Software Notices Warning SoftwareNotices against unlocking the bootloader or altering a product's operating system software: Motorola strongly recommends against altering a product's operating system, which includes unlocking the bootloader, rooting a device or running any operating software other than the approved versions issued by Motorola and its partners. Such alterations may permanently damage your product, cause your product to be unsafe and/or cause your product to malfunction. In such cases, neither the product nor any damage resulting therefrom will be covered by warranty. Important FCC information: You must not make or enable any changes to the product that will impact its FCC grant of equipment authorization. The FCC grant is based on the product's emission, modulation, and transmission characteristics, including: power levels, operating frequencies and bandwidths, SAR levels, duty-cycle, transmission modes (e.g., CDMA, GSM), and intended method of using the product (e.g., how the product is held or used in proximity to the body). A change to any of these factors will invalidate the FCC grant. It is illegal to operate a transmitting product without a valid grant. Location Services Motorola Location mobile devices can provide information about their approximate location to applications, using sources including GPS, AGPS, and Wi-Fi. GPS (Global Positioning System) uses government-operated satellites that are subject to changes implemented in accordance with Department of Defense policy and the Federal Radio Navigation Plan. These changes may affect the performance of location technology on your mobile device. AGPS (Assisted Global Positioning System) uses your wireless service provider's network to improve GPS performance. Airtime, data fees, and/or additional charges may apply in accordance with your service plan. Contact your wireless service provider for details. Your mobile device can also use Wi-Fi signals to determine your approximate location, using information from known and available Wi-Fi networks. Mobile devices transmit location-based information when connected to a wireless network or when using other location technologies like GPS. If you use applications that require location-based information such as driving directions, your mobile device will provide location information to them. These applications may share location information with third parties, including your wireless service provider, applications providers, Motorola, and other third parties providing services. Emergency Calls When you make an emergency call, the cellular network may activate the AGPS technology in your mobile device to tell the emergency responders your approximate location. AGPS has limitations and might not work in your area. Therefore: • Always tell the emergency responder your location to the best of your ability; and • Remain on the call for as long as the emergency responder instructs you. en Safety, Regulatory, & Legal 7

Location
Motorola mobile devices can provide information about their approximate
location to applications, using sources including GPS, AGPS, and Wi-Fi. GPS
(Global Positioning System) uses government-operated satellites that are
subject to changes implemented in accordance with Department of Defense
policy and the Federal Radio Navigation Plan. These changes may affect the
performance of location technology on your mobile device. AGPS (Assisted
Global Positioning System) uses your wireless service provider’s network to
improve GPS performance. Airtime, data fees, and/or additional charges may
apply in accordance with your service plan. Contact your wireless service
provider for details. Your mobile device can also use Wi-Fi signals to determine
your approximate location, using information from known and available Wi-Fi
networks.
Mobile devices transmit location-based information when connected to a

your mobile device will provide location information to them. These
applications may share location information with third parties, including your
wireless service provider, applications providers, Motorola, and other third
parties providing services.
Emergency Calls
When you make an emergency call, the cellular network may activate the
AGPS technology in your mobile device to tell the emergency responders your
approximate location.
AGPS has limitations and
might not work in your area
. Therefore:
Always tell the emergency responder your location to the best of your
ability; and
