to.

Locating Your SIM Card

Your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is a
small piece of plastic located in the SIM card
holder in the back of your phone, underneath the
battery.

If your SIM card is not in the SIM card holder, it
may be in the box your phone came in, attached to
a piece of plastic about the size of a credit card. If
this is the case, carefully detach your SIM card
from the surrounding plastic and insert it as
described in “Inserting Your SIM Card” on page 13.

If there is no SIM card in your phone or the box,
contact your service provider.

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.

• 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.

Activating Service

be in your local calling area. This activates your
service.

usage settings. Time-based settings let you use
the given item for a specified interval. Examples of
time-based settings include being able to use an
item for a specified number of days from the date
of purchase, a specified number of days from the
date that the item is first used, or a specified
number of minutes. Count-based settings let you
use an item for a specified number of times after
you download it or for unlimited use.
