorola original batteries and accessories and that you
store your batteries in their protective covers when not in use.
17
Charging Batteries
Using the Desktop Charger
The Desktop Charger’s front pocket can charge batteries while
they are attached to your phone, and the rear pocket can charge
batteries separately.
If you have a Desktop Charger:
Plug the AC Adapter into the back of the
charger, with the release tab facing up.
2. Plug In
Adapter
Plug the other end of the AC Adapter into a
wall socket.
3. Insert

the battery in the rear pocket last.
18
Charging Batteries
Getting Started
Desktop Charger Indicators
The three LED indicators on the left front of the Desktop Charger
let you know the current state of any charging batteries. The first
light provides information on the main battery attached to the
phone, the second on the attached auxiliary battery, and the
third on any battery loaded in the rear pocket.
• Red means the battery is charging.
• Flashing yellow means the battery is waiting to be charged.
• Green means the battery is charged within 90% of its capacity
and can be used. An additional hour of charging will bring
your battery up to 100% capacity.
• Flashing red means the battery is damaged and cannot be
charged.
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). It is a good idea to 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 charge your battery regularly and
notice a decrease in talk-time or an increase in charging
time, then it is probably time to purchase a new battery.

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 of ten.
For example, store your ten most frequently called numbers in
locations 01-09, then you can use the Turbo Dial® keys to call
them with the push of a key. You could store business numbers
in locations 10-19, family numbers in 20-29, friends in 30-39,
and so on.
Using Memory
You can also store names to help identify phone numbers. If
someone you know has more than one phone number, you
could make each number easy to distinguish by storing names
with descriptive labels. You can enter labels using the
alphanumeric keypad or by selecting one of the convenient
preset labels – choose from Home, Work, Mobile, or Pager. See
page 39 for more information.

character that tells your phone to wait before sending additional
numbers.
Storing a Number with Pause Dialing
The pause occupies a one-digit space in your phone’s memory.

Accessory Options
An exciting line of accessories can enhance and personalize your digital
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.
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.
Cigarette Lighter Adapter
Lets you plug into a reliable power source on
the road. Uses your car’s battery to power your
phone and rapid charge its battery at the
same time. The Cigarette Lighter Adapter will
not overcharge 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.

Accessory Options
Desktop Charger
(AC Adapter Required)
Holster
Your Digital StarTAC® phone is so small and
light, it is positively wearable. Slip it in the
holster and clip the holster on– for the ultimate
in high-tech fashion.
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. See pages 92-97 for Call
Options that make using a headset with your phone even
more convenient.
PCMCIA Modems
These compact modems are made for mobility, with cable attachments that plug
directly into the bottom of your Motorola cellular phone. They support fax, e-mail,
and data transmission. The PCMCIA modems work with data devices using a
standard PCMCIA Type II slot.
107
Reference
This charger can be loaded with up to
three batteries. Equipped with one LED
charging status indicator for each
battery, the charger’s front pocket can
charge both a main and an auxiliary
battery attached to a phone, and the
rear pocket can charge one battery by
itself. For use with Lithium Ion, Nickel
Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride
batteries.
Accessory Options
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 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.
Keep in mind: Motorola offers a 3-Watt Vehicular Kit, which includes a 3-watt
booster for analog signals. Since the Digital StarTAC® phone is a digital phone, it is
not compatible with the 3-Watt Kit.
Important: We recommend you use genuine Motorola batteries and accessories.
Under its cellular telephone warranty, Motorola specifically disclaims any
responsibility for damage caused by the use of portable cellular telephone accessories
not manufactured by Motorola.
Zero Install Car Kit
For the quickest and easiest mobile solution, use the Zero Install Car Kit. Just plug
it in, attach the microphone, and you are ready to go!

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 12 for information about installing your battery.
Q. My battery did not 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. It is a good idea to 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 your call was not processed. For example, the
network may be temporarily busy. To redial the number, press the Smart
Button or press æ (or ª) before ending your call attempt, or press º
and try the call again later. See page 97 for more information on redialing.
109
Reference
Q. The display says Locked. How do I unlock my phone?
A. Try entering the last three digits of your cellular number. If that does not
work, try using the factory preset lock code: 123. If this 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 80.
Troubleshooting
Q. I tried to place a call but received an alternating
high/low tone. What does this mean?
A. This sound means your call did not connect to the network. 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. Whenever I turn the phone ON, the display says: Invalid
Battery. What does this mean and why am I not able to
charge the battery?
A. Your cellular phone uses the Motorola Expert Performance (E•P)
Charging System. The E•P system enables the built-in charger to
communicate with attached batteries and tailor its charging cycle to
optimize performance.
If you see Invalid Battery when you power up the phone, the built-in
charger is not able to communicate with the battery and cannot charge it.
You could see this message for several reasons. The most likely one is that
the battery is not a Motorola original and it does not have the appropriate
E•P technology. We recommend that you use only Motorola original
batteries and accessories and that you store your batteries in their protective
covers when not in use.
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 signal was
weak. Press Ç to clear your display, extend your phone’s antenna, and
avoid obstructions like 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).
