Array of Motorola In-Vehicle Solutions on Display at Specialty Equipment
Market Association (SEMA) 2002
LIBERTYVILLE, Ill., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc.
(NYSE: MOT) will demonstrate the company's latest hands-free automotive
accessory portfolio next week at the Specialty Equipment Market Association
2002 Show in Las Vegas, November 5 - 8, 2002. The portfolio includes
aftermarket Professional Car Kits, a Bluetooth(TM) Car Kit and Headset, Self-
Installed Car Kits and Vehicle Power Accessories. The portfolio was designed
for on-the-go consumers and businesses that desire the convenience of hands-
free handset operation in their vehicles. All of these solutions will be
demonstrated during the show in Motorola's booth, #11213.
"Motorola's latest in-vehicle portfolio offers a variety of solutions for
consumers who need to stay connected easily when they are on the road," said
Sue Fullman, Corporate Vice President & General Manager for Motorola's
Personal Communications Sector. "We believe these wireless products offer
drivers tremendous benefits when used with good driving judgment and are
excited to showcase Motorola's latest in-vehicle collection during SEMA 2002."
Motorola's Bluetooth(TM) Wireless Car Kit, a CES 2002 Innovations Honoree,
transforms a Bluetooth(TM)-enabled mobile phone into a wireless in-vehicle
communications system. With the new Bluetooth(TM) Car Kit from Motorola
professionally installed, owners can simply start their vehicle and the car
kit will automatically connect securely to their mobile phone. The phone can
be in a holster, on a belt, on the front seat or anywhere in the vehicle,
without the need for wires or cords to make the connection. The car kit's
highly stylized back lit control panel allows the user to interface and
operate key features such as volume adjustment, mute and voice recognition
accessing up to 100 voice tags. This car kit allows seamless connectivity and
universal interoperability with any Bluetooth(TM) enabled mobile phone
containing either the Head Set or Hands Free audio profiles.
Motorola's newly updated Professional Install Hands-free Car Kit is
ergonomically designed to enhance the in-vehicle mobile communications
experience. The enhanced audio technology within the car kit reduces ambient
noise, providing a clearer communications experience. The replaceable hang-up
cup enables consumers to easily take their mobile phone in and out, while
offering a complement to the vehicle cabin with handset charging and dead
handset battery/no handset battery operation.
The uniquely designed Motorola Self-Install Hands-Free Car Kit collection
includes two products with retractable cord operation -- a unique feature to
the global marketplace that supports varying levels of cord management.
Motorola's current Self Install Hands-Free solution offers two-watt speaker
output and retraction of the microphone and handset cords. The newly released
Retractable Self-Install Hands-Free car Kit, expected to be available this
month, has microphone retraction, fast rate charging and mounting hardware for
placement in most vehicle cup holders.
The final product in the portfolio is the Vehicle Port Accessory, which
provides Motorola handsets with fast rate smart charging, as well as offering
added protection for handsets and vehicle electronics, and dead handset
battery operation.

Motorola recognizes that use of wireless products in a vehicle, which are
important tools when properly used, require the exercise of good driving
judgment. The first rule of good driving judgment is: driving is your first
responsibility. No secondary activity should be permitted to interfere with
that responsibility. Motorola summarizes this position by stating, DRIVE
SAFE, CALL SMART.
