Safety Information

Important:

Read this information before using your

wireless handheld phone.

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 handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines

are consistent with safety standards previously set by both

U.S. and international standards bodies:

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

C95.1 1992

• National Council on Radiation Protection and Mea-

surement (NCRP) Report 86 1986

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radia-

tion Protection (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).

Welcome

Safety Information (Continued)

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 Operation

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.

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 it

is 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.

Welcome

Safety Information (Continued)

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless

telephones in the areas where your 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 answer-

ing a call if driving conditions so require.

Electronic Devices

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.

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 on.

• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to mini-

mize the potential for interference.

• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is

taking place, turn your phone off immediately.

Welcome

Safety Information (Continued)

Electronic Devices (Continued)

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.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone off in any facility where posted notices so

require.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit phone usage while in the air.

Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft.

Welcome

Safety Information (Continued)

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 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.

For Vehicles 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.

About Your Batteries

Thanks to Motorola’s breakthrough technology, the TDMA

StarTAC phone’s are smaller weigh less than any previous

Motorola cellular telephone battery. Now it’s easier than

ever to carry a spare or two.

Your TDMA StarTAC phone can use two batteries at the same

time. With an auxiliary battery attached to the back of the

phone, you get even more talk-time.

You can use any single battery or battery combination to ﬁt

your individual needs. You can even extend your talk-time

by attaching an auxiliary battery at any time, without

interrupting your call.

Getting Started

Information About Batteries

Battery Types

Your TDMA StarTAC phone can use either Lithium Ion

(LiIon) or Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. Batteries

are available in a variety of sizes: Slim, Standard, and Extra

Capacity.

What Are Talk and Standby Times?

Talk-time refers to the time you can talk on your phone

before the battery if fully discharged. Standby-time is the

time that your phone is on but not used for talking.

What Is Sleep Mode?

Sleep Mode is a feature that increases your phone’s standby

time. If the D icon on your phone is blinking, you are in an

area where sleep mode is available. If your phone is in

standby mode, press any key to see if your D icon is

blinking.

Sleep Mode is a network-dependent feature and is not

available in all areas. Standby-times may be reduced if the

cellular service provider does not offer sleep mode

operation.

Talk-times are for TDMA Digital operation. All times are

approximate and depend on network, signal strength, and

the function selected.

28 Getting Started

Information About Batteries (continued)

Main Battery Talk and Standby Times

Keep in Mind: Talking on the phone uses more power

than leaving it idle. The more power you use for talking, the

less you’ll have for standby-time, and vice-versa.

Standard Main Battery

(Nickel Metal Hydride)

up to 60 minutes talk-time or 14 hours standby-time

Standard Extra Capacity Main Battery

(Lithium Ion) E•P

up to 110 minutes talk-time or 22 hours standby-time

Battery Charging Tips

To ensure that you enjoy maximum battery life and use

your battery to its fullest capacity:

• Always use Motorola approved battery chargers.

• For the best results, Li-Ion batteries should be

charged using the E•P Desktop Charger, or your

phone’s internal charger.

• The battery should be at or near room temperature

when charging.

• When you don’t plan on using a particular battery

for a while, it’s a good idea to store the battery

uncharged in a cool, dark, and dry place like your

refrigerator.

• Do not leave a NiMH battery connected to any

charger for longer than 24 hours.

A new NiMH battery may require several full charge/

discharge cycles in order to achieve its optimum

performance. After this initial charge, you can recharge

your battery at your convenience, using the phone’s rapid

travel charger.

You can also remove your phone’s battery and replace it

with a charged spare without losing the call in progress. If

you hear a low battery warning while you are in a call,

quickly switch batteries and resume your conversation.

Be aware that a quick change must be completed in three

seconds to avoid losing the call in progress. Just give your

party on the line a warning before beginning this

procedure.

Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal

objects to contact or short circuit the battery terminals.

Using Your Built-in Phone Book

How Your Phone Book Is Organized

Each phone number is stored in a “memory location”

within the phone, numbered 01-99. You can arrange the

numbers in your Phone Book for convenient recall by

storing related numbers in groups of ten.

For example, store your nine most frequently called

numbers in locations 01-09. Then, you can use the Turbo

Dial function to call those numbers with the push of a

single key. You could store business phone numbers in

locations 10-19, family numbers in 20-29, friends in 30-39,

and so on.

