USING YOUR PHONE AS A MODEM

You can use your i500plus as a modem for data transfer from your

laptop, handheld device, or desktop computer. This is particularly useful

when there is no wired phone line (wall jack) available.

You simply attach a data cable from your phone to your computer. From

that point, your phone is your modem. This allows you to send or

receive time-critical information such as e-mail, a field service report, or

files. In addition, you can also send or receive faxes.

This type of wireless connection uses one of two types of data

connection: circuit-switched data and packet data.

• Circuit-switched data is typically used for sending and receiving

faxes and for transferring large files.

• Packet data is used for small file transfers such as e-mail.

To use these services, you must install the iDEN Wireless Data Services

software. For more information on setting up your computer and your

i500plus for Packet and Circuit Data calls, see the iDEN Wireless Data

Services User’s Guide and contact your carrier.

Table 6: Battery Charging Times

Battery Operating Instructions

• Extreme temperatures will degrade battery performance. Do not

store your battery where temperatures exceed 60°C (140°F) or fall

below -20°C (4°F).

• The battery capacity will be degraded if stored for long periods while

fully charged. If long term storage is required, store at half capacity.

• For optimal battery life, use a Motorola iDEN Approved NiMH

charger with your Motorola iDEN NiMH battery. Other chargers

may not fully charge your NiMH battery or may yield a reduced

number of charge cycles.

• If the battery appears inoperative, the internal protection circuitry

may have been activated. Remove the battery from the phone and put

it into the charger for several minutes to reset the circuitry.

• For best results, charge the batteries within the

temperature range of 10oC to 40oC (50oF to 104oF).

• Prolonged charging is not recommended. See Table 6

Observe these Guidelines:

Your radio product contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON,

it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The radio

operates in the frequency range of 806 MHz to 870 MHz and employs

digital modulation techniques. When you use your radio, the system

handling your call controls the power level at which your radio

transmits. The power level typically may vary over a range from

.0024 Watts to 0.6 Watts.

Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy

Your Motorola Radio Product 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; 42 CFR part 2 sub-part j

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95. 1-1992

• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements

(NCRP). Report 86

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

(ICNIRP) 1998

• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS

11, 1988

• Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) DIN-0848

• Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6

To assure optimal radio 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:

When placing or receiving a phone call, or using the group or private

call functions with the Group/Private Speaker OFF (muted speaker icon

visible in the display), hold the radio as you would a telephone. Speak

directly into the mouthpiece and position the antenna up and over your

shoulder.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND

EFFICIENT OPERATION.

READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR

INTEGRATED MULTI-SERVICE PORTABLE RADIO.

D R A F T Safety and General Information

When using the radio as a traditional two-way

radio while making group or private calls with the

Group/Private Speaker ON (no speaker icon

visible in the display), hold the radio in a vertical

position with the microphone one to two inches

away from the lips.

For body-worn operation, the antenna should be

kept at least one inch from the body when

transmitting.

DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE”. Holding the

antenna affects call quality and may cause the radio to operate at a

higher power level than needed.

Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices

Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. 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.

• not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

• use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for

interference.

• 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.

Interference to Other Electronic Devices

RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded

electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles.

Check with the manufacturer or representative to determine if these

systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Also check

with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the

vehicle.

Turn your radio off before boarding any aircraft to prevent possible

interference to aircraft systems. Regulations of the United States

Federal Aviation Administration prohibit use when the plane is in the air

and require you have permission from a crew member to use your radio

while the plane is on the ground.

Safety and General

Use While Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of telephones in the area

where you drive. Always obey them.

When using the phone 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

POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE

ATMOSPHERES

Turn off your two-way radio when you are in any area with a

potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially

qualified for use in such areas (for example, Factory Mutual

Approved). Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause

an explosion of fire resulting in bodily injury of 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 as grain, 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.

Batteries

Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive

atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or

removing batteries and cause an explosion.

BLASTING CAPS AND AREAS

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your

radio 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.

FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN AIR BAG

Do NOT place objects, including both installed and portable wireless

equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment

area. An air bag inflates with great force. If in-vehicle wireless

equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious

injury could result.

Cleaning Instructions

Clean the external surfaces of the unit with a damp cloth, using a mild

solution of dishwashing detergent and water. Some household cleaners

may contain chemicals that could seriously damage the unit. Avoid the

use of any petroleum-based solvent cleaners. Also, avoid applying

liquids directly on the unit.

Antenna Considerations

Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,

modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the

radio, or result in violation of local agency regulations.

OPERATIONAL

CAUTIONS

Damaged Antennas

Do not use any portable two-way radio 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.
