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

Battery Use and Maintenance
• The Motorola iDEN Approved Lithium Ion
chargers provide optimum performance. Other
chargers may not fully charge the iDEN Lithium
Ion battery or may yield a reduced number of
lifetime charge cycles.
• Extreme temperatures degrade battery
performance. Do not store the battery where
temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C) or fall below
-4°F (-20°C).
Powering On and Off
• Lithium Ion batteries have a self discharge rate
and, without use, lose about 1% of their charge
per day.

Tip: To let someone know you want to talk to
him or her on a Walkie-Talkie call, send a

Dialing Walkie-Talkie Numbers
Every Walkie-Talkie number has 3 parts — an area
ID, a network ID, and a member ID — with an
asterisk between each of these parts. For example:
999*999*9999.
When you place a Walkie-Talkie call, you must
enter the whole Walkie-Talkie number including the
asterisks.
22
Tip: When you store a Walkie-Talkie number in
Contacts, it is good practice to include the
whole Walkie-Talkie number, including the
asterisks.

Nextel® Group Walkie-Talkie
A Group Walkie-Talkie call is similar to a
Walkie-Talkie call to one user, but is made to
multiple Walkie-Talkie subscribers at once. You
can create Groups from your phone and call up to
20 Nextel subscribers anywhere on the Nextel
National Network to other Group Walkie-Talkiecompatible phones*. You can create a Group for
one-time use or store it to Contacts so you can call
it at any time.
* Not all phones are Group Walkie-Talkie-compatible. See
www.nextel.com for more details on Group Walkie-Talkie.
Note: In order to store Groups to your i880, you
must use the 128K SIM card that came
with your phone. The 128K SIM card is
labeled “Nextel 600 Contcs & 25 Grps”.
With this SIM card, a maximum of 25
groups can be added to your i880. Group
entries created with your i880 phone may
not be readable by older iDEN SIM-based
phones.

Talkgroup Calls
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.
Joining a Talkgroup
When you enable security, you receive a list of
Talkgroups that have been set up for you if you

Using a Memory Card
Your i880 phone comes with a memory card.
When the memory card is in your phone, many
types of pictures, videos, and audio files stored on
the memory card can be viewed or played using
your phone's Media Center. Music files and
podcasts stored on the memory card can be played
using your phone's audio player.
When the memory card is in your phone, you can
save these media items to it:
• Pictures received in Walkie-Talkie calls
• Pictures and videos taken with your phone’s
camera
• Pictures, videos, and audio recordings received
via Bluetooth
• Pictures, videos, and audio recordings received
in MMS messages
You can use a memory card reader and adapter or
a USB data cable to connect to your computer’s
USB port and access the memory card from your
computer. This lets you save files from your
computer to your memory card or save files from
your memory card to your computer.
Some files saved to a memory card while the
memory card is not in your phone may not be
accessible when the memory card is in your phone.
To make sure the files you save to the memory
card using your computer can be accessed using
your phone, see “Ensuring Files on the Memory
Card Are Compatible With Your Phone” on page
37.
Inserting the Memory Card
1 Open the memory card slot cover.
35
Using a Memory Card
2 Slide in the memory card. Push the memory
card into the slot until it clicks into place.
3 Close the memory card slot cover.

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.
File Formats
Audio Player
These file formats are compatible with your
phone’s audio player:
The USB mass storage feature lets you access the
memory card inserted in your phone from your
computer by connecting your phone to your
computer with a USB data cable. The memory card
then is treated as a removable storage drive by
your computer. You can navigate to this drive as
you would any other drive on your computer.
You cannot use this feature while using Direct Talk.
When you are using your phone’s USB mass
storage feature, the memory card cannot be
accessed by your phone. Otherwise, your phone’s
functionality is not affected.

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

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.
