Motorola Offers Energy-Efficient Chargers for Mobile Devices and Bluetooth-Enabled Products

March 27, 2007

ENERGY STAR-qualified products are approximately 40 percent
more efficient than conventional models

    ORLANDO, Fla., March 27 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- CTIA
Wireless 2007 -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) announced today
that it is the first major cell phone manufacturer to
redesign all its mobile phone and accessory chargers
(external power supplies) to be ENERGY STAR-qualified. 
ENERGY STAR is designed to help consumers identify
energy-efficient products which meet strict energy
efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Energy
(DOE).

    Climate change is widely recognized as one of the
greatest challenges facing the world today, and Motorola is
doing its part to help protect the environment and spur
innovative solutions such as ENERGY STAR-qualified power
supplies.

    "EPA salutes Motorola's leadership as the first
company to ensure all of the power adapters in their phone
chargers earn the ENERGY STAR," said Bill Wehrum,
Acting EPA Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation. 
"By being more energy efficient, ENERGY STAR-qualified
adapters reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution
associated with the generation of electricity."

    According to EPA, if every phone sold in the U.S. this
year used an ENERGY STAR qualified adapter in its charger,
the energy saved could light 760,000 homes for a year.  In
addition, it would prevent well over 1 million tons of
greenhouse gas emissions, the equivalent emissions of more
than 200,000 cars.

    "At Motorola, we realize the importance of helping
to protect the environment," said Greg Estell,
Corporate Vice President and General Manager, MobileME,
Motorola, Inc. "As a leading provider of consumer
electronic products to millions of American homes, Motorola
is dedicated to providing solutions, like ENERGY
STAR-qualified chargers, that help improve the everyday
lives of consumers."

    The ENERGY STAR logo will be incorporated on the
packaging of Motorola's aftermarket wall-charging solutions
so consumers can easily identify energy efficient products.
