AgIONTM Antimicrobial — Built-in Protection for Your Phone
Motorola has incorporated AgION antimicrobial into the painted surfaces of your phone to help provide protection against a broad range of product damaging bacteria, mold, and mildew.
Motorola is the first wireless phone manufacturer to incorporate AgION antimicrobial into the phone's painted surfaces.
The antimicrobial technology is an example of Motorola's pursuit for innovation and creativity to produce the best quality wireless experience.
The antimicrobial technology in the paint on Motorola iDEN against product damage caused by microbes, but does not extend such protection to the user.
Versatile in application, the EPA-registered AgION additive is recommended for institutional, commercial and consumer applications. AgION antimicrobials are used in many settings including hospitals, offices, schools and food processing facilities. They can also be found in leading footwear, fabrics, appliances, water coolers and architectural hardware.
®
phones helps provide protection
Benefits of AgIONTM*
AgION antimicrobial technology helps provide
protection against product damaging bacteria on the painted surfaces of the phone.
AgION antimicrobial is effective in protecting the product against a broad spectrum of bacteria.
AgION helps inhibit the ability of microbes to grow and spread on the painted surfaces of the phone.
The active ingredient helps break down enzymes in the microbe, inhibiting its ability to reproduce and spread on the painted surfaces of the phone.
Studies have shown that surfaces with AgION antimicrobial can reduce the amount of certain product damaging bacteria by 99%.
The AgION coating will protect the painted surfaces of the product against product damaging bacteria for the life of the product.
* The antimicrobial technology is applied only to the painted
surfaces of the Motorola iDEN phones, thereby providing protection against damage to such surfaces caused by microbes, but does not extend such protection to the end user.
viii
Safety
AgION antimicrobial protection is based on
silver, a safe, non-toxic additive to the phone paint. Silver is widely used as an antimicrobial agent in many environments and industries.
AgION antimicrobial technology is safe to use. Thorough testing has shown the additive to be less toxic than table salt and less irritating than talcum powder.
How It Works
The technology continuously inhibits the growth
of product damaging bacteria on the phone's painted surfaces.The active ingredient helps break down enzymes in the microbe, inhibiting its ability to reproduce and spread on the painted surfaces on the phonee.
The active ingredient in AgION is silver, in the form of silver ions.
ix
Accreditation
The AgION antimicrobial compound is
registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a preservative and bacteriostatic agent for use in the manufacturing of polymers and plastics.
NSF, FDA-listed

Antenna

Antenna
The retractable antenna on your i880 phone is designed to be extended during calls and is essential to attain the hearing aid compatibility rating on applicable models.
To extend the antenna, pull gently on the tip until the antenna is fully extended and clicks into position.
When finished with a call, retract the antenna by pushing gently on the rounded tip until the antenna clicks into place.
To optimize your phone’s performance, extend the antenna when you make or receive a call, and avoid touching the antenna with any body part.
Important: Failure to fully extend or retract the
antenna until the antenna clicks into place causes severely degraded performance, which may result in missed calls, dropped calls, or garbled audio.

Accessories

Your phone comes with a memory card, Standard Li-Ion Battery, rapid travel charger, and holster.
Various accessories are available for use with your i880 phone, including larger capacity batteries and
doors,
cases, vehicle power chargers, data cables,
hands-free accessories, Bluetooth accessories, and more.
To order additional accessories, go to www.nextel.com or call 1-888-242-4187. You can also contact your Nextel Authorized Sales Representative or stop by any Sprint Store. For information on Sprint Store locations, go to www.sprintstorelocator.com.

Wireless Local Number Portability

Bringing Your Phone Number From Another Carrier

If you are bringing your phone number from another carrier, your new phone will be active as soon as you receive it. Nextel will provide you with a temporary phone number so that you can begin using your phone immediately. Once the number you have brought to Nextel is activated, your temporary phone number will be deactivated and service with your previous carrier will be cancelled automatically. You will receive a text message on your phone letting you know that activation is
19

complete. Simply turn your phone off and back on again to complete activation.
Here is additional information you need to be aware of until the number you have brought to Nextel is active on the Nextel
®
National Network:

Nextel® Voicemail

We suggest you set up your voicemail box after the number you brought to Nextel is active on your Nextel phone and your temporary phone number is deactivated. If you set up your voicemail box prior to this, all messages and all settings (including your greeting and password) will be lost when the number you have brought to Nextel becomes active.

Text Messaging

During the activation process, it is possible that text messages may not be properly routed to your phone.

911 Calls

Nextel continues to make efforts to ensure that all 911 calls are minimally impacted by this process. If you make a call to 911 from your temporary phone number and the call fails, the 911 emergency response center will not be able to call you back on your Nextel phone if in the meantime your Nextel
20
phone has been programmed with your permanent phone number. As with any wireless 911 call, if your call is disconnected before location and details have been provided, be sure to call 911 again and advise that you were disconnected.
Go to www.sprint.com/bringyournumber for more details.

Using Predefined Talkgroups

A Talkgroup call is a Walkie-Talkie call to a predetermined group that has been provisioned by Nextel or an account administrator.
Groups can include up to 200 subscribers that are in the same Walkie-Talkie network — that is, subscribers that have the same Walkie-Talkie network ID and are located in the home market. (The network ID is the second set of numbers in a Nextel Walkie-Talkie number. See “Dialing Walkie-Talkie Numbers” on page 22 for more information.)
Before you can make or receive Talkgroup calls, a Talkgroup must be established. After the group is established, you must join the Talkgroup.

Pictures and videos taken with your phone’s
camera
Pictures, videos, and audio recordings received via Bluetooth

Ensuring Files on the Memory Card Are Compatible With Your Phone

When your memory card is connected to your computer, your computer lets you save files to your memory card in ways that may not allow you to access these files when the memory card is in your i880 phone.
37
Using a Memory Card
To ensure the files you save to your memory card are compatible with your i880 phone, use the folder structure, file name rules, and formats described in the following sections.

