See your Lithium Ion battery and travel charger to determine the appropriate charging time.

Recommended charging times:

Battery	Charger
	Rapid	Mid-Rate
		(included)
High	2 hours	4 hours
Performance

For best results, charge the batteries within the temperature range of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C).

Prolonged charging is not recommended.

Removing the Battery

1With the phone powered off, remove the back phone cover.

2Remove the battery by pushing the battery toward the antenna and lifting it out.

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).

•Lithium Ion batteries have a self discharge rate and without use, lose about 1% of their charge per day.

6

•The battery capacity is degraded if the battery is stored for long periods while fully charged. If long term storage is required, store at half capacity.

Calls

Your phone supports emergency calling. Emergency phone calls can be made even when your SIM is blocked or not in your phone.

Making Emergency Phone Calls

Dial 911 to be connected to an emergency response center. If you are on an active call, you must end it before calling 911.

When you make an emergency call, your phone’s GPS Enabled feature can help emergency service personnel find you, if you are in a location where your phone's GPS antenna has established a clear view of the open sky and your local emergency response center has the equipment to process location information. See “GPS Enabled” on page 70, and particularly “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind” on page 70 and “Making an Emergency Call” on page 71, for more information on the limitations of this feature. Because of the limitations of this feature, always provide your best knowledge of your location to the emergency response center when you make an emergency call.

Important: Emergency calls cannot be placed while the keypad is locked.

Important: If you have not registered on the network, emergency calls cannot be placed while your SIM card is in your phone.

Call Alerts

Sending a call alert lets the recipient know you want to talk to him or her on a Boost Walkie-Talkie call.

When you send a call alert, the recipient’s phone emits a series of beeps and displays your name or Boost Walkie Talkie number.

The recipient can:

•Answer — begin a Boost Walkie-Talkie call with the sender

•Queue — store the call alert to the call alert queue, which is a list of call alerts

•Clear — dismiss and delete the call alert

2Press A under Alert. Ready to Alert appears on the display.

3Press the Boost Walkie-Talkie Button until Alert Successful appears on the display.

Note: If the alert is not successful, this may mean the person you are trying to reach is on a call or has the phone turned off.

Receiving Call Alerts

When you receive a call alert, you must answer, queue, or clear it. You cannot receive phone calls or Boost Walkie-Talkie calls until you do.

To answer a call alert, press the Boost Walkie-Talkie Button to make a Boost Walkie-Talkie call to the sender.
