AgION AntimicrobialTM — Built-in Protection for Your Phone Motorola has incorporated AgION antimicrobial into the painted surfaces of your phone to help provide protection against a broad range of product damaging bacteria, mold, and mildew. Motorola is the first wireless phone manufacturer to incorporate AgION antimicrobial into the phone's painted surfaces. The antimicrobial technology is an example of Motorola's pursuit for innovation and creativity to produce the best quality wireless experience.
Safety Accreditation • AgION antimicrobial protection is based on silver, a safe, non-toxic additive to the phone paint. Silver is widely used as an antimicrobial agent in many environments and industries. • AgION antimicrobial technology is safe to use. Thorough testing has shown the additive to be less toxic than table salt and less irritating than talcum powder.

GPS Enabled Your phone’s GPS Enabled feature uses information from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate geographical location of your phone, expressed as latitude and longitude. The availability and accuracy of this location information (and the amount of time that it takes to calculate it) will vary depending on the environment in which you are using the GPS feature.
IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind • Some radios, entertainment equipment and other electronic devices may generate signals that can block or interfere with the GPS receiver ability to receive the distant satellite signals, particularly when such devices are operating in close proximity to the GPS receiver. Therefore, in a 911 call, or when otherwise using the GPS location function, always move your phone away from any such devices.

Driving Safety Tips “Safety is your most important call!” Your Motorola wireless telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice — almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless phone service is available and safe conditions allow. But an important responsibility accompanies that benefits of wireless phones, one that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.
Driving Safety Tips • Your phone can perform many other functions besides allowing you to make and receive calls. Do not let these features distract you from driving. Use them only when it is safe to do so. • Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies. • Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies.