Folder Structure

The first time you insert the memory card into your phone, your phone creates folders on the memory card. When you save files from your computer to the memory card, save each file to the appropriate folder:
The Music folder is for music files you will play using the audio player. Files in this folder cannot be accessed from the Media Center.
The Podcast folder is for podcasts you will play using the audio player. Files in this folder cannot be accessed from the Media Center.
The Audio folder is for audio files you will play using the Media Center. Files in this folder cannot be accessed from the audio player.
The Image folder in for pictures you will view using the Media Center.
The Video folder is for videos you will play using the Media Center.
38
Because your phone creates these folders the first time the memory card is inserted, you should insert the memory card into your phone at least once before using it with your computer.

File Name Rules

When naming files stored on the memory card, the following rules apply:
The file name can contain both ASCII and Unicode characters.
File names up to 32 characters long, including the file extension, can be displayed by your phone. File names up to 255 characters long, including the file extension, can be read by your phone. If a file name is more than 32 characters long, but no more than 255 characters long, your phone displays an abbreviated name for the file, but does not change the name of the file on the memory card.
Note: Only files with names no longer than 32
characters can be stored in your phone’s memory. When you copy or move a file with a longer name to your phone’s memory, you are prompted to rename the file.
Ensuring Files on the Memory Card Are Compatible With Your Phone
The file name must be in a language your phone can display. To see which languages your phone can display, select Settings > Display/Info > Language. Your phone can display the languages listed and other languages that use the same alphabets.

Audio Player

Your i880 phone includes an audio player that you can use to play audio files stored in your phone’s memory or on the memory card inserted in your phone.
The audio player groups the audio files into folders and lists. When you select an audio file to play, the audio player plays this audio file and then plays the other audio files grouped with it.
In addition to music, the audio player plays podcasts that you have downloaded to your computer and then saved on the memory card inserted in your phone. You can mark highlights within a podcast file to help you find the parts of the podcast you most want to listen to. You can send details of the podcast to a friend and send feedback to the podcast creator using MMS messages.
If you receive a phone call, Walkie-Talkie call, call alert, message notification, a Datebook reminder, or a GPS notification while playing an audio file with the audio player, the audio file pauses and a prompt appears asking you if you want to accept the incoming call or alert or ignore it.
The audio player begins playing at the currently selected volume, even when Vibrate All is set to On.

How Your Audio Files Are Organized

The audio player groups the audio files on the memory card into folders and lists.
Since you will probably want to use the audio player primarily to play songs, the audio player treats the audio files on the memory card as songs when grouping and organizing them, unless the audio player determines that the audio file is a podcast.
The audio player uses metadata found in most audio files to group the files on the memory card by album, artist, and genre, or to classify them as podcasts. You can also create your own groupings of audio files, called playlists.
When you access the audio player, you see that the audio files are grouped into these folders:
• Songs — All audio files on the memory card inserted in your phone, except podcasts, listed alphabetically by title.
• Playlists — Folders and lists you have created. If you have not created any playlists, this folder contains only the Favorite playlist, which is empty.

Playing Music While Files Are Loading

•Albums — Songs grouped by album. The albums are listed alphabetically by title. The songs on the albums are listed in the order that they normally appear on the album.
•Artists — Songs grouped by artist. The artists are listed alphabetically by name. Within each artist’s folder, the songs are listed alphabetically by title.
•Genres — Songs grouped by genre. The genres are listed alphabetically by name. Within each genre folder, the songs are listed alphabetically by title.
• Podcasts — Podcast episodes grouped by program. The programs are listed alphabetically by name. Within each program folder, the episodes are listed by date with the newest first.
In the Albums, Artists, and Genres folders, any audio files that do not contain enough metadata to be grouped by album, artist, or genre are placed in a folder labeled “Unknown”.
Playing Music While Files Are Loading
The first time the audio player encounters music files on your memory card, it must load and organize these files. If a large number of files must be loaded, this may take a long time.
To play music while files are loading:
1 Access the audio player. 2 From the loading screen, press A under View. 3 In the folder view screen, scroll to a music file
and press A under Play. -or-
4 Press O
While music is playing, file loading is suspended.

Searching By First Letter

Any time you are viewing an alphabetical list of audio files or folders, you can go to the items starting with any letter by using your phone’s keypad to enter that letter.

Playing a List and Using Repeat and Shuffle

When you select an audio file to play, the audio player plays this audio file and then plays the other audio files grouped with it. The repeat and shuffle features help determine which of these songs are played.
45
Audio Player
If you are not using the repeat or shuffle features, the audio player plays the audio file you select and then plays the rest of the files in the list or folder, in the order they appear, until it gets to the end of the list or folder. The audio player then goes to the beginning of the list and pauses until you resume playing.
The repeat feature lets you set the audio player to play all the audio files in a list or folder, in order, starting again at the beginning of the list when it gets to the end, without pausing or stopping. It also lets you set the audio player to play one audio file repeatedly, starting over as soon as it ends.
The shuffle feature lets you set the audio player to play the audio files in a list or folder in random order, until you stop it.

audio file currently playing, or viewing visuals, press m.
2 Select Setup. 3 Select Shuffle/Repeat. 4 Scroll to Repeat. 5 To set the audio player to repeatedly play the

Working With Playlists

Playlists are lists of audio files you create from the files already available through the audio player.
Playlists enable you to group audio files as you like them, but they do not change anything in the other folders or on the memory card. Adding a file to a playlist does not copy it or move it. Removing a file from a playlist, or deleting the playlist that a file is listed in, does not delete the file from any other location.
