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 Measurement (NCRP) Report 86 1986
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation 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 answering 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 minimize 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
vii
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.

Installing Your Batteries
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.
22

Removing and Attaching Battery Covers
Your phone’s batteries are shipped uncharged and fitted
with protective covers. To begin using your phone, just
remove the battery cover, install the battery on the phone,
and charge! See “Charging Your Batteries” on page 32
when you’re ready to begin charging your battery.
Save the covers to store and carry unused batteries. The covers
will prevent metal objects from contacting both battery
terminals, reducing the risk of injury or damage from a
battery short circuit.

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.

(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
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.
28

Charging Your Batteries
Using the Internal Charger.
Believe it or not, there’s a battery charger built right into
your phone! Using either the AC or cigarette lighter adapter,
you can plug the handset directly into a power source to
charge any attached batteries.
To charge:
Tip:
If both a main
and auxiliary
battery are
attached, the
main will be
charged to 95%
before the
auxiliary is
charged.
1. Plug the AC adapter
or cigarette lighter
adapter into the
accessory connector on the bottom
of your phone as shown, with the release tab facing
up.
2. Plug the power adapter into a 110V AC electrical
outlet. You will hear a beep-tone and you will see
the battery icon flashing.
See “Charge Times” on page 37 for charge times.
Tip:
You can still
place and answer
calls while using
the internal
charger. Keep in
mind that talking
on the phone
requires energy,
so charging will
take more time.

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.
To charge:

adapter into the
back of the
charger, with the
release tab facing
up.
2. Plug the other
end of the AC adapter into an AC wall socket.
3. With battery(s) attached, place the phone into the
charger’s front pocket.
4. You can insert an extra auxiliary or main battery
into the rear pocket.
Note: The detachable plug assembly included with your
package can only be used for this power supply. Do not plug
it into any wall outlet without the power supply.
If you attach an
auxiliary battery
along with the
main battery and
insert another
battery into the
rear pocket of
the desktop
charger, you’ll
have three
charged batteries
ready to go in the
morning.

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.

Quick Change Battery Replacement
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.

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:
SMITH J
HOME

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.
When your phone has two numbers, both are designated as
your home system but only one number can be active at
any given time. Calls are placed and received by the
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:
Non-wireline type with phone number 1
A1
Non-wireline type with phone number 2

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.
149
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).
