Sprint Direct Connect offers instant, two-way push-to-talk (PTT) communication between you
and your family, friends, and co-workers, all at the click of a button. Perfect for get-in/get-out
conversations such as checking status, getting information, getting directions or coordinating
with others—fast. And Call Alert sends a repeating alert to other Direct Connect subscribers to
let them know you want to reach them.
Your Direct Connect Number
Your Direct Connect number may be the same as your phone number (for example, 555-555-
1234) or it may be a separate number comprising three sets of digits separated by asterisks (for
example, 444*5555*111).
If you have a separate Direct Connect number, callers will have to enter the asterisks when
placing a Direct Connect call.
To find your Direct Connect number:
► Touch Dialer > Contacts > Menu > More > My info. Your Direct Connect
number will be listed.

Dial Direct Connect Numbers
● If the person you are calling has a separate number for Direct Connect, make sure you
dial any asterisks (*) in the number. If you are saving the number in your Contacts,
choose DC for the phone type.
● If the person you are calling has a single number for both voice calls and for Direct
Connect, use that 10-digit phone number to make Direct Connect calls. You do not need
to add any asterisks (*) to the number. If you are saving this number in your contacts,
choose Mobile for the phone type.
Tip: Users with Nextel phones must add asterisks (*) between sets of numbers to dial Direct
Connect numbers. Make sure to tell your contacts with Nextel phones to dial the 10-digit
number using asterisks (*) in place of hyphens (for example, 555*555*1234).
To easily ensure that your contact has your correct number, call them so that they can
save your number.

TTY Mode
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows
people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities to
communicate by telephone.
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your
TTY device to ensure that it is compatible with digital cell phones. Your phone and TTY device
will connect via a special cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable was not
provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the
connector cable.
To turn TTY Mode on or off:
► Touch Menu > Settings > Call settings > TTY mode and select an option.
For additional information about Sprint Relay Services and TTY compatibility, call Sprint Relay
Customer Service at 800-676-3777 or visit sprintrelay.com.
Warning: 911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means,
including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and
landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when
received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to
software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the
FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently working to
resolve this.

Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery
before it is fully drained.
Your phone warns you with a audible alert when the battery reaches 15% and 5% of its
capacity. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone plays another
alert and then turns off.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser use, and other
variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of
power.
Installing the Battery
See Set Up Your Phone.
Removing the Battery
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored numbers or messages.
2. Remove the back cover by pulling up from the notch at the bottom, and then remove the
battery from the phone.
Warning: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.
Charging the Battery
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your
phone automatically turns off, and you will lose any information you were just working on.
Always use a Sprint-approved or Motorola desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power
adapter to charge your battery.
1. Insert the small end of the USB cord into the charger/accessory jack on the left side of
your phone.
2. Insert the larger end of the USB cord into the AC adapter.

making some Sprint applications and services easier to use. Turning Location off will
disable the GPS location function for all purposes except 911, but will not hide your

contacts as a “.CSV” file. You can then use Gmail to import the file. For details, see
motorola.com/transfercontacts or log in to your Gmail account on your computer and
select “Help”.
● Use a microSD card: You can transfer contacts from your old phone to your new
Motorola phone using a microSD card. See Transfer Contacts Using a microSD Card.
