HELLOMOTO
Introducing your new MOTO™ W233 Renew wireless phone! It’s an environmentally responsible phone with a
sleek design that you can feel good about owning.
live a greener life
Your new phone does its part to reduce its climate impact by minimizing its carbon footprint through more efficient
energy, transportation, and material use. Here are other ways you can do your part:
•

Carpool—sharing a ride just once a week reduces your carbon emissions by 20%.

•

Bike, walk, or jog—hitting the pavement emits virtually no carbon, and you’ll get in better shape, too.

•

Turn ‘em off—use only the lights you need. Using your computer? You may not need your office lights, too.

•

Enable power management—use your computer and monitor’s automatic settings so they shut down
automatically when not in use.

•

Bring your lunch—brown bag it or walk to the local eatery instead of driving.

•

Buy local—shipping burns fuel. A 5-pound package shipped by air across the U.S. creates 12 pounds of
CO2 (or 3½ pounds shipped by truck).

Specific Absorption Rate Data
SAR Data

This model wireless phone meets the
government’s requirements for exposure to radio
waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and by the Canadian
regulatory authorities. 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 or health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC and by the Canadian regulatory
authorities is 1.6 W/kg.1 Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions accepted by the FCC and by Industry
Canada with the phone 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

SAR Data

level of the phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the phone 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, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the U.S.
and Canada, it must be tested and certified to the FCC and Industry
Canada that it does not exceed the limit established by each
government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)
reported to the FCC and available for review by Industry Canada.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at
the ear is 1.26 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described
in this user guide, is 1.58 W/kg. The SAR value for this product
in its data transmission mode (body-worn use) is 0.7 W/kg.
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending
upon available accessories and regulatory requirements).2
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the governmental
requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements to
this product model could cause differences in the SAR value for
later products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the
guidelines.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
(CTIA) Web site:
http://www.phonefacts.net
or the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA)
Web site:
http://www.cwta.ca
1. 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.
2. The SAR information includes the Motorola testing protocol,
assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this
product.

Safety and General Information
This section contains important information on the safe and
efficient operation of your mobile device. Read this
information before using your mobile device.
Safety Information

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
Energy
Your mobile device contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is
ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate
with your mobile device, the system handling your call controls the
power level at which your mobile device transmits.
Your Motorola mobile device is designed to comply with local
regulatory requirements in your country concerning exposure of
human beings to RF energy.

Operational Precautions
For optimal mobile device performance, and to be sure that human
exposure to RF energy does not exceed the guidelines set forth in
the relevant standards, always follow these instructions and
precautions.

Safety Information

Product Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your mobile device
just like you would a landline phone.
If you wear the mobile device on your body, always place the
mobile device in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder,
holster, case, or body harness. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory supplied or approved by Motorola, keep the mobile
device and its antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your
body when transmitting.
Using accessories not supplied or approved by Motorola may
cause your mobile device to exceed RF energy exposure
guidelines. For a list of Motorola-supplied or approved
accessories, visit our Web site at: www.motorola.com.

RF Energy Interference/Compatibility

Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the following
symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of
awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation. It is always
a good idea to hold the screen away from your eyes, leave the
lights on in the room, take a 15-minute break every hour, and stop
use if you are very tired.

Caution About High Volume Usage
Warning: Exposure to loud noise from any source for
extended periods of time may affect your hearing.
The louder the volume sound level, the less time is
required before your hearing could be affected. To
protect your hearing:
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones
at high volume.

• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy
surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking
near you.
If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of
pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears, or muffled
speech, you should stop listening to the device through your
headset or headphones and have your hearing checked.
For more information about hearing, see our Web site at
www.motorola.com/hearingsafety (in English only).

Repetitive Motion
When you repetitively perform actions such as pressing keys or
entering finger-written characters, you may experience occasional
discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of
your body. If you continue to have discomfort during or after such
use, stop use and see a physician.