You can also store names to help identify phone numbers.

Later, you can easily recall a number either by its memory

location or by name that corresponds to it.

If someone you know has more than one phone number,

you could quickly recall the number you need by storing it

with a descriptive name, for example:

The section “Phone Book” on page 77 describes how the

Phone Book can help you place calling card calls and

access other automated calling systems with the touch of a

button.

This feature allows you to view the number of the calling

party in the phone’s display while the phone is ringing.

Additionally, your TDMA StarTac stores the telephone

numbers of the last ten incoming calls.

Should the caller’s phone number match a phone number

that you have stored in the phone’s memory, the phone will

automatically display the name associated with that phone

number. The display of the name-tag or phone number is

controlled through your setting of the Name Preference

feature. For more information on Name Preference, see

page 89.

If you subscribe to call waiting and receive a call while

another call is in progress, you will hear a call waiting tone

and the caller’s number will appear on the display. The

number will automatically be stored and can be viewed

after ending the call, using the procedure described on the

next page.

If the caller has restricted transmission of the phone

number, your phone will display, “Private.” If the Calling

Number ID information is not available to the cellular

network, “No ID” will display.

You can store any number contained in your Caller ID

memory to a memory location in the same way you would

save any phone number. Once the correct number is

displayed, press ¬ and a memory location or « to

Your phone can operate on two different home systems. If

allows you to change your active number to the one

appropriate for the area you’re in.

currently active number only. Each time you turn your

phone ON, you’ll see a message in the display that indicates

which phone number and home system are currently

active:

In most areas, there are two competing cellular carriers, the

“wireline” carrier and the “non-wireline” carrier: If your

cellular service is from a:

• non-wireline carrier—the display will indicate that

your home system is system A

• wireline carrier—the display will indicate that your

home system is system B

Reference Information

Troubleshooting

Q. I pressed the power button, but nothing happened.

What’s wrong withmy phone?

A. Check that you have installed a battery and that the

battery is charged. See pages 21-33 for more

information about batteries and charging.

Q. My battery didn’t last as long as I expected. What can I

do to extend battery life?

A. Keep in mind that your battery’s “talk-time” and

“standby-time” are a relative measurement of the

battery’s capacity. The more you talk on the phone, the

less standby-time you will have and vice versa.

To get the most from your battery, make sure you allow it to

fully charge. 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.

Certain features demand power from your battery and reduce

battery life. If you have selected the Automatic Display of

Individual Call Timer feature, the display uses battery power

to remain active during each call. Turn this feature off to

conserve battery energy. (See page 96 for more information

on this feature.)

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.

Troubleshooting (Continued)

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. (See pages 108-127 for more

information on your phone’s Security Features.)

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 æ before ending your call attempt, or press º

and try the call again later. (See pages 46-47 for more

information on redialing.)

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 red “NS”

light stops blinking 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 you’re clear of any obstructions, like bridges, parking

garages, tall buildings, etc.

Q. I am in my home service area but the Roam indicator is

ﬂashing.

A. If your phone is programmed with more than one

telephone number, you might not have switched to the

number appropriate for your current location. Press

‰, »,¬ to switch to your other number. See page

136 for more information on multiple phone numbers.

150

Troubleshooting (Continued)

Q. I tried to listen to my Voice Mail (or use a paging

service, a calling card, etc.) but nothing happened.

A. You have probably turned off the Scratchpad tones.

Place your call, enter the access numbers when

prompted by the recording, then press ‰,æ. To

avoid this problem in the future, follow the directions

on page 107 to turn the Scratchpad tones on.

Q. What if my phone beeps several times after power up?

A. The phone is programmed for Call ReceiveOff. See page

142 for more information.

Q. I tried to place a calling card call using the internal

Phone Book, but it didn’t work.

A. You may have turned off your Scratchpad tones. Follow

the directions on page 107 to turn the Scratchpad tones

on. Check that you stored your calling card information

in the correct order, and make sure the groups of

numbers are separated by pauses. The easiest way to

correct the sequence may be to start from scratch.

Follow the instructions on page 80, enter your calling

card information again, and store it in the same

memory location as your previous attempt.

Also keep in mind that when using your calling card, you

must enter the number you are calling with the area code,

but without the initial “1.” Check with your long distance

carrier for details on using your calling card.

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).
