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.

Wireless Local Number Portability: Bringing Your Phone Number From Another Carrier
If you are bringing your phone number from
another carrier, your new phone will be active as
soon as you receive it. Nextel will provide you with
a temporary phone number so that you can begin
using your phone immediately. Once the number
you have brought to Nextel is activated, your
temporary phone number will be deactivated and
service with your previous carrier will be cancelled
automatically. You will receive a text message on
your Nextel phone letting you know that activation
is complete. Simply turn your phone off and back
on again to complete activation.
Here is additional information you need to be
aware of until the number you have brought to
Nextel is active on the Nextel network:
16
Nextel® Voice Mail
We suggest you set up your voice mail box after
the number you brought to Nextel is active on your
Nextel phone and your temporary phone number is
deactivated. If you set up your voice mail box prior
to this, all messages and all settings (including
your greeting and password) will be lost when the
number you have brought to Nextel becomes
active.
Text Messaging
During the activation process, it is possible that text
messages may not be properly routed to your
Nextel phone.
911 Calls
Nextel continues to make efforts to ensure that all
911 calls are minimally impacted by this process. If
you make a call to 911 from your temporary phone
number and the call fails, the 911 emergency
response center will not be able to call you back on
your Nextel phone if in the meantime your Nextel
phone has been programmed with your permanent
phone number. As with any wireless 911 call, if
your call is disconnected before location and
details have been provided, be sure to call 911
again and advise that you were disconnected.

users from anywhere on the Nextel National
Network (U. S.) to anywhere on the National
Network.

• International Direct Connect
walkie-talkie calling to and from select countries.

walkie-talkie calling to up to 20 Nextel customers
simultaneously. (See “Group Connect
on page 19).
• Talkgroups — allows walkie-talkie calling to up
to 100 Nextel customers.
See nextel.com for more details on these Direct

Dialing Direct Connect® Numbers
Every Direct Connect 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 Direct Connect call, you must
enter the whole Direct Connect number including
the asterisks.
Tip: When you store a Direct Connect number in
Contacts, it is good practice to include the
whole Direct Connect number, including the
asterisks.
Group ConnectSM Calls
A Group Connect call is similar to a Direct Connect
call, but is made to multiple Direct Connect users
at once. You can create Groups from your phone
and call up to 20 Nextel users anywhere on the
Nextel national network to other Group
Connect-compatible 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 Connect-compatible. See nextel.com for
more details on Group Connect.
