AgION AntimicrobialTM —
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.

iii

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.

iv

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

Using the 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 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 from sources
other than your phone may not be accessible when
the memory card is in your phone.

Using the Memory Card

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

17.

Inserting the Memory Card

1 Open the memory card slot cover.

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.
4 Your phone may prompt you to use the memory

card to store new media items, go to the
camera, go to the Media Center, or do nothing. If
you select Do Nothing, you will return to the idle
screen. Respond to the prompt now.

Formatting a New Card

The first time you insert a memory card in your
phone, you may be prompted to format the card.

Important: The Format Card option erases any data

saved to the memory card. It should
only be used if your phone prompts you
to format the memory card.

15

Getting Started

To format a memory card:

From the main menu, select Settings >

Memory Card > Format Card.

Removing the Memory Card

Important: Do not remove the memory card before

1 From the main menu, select Settings >

Memory Card > Remove Card.

2 Open the memory card slot cover.

3 Push the memory card to release it from the slot.

16

selecting the Remove Card option.
Removing the memory card before
selecting the Remove Card option
could result in loss of data.

4 Pull out the memory card.

5 Close the memory card slot cover.

Note: If you select the Memory Card > Remove

Card option but do not remove the

memory card, you cannot use the memory
card until you remove it and insert it again.

Setting Your Phone’s Storage Preference

You can choose whether media items are saved to
your phone’s memory or to a memory card inserted
in your phone’s memory card slot.

Using the Memory Card

To set the media storage option in Settings:

1 From the main menu, select Settings >

Memory Card > Store Media.

2 Select On Phone to set your phone to save

media items to the phone’s memory. -or-
Select Prefer On Card to set your phone to

save media items to the memory card if it is in
the phone. If no memory card is in the phone,
even if you choose Prefer On Card, the media
items are saved to your phone’s memory.

If you set the media storage option to save to your
phone’s memory, when you insert the memory
card your phone prompts you to switch to storing to
the memory card.

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.

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.

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.

17

Getting Started

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.

• 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.

SIM Card Security

SIM Card Security

Your SIM card stores all your Contacts and
protects your personal information. Since this
information is stored on your SIM card, not in your
phone, you can remove the information by
removing your SIM card.

Note: Except for making emergency calls, your

phone will not function without the SIM
card.

To prevent unauthorized use of your phone, your
SIM card is protected by a PIN that you enter each
time the phone is powered on. You can change the
PIN or turn off the requirement that it be entered.

Turning the PIN Requirement On and Off

When the SIM PIN requirement is off, your phone
can be used without entering a PIN.

Important: When the SIM PIN requirement is off,

DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

Per FCC CFR 47 Part 2 Section 2.1077(a)

Responsible Party Name: Motorola, Inc.
Address: 8000 West Sunrise Boulevard

Plantation, FL 33322 USA
Phone Number: 1 [phone]

Hereby declares that the product:
Product Name: i880
Model Number: H94XAH6RR4AN
Conforms to the following regulations:
FCC Part 15, subpart B, section 15.107(a),

15.107(d) and section 15.109(a)
Class B Digital Device
As a personal computer peripheral, this device

complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.

Note: This equipment has been tested and

found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving

antenna.

• Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on
a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.

ALL MODELS WITH FCC ID AZ489FT5853 MEET THE
GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It
is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by
the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for
the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all perso ns,
regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is

1

1.6W/kg.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions reviewed by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
phone while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the power required
to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it
must be tested and certified to the FCC that is does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performe d in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the

42

body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest
SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at th e
ear is 1.30 W/kg and when tested on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 1.57 W/kg during packet
data transmission. (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements.)

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC
and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID
AZ489FT5853.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)
can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.

1

In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for

mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measureme nts.

2

The SAR information reported to the FCC includes the

FCC-accepted Motorola testing protocol, assessment
procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this
product.
