Driving Safety Tips
Safety — Your most important call. The Wireless Industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable features most phones offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work to memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial function without taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands free device. A number of hands free wireless phone accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted device for your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if available to you.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure you place your wireless phone within easy reach and where you can grab it without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the road.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading an address book or business card or writing a “to do” list while driving a car, then you are not watching where you are going. It's common sense. Don't get caught in a dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. If possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be stopped at a stop sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip — dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix
— they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel of a car. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend conversations which have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous situations — with your phone at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless phone provides you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in your community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non- emergency assistance number when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may require attention but are not urgent enough to merit a call for emergency services. But you still can use your wireless phone to lend a hand. If you see a broken­down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears to be injured or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non­emergency wireless numbers.

Activating Your i50sx Phone
NOTE: To register for the first time on the Nextel National Network, you
must turn on your i50sx phone in your home market.
Before you can begin using your i50sx phone, it must be activated.
• Before calling Nextel Customer Care, read “Nextel Terms and Conditions of Service” on page 162.
• If you purchased your phone through a Nextel Direct Sales Representative, a Local Authorized Representative, or a National Authorized Representative, your phone should already be active.
If your display reads No Service or doesn’t change to the idle screen when you turn on your phone, and you know you are in a Nextel coverage area, call Nextel Customer Care at 1-800-639-6111. (For details on Nextel coverage areas, visit nextel.com.)

Security Features of the i50sx Phone
The i50sx phone comes with two levels of security protection:
• SIM Card
• Keypad Lock
Your phone comes with a built-in level of security protection through the use of the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card. The SIM card stores all your Phonebook information. Since this information is stored on the SIM card, not in your phone itself, you can remove the information by removing the SIM card.
The SIM card is located in the SIM Card Holder on the back of the phone, underneath the battery. You can verify that the SIM card is in place by removing the battery and viewing the SIM card through the SIM card cover.
16
Security Features of the i50sx Phone
See “Removing/Inserting the SIM Card” on page 22 for information on locating the SIM card. If there is no SIM card in your phone, notify your Nextel Authorized Representative.
NOTE: Except for making emergency calls, your phone will not
function without the SIM card.
SIM Card Personal Identification Number (PIN)
To prevent unauthorized use of your phone, your SIM card is protected by a PIN. Each time the phone is powered on, you must enter your PIN. You can change or disable your PIN if desired.
NOTE:Disabling your PIN enables anyone to use your phone. If you
disable your PIN, you must still keep the SIM card in the phone to make calls.
Entering the PIN
By default, your phone is set to require you to enter a PIN.
NOTE: Your default SIM card PIN is: 0000.
It is recommended that you change your PIN to prevent fraudulent use of the SIM card (see “Changing the PIN” on page
18).
Incorrectly entering your PIN three times causes the SIM card to be blocked. To unblock your SIM card, you must contact

Press B under OK.
If you enter an incorrect PIN, the message SIM PIN incorrect: Try again appears on your phone’s screen. After three consecutive incorrect attempts, the SIM card is blocked. The phone does not allow you to attempt to enter your PIN again, even after powering the phone off and back on. If this happens, see “Unblocking the PIN” on page 19.

Using T9 Text Input

Your i50sx phone has embedded software, called T9® Text Input, that makes typing on a phone keypad much like typing on a computer keyboard: it eliminates the traditional “multi-tap” method of text entry. As you type, you press only one key per letter. T9 Text Input matches your keystrokes to words in its linguistic database of approximately 60,000 words and proper names. You may also store additional words you frequently use in your own user database, which is incorporated into the T9 database.
