PORTABLE RADIO.
25
PORTABLE RADIO PRODUCT OPERATION AND EME EXPOSURE
To assure optimal radio product 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:
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio product and
may violate FCC regulations.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio product is “IN USE”. Holding the
antenna affects call quality and may cause the radio product to operate at a
higher power level than needed.

Approved Accessories
For a list of approved Motorola accessories, call 1-800-453-0920, visit our
website at www.mot.com/iden or look in the accessory section of this manual.
THIS RADIO PRODUCT MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless radio product 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 devices employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions reviewed by the FCC with the device 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 device while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the radio device 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 radio product is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC
that is does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted 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 radio product when tested
for use during packet data transmission is 1.42 W/kg.
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 AZ489FT5811.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.
______________________________________
* 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.

Do not operate any battery charger if it has received a sharp blow, has been
dropped, or has been damaged in any way; take it to a qualified service
technician.
Do not disassemble a battery charger; take it to a qualified service
technician when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Maximum ambient temperature around the power supply or transformer of
any battery charger should not exceed 40°C (104°F).
The output power from the power supply or transformer must not exceed
the rating given on the Desktop Dual-Pocket Charger.
The disconnection from the line voltage is made by unplugging the power

GLOSSARY
asynchronous Data without an accompanying time signal.
Timing is built into data characters as start
and stop bits.
AT command An order entered into the computer to request
your modem to perform certain actions, such
as dial a telemodem number. AT commands
are Hayes-compatible modem commands.
baud rate Signaling speed of the modem. Common
baud rates are 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and
56k.
bps Bits per second. The rate at which data passes
over the telemodem line or through the air.
The basic unit of measure for serial data
transmission capacity.
burst A unit of information consisting of a sequence
of signals.
circuit-switched data Continuous data communication, such as a
modem call.
CTS The Clear to Send signal passed from the
local modem to the local terminal when the
data port is ready to transmit data. Occurs in
response to the Request To Send (RTS)
signal.

command mode The mode that accepts AT commands. Also
known as Terminal Mode. When your modem
is in this mode, it is waiting to receive AT
commands that you type from your
communication software.
communication
software A computer program designed to connect
your computer to an external source, such as
another computer or a fax machine.
data services One of the functions of your iM1100 modem.

switched and packet data transmissions.
DCD Data Carrier Detect. An acceptable carrier
signal received by the modem over the
modem line. Also known as Received Line
Signal Indicator (RLSI).
DCE Data Communications Equipment. The
equipment that establishes, maintains and
terminates a connection. It converts data into
units of sound and vice versa for
communication over telemodem or cellular
networks.
default A factory preset choice that, under normal
circumstances, works best for your system.

when the power is turned off.
packet data A block of data for transmission.
parity bit An error-checking method in asynchronous
transmission. An additional non-data bit
added to a group of bits to indicate whether
the number of bits in the group is odd or even.
PIN Personal Identification Number. A security
number that allows you to access a system.
PPP Point-to-point protocol.
protocol A set of conventions regulating the format
and relative timing of message transfer
between two communication terminals.
RAM Random Access Memory. The working
memory of the computer where you can enter
information and call up data.
RTS Request to Send. Signal sent from the local
terminal to the local modem to prepare the
modem for data transmission.
serial port An input/output (I/O) port that transmits data
one bit at a time; as opposed to a parallel port
which transmits multiple (usually eight) bits
simultaneously. RS232C is a common serial
interface standard.
