68 Installation Guide

Speaker
Install the speaker on the side of the central console, ideally alongside the legs of the passenger sitting beside the driver, as far as possible from the microphone. Thread the speaker cable under the carpet along the floor of the vehicle. Plug the speaker cable into the compatible connection in the octopus control cable. Verify that the cable does not interfere with the proper operation of the vehicle and/or its components. Figure 14: Speaker installation.
Do not conceal the speaker behind any obstacle such as dashboard, glove compartment, carpet or any other barrier which will result in bad audio quality. Attention! The speaker and microphone (which is fitted on the sun visor above the driver) should be pointed towards opposite directions to avoid echo. Speaker slots should be pointed towards passenger door.

Installation Guide 69

Microphone
Install the microphone at a distance of no more than 30 cm (12 inches) away from the driver's mouth, ideally on the upper right hand side of the sun visor and away from any noise source such as windscreens, window, fan/air conditioner, car stereo etc. Make sure the microphone is at a distance of at least 1.5m (4.9 ft) from the speaker and is not directed towards the speaker. Figure 15: Microphone installation.

Make sure that the microphone is positioned properly (see Figure 15). Do not thread the microphone cable close to antenna cable, to avoid audio interference. Plug the microphone cable into the compatible connection in the octopus control cable. Important: Make sure that the microphone cable does not come in contact and does not interfere with the steering wheel and/or the pedals of the vehicle. Attention! The speaker and microphone (which is fitted on the sun visor above the driver) should be pointed towards opposite directions to avoid echo.

RF Antenna

Various RF antenna models can be installed for the Motorola in-vehicle product line. The antenna type (glass, roof mount, marine or RV antenna types) should best match the customer's application.

70 Installation Guide

Electrical Requirements Motorola mandates that the antenna meet the following specifications: VSWR<=2:1 Gain: 5dBi @ 806-960MHz 5dBi @ 1850-1990MHz Antenna Connector: North American models use SMA Male antenna connector. European models use FME antenna connector. The required connector in other regions depends on the specific model and may be either FME or SMA Male. Material & Environmental Information The mechanical configuration should meet outdoor conditions with appropriate temperature range for customer applications. Motorola recommends the following characteristics: RF Cable: RG58U, PVC coated/polyethylene dialectic cable; Operating temperature: -30C to +85C; Heat and UV stabilized; Flammability UL94V0; For on-glass antenna, use adhesive pad with temperature range of -40C to +90C and bond not affected by moisture. Motorola recommends the following antenna suppliers: PCTEL Antenna Specialists, www.antenna.com. For 850/1900MHz on-glass antenna with SMA male connector use P/N APDM928S. Panorama Antennas, www.panorama-antennas.com. For 900/1800MHz on-glass antenna with FME connector, use P/N GDE-5F. For 900/1800MHZ on-glass antenna with SMA Male connector, use P/N GDE-5S.

Installation Guide 71

RF Antenna Installation
Attention! Ensure the antenna is located at least 20 cm (8 inches) away from all vehicle occupants. Attention! To avoid audio interference, do not thread the antenna cable dose to the microphone cable. Use original antenna plug and clamping tools only. Test antenna and cable performance using a VSWR meter.
Figure 16: RF antenna installation.
The preferred position for on-glass antenna is either on the upper right side or upper left side of the windscreen, opposite from the driver's seat. Should another cellular device already be installed in the vehicle, the antennas should be located at a distance of at least 30 cm (12 inches) from the other. Note: Certain car models incorporate a 'heat reflective' or 'comfort' windscreen. In this case, please attach the antenna to the side or rear windshield only.

78 Service & Repairs

Important Safety & Legal Information 6
This section contains important information on the safe and efficient operation of your mobile device. Read this 7 information before using your mobile device.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Your mobile device contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy through the external antenna. 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.

External Antenna Care

If your mobile device has an external antenna, use only a Motorola-supplied or approved replacement antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the mobile device and/or may result in your device not complying with local regulatory requirements in your country.
Applies to relevant regions only. The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information in users guides published prior to May 1, 2007.
Important Safety & Legal Information 79
DO NOT hold the external antenna when the mobile device is IN USE. Holding the external antenna affects call quality and may cause the mobile device to operate at a higher power level than needed. Do not operate your mobile telephone when a person is within 20 cm (8 inch) of the vehicle antenna. A person or object within 20 cm (8 inch) of the antenna could impair call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than necessary and expose that person to RF energy in excess of that established by the FCC RF Exposure Guidelines.
RF Energy Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy interference from external sources if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for RF energy compatibility. In some circumstances your mobile device may cause interference with other devices. 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 http://www.motorola.com.

Your phone incorporates a built-in GPS receiver, which can be used by a compatible Java application to help you navigate your way quickly and easily.

What is GPS?

GPS stands for Global Positioning System a satellite-based radio navigation system which was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense. The system is formed by 24 satellites orbiting the earth and continuously transmitting various signals. A standard GPS receiver can calculate its current latitude, longitude and elevation anywhere on earth, by analysing these signals and measuring the distance between itself and these satellites. In optimal conditions, a GPS receiver can calculate its location to an accuracy of a few metres. The accuracy mainly depends on the number of GPS satellites to which the GPS receiver is in a line of sight, but may be subject to other factors too.
Navigation Applications & Services
Using the Global Positioning System maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense is free of charge and no subscription is needed. However, downloading a navigation application and/or using its navigation system may require a subscription and/or be subject to separate fees. To check the availability and pricing of navigation applications and services, please contact your network operator or service provider. Your network operator or service provider will also give you a link from which to download the navigation application and usage instructions.

Main Attractions 19

Note: The availability of the navigation application and/or service depends on your network operator and/or service provider and may vary by location.

Warnings

1. Operating the navigation application while driving may cause distraction. If you cannot concentrate on driving, pull off the road and park the car. 2. Do not rely on your navigation system solely in times of emergency. Temporary unavailability of this system, poor GPS coverage, outdated or partial cartography, etc. may render it unusable when you need it most. 3. Always exercise discretion when using your navigation system, and do not rely on its guidance solely. The cartography provided by this system may not fully reflect any recent changes to roadways, and the route chosen may not always be the best alternative.