DAMAGES MAY BE DISCLAIMED BY LAW.
Some states and jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or

above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This
warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also
have other rights that vary from state to state or from one

Laws in the United States and other countries preserve for
Motorola certain exclusive rights for copyrighted Motorola

copies of the Motorola software. Motorola software may only be
copied into, used in, and redistributed with, the Products
associated with such Motorola software. No other use, including
without limitation disassembly of such Motorola software or
exercise of the exclusive rights reserved for Motorola, is
permitted.

Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones
Some Motorola phones are measured for compatibility with
hearing aids. If the box for your particular model has “Rated for
Hearing Aids” printed on it, the following explanation applies.
When some mobile phones are used near some hearing devices
(hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing,
humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more
immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also
vary in the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of
their mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding
phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all
phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on
their box or a label on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the
user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device
happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to
use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal
needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than
phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two
ratings.
Hearing Aids

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T
Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices
have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of
interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health
professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The
more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to
experience interference noise from mobile phones.

the printed circuit board that may contain very small amounts of
perchlorate. In such cases, California law requires the following
label:
Perchlorate Label

“Perchlorate Material – special handling may apply. See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.”

Privacy and Data Security
Motorola understands that privacy and data security are important
to everyone. Because some features of your mobile device may
affect your privacy or data security, please follow these
recommendations to enhance protection of your information:
• Monitor access—Keep your mobile device with you and
do not leave it where others may have unmonitored
access. Lock your device’s keypad where this feature is
available.
• Keep software up to date—If Motorola or a
software/application vendor releases a patch or software
fix for your mobile device that updates the device’s
security, install it as soon as possible.
• Erase before recycling—Delete personal information
or data from your mobile device prior to disposing of it or
Privacy and Data Security

Perchlorate Label

turning it in for recycling. For step-by-step instructions on
how to delete all personal information from your device,
see the section entitled “master clear” or “delete data” in
the user’s guide.
Note: For information on backing up your mobile device
data before erasing it, go to www.motorola.com and then
navigate to the “downloads” section of the consumer Web
page for “Motorola Backup” or “Motorola Phone Tools.”
• Understanding AGPS—To provide location information
for emergency calls, certain Motorola mobile devices
incorporate Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS)
technology. AGPS technology also can be used in
non-emergency applications to track and monitor a user’s
location—for example, to provide driving directions. Users

who prefer not to permit such tracking and monitoring
should avoid using such applications.

If you have further questions regarding how the use of your mobile
device may impact your privacy or data security, please contact
Motorola at privacy@motorola.com, or contact your service
provider.

Smart Practices While Driving
Drive Safe, Call Smart
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile
devices and their accessories in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them. The use of these devices may be
prohibited or restricted in certain areas -- for example,
handsfree use only. Go to www.motorola.com/callsmart (in
English only) for more information.
Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and
data—almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless service is
available and safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving is
your first responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device
while driving, remember the following tips:
• Get to know your Motorola mobile device and its
features such as speed dial and redial. If available,
these features help you to place your call without taking
your attention off the road.
Driving Safety

• When available, use a handsfree
device. If possible, add an additional
layer of convenience to your mobile device
with one of the many Motorola Original
handsfree accessories available today.
• Position your mobile device within easy reach. Be
able to access your mobile device without removing your
eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an
inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it
for you.
• Let the person you are speaking with know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy
traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or going through your
address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility—driving safely.

Driving Safety

• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,
place calls when your car is not moving or before
pulling into traffic. If you must make a call while
moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your
mirrors, then continue.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting. Make people
you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend
conversations that can divert your attention away from the
road.
• Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or
other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic
accident, or medical emergencies.*
• Use your mobile device to help others in
emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in
progress, or other serious emergency where lives are in
danger, call 911 or other local emergency number, as you
would want others to do for you.*
• Call roadside assistance or a special
non-emergency wireless assistance number when
necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no
serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic
accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you
know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other
special non-emergency wireless number.*
* Wherever wireless phone service is available.
