When Using the iBoard

Here are important points to remember when
using the Motorola iBoard:

• Use the iBoard on a flat, firm surface which
supports the iBoard as well as the attached phone.
For example, place a book or other flat surface on
your lap before using it as a laptop keyboard.

• Make sure that the dock mechanism is fully
extended and upright before attaching your phone.
Do not try to attach your phone before raising the
dock to the upright position.

• Your phone’s input fields accept the same number of
characters with the iBoard as without it. Your phone
accepts a maximum of 512 characters in its largest
input fields.

• Some of your phone’s functions cannot be used
simultaneously, just as when you are using your
phone without the iBoard. For example, you cannot
access Java applications while on a call.
