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
tempe ratures 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 i s required, store at half capacity.

GPS Enable d
Your phone’s GPS Enabled feature uses information
from Global Positioning System (G PS) satel lites
orbiting the Earth to determine the appr oximate
geographical location of your phone, expressed as
latitude and longitude. The availability and accuracy
of this location infor mation (and the amount of time
that it takes to calculate it) will vary depending on
the environment in which yo u are using the GPS
feature. For example, GPS location fixes are often
difficult to obtain indoors, in covered locations,
between high buildings, or in ot her situat ion s whe r e
you have not established a clear broad view of the
sky. SEE: “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in
Mind”.
When you m ake a 911 emergency call, the GPS
feature of your phone can help emergency
personnel locate you if your phone has adequate
access t o GP S sat e ll ite sig na ls an d your em erge nc y
response center is equipped to process such
information.
You can also use the GPS feature to view your
approximate location. Location information appears
on the phone’s display.
Java applications loaded on your phone can also
request your location. If your phone is connected to
a laptop computer or similar device, software
running on that device can request your location. To
protect your pri v acy, you can control whether these
requests are granted.
IMPORT ANT: Things to Keep in
Mind

Where adequate signals from multiple satellites
are not available (usually because your GPS
antenna cannot establish a view of a wide area of
open sky), the GPS feature of your phone WILL
NOT WORK. Such situation s include but are not
limited to:
• In underground locations
• Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered
vehicles
• Under any other metal or concrete roof or
structure
• Between tall buildings or under dense
tree-cover
• Near a powerful radio or television tower

substantially reduce GPS performance.
Even where location information can be
calculated in such situations, it may take much
longer to do so, and your location estimate may
not be as accurate. Therefore, in any 911 call,
always report t he location to the emergency
response center if you can and if you cannot,
remain on your phone for as long as the
emergency response center instructs you.
Even where adequate signals from multiple
satellites are available, your GPS feature will
only provide an approximate location, often
within 150 feet (45 meters) but sometimes much
further from your actual location. Advice on how
to improve GPS performance is provided in
“Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 70.
While the GPS feature of your phone can be a
valuable navigational aid, it does not replace the
need for careful navigating and good judgment.
Never rely solely on one device for navigation.
Remember that the accuracy of the location
68
information and the time needed to obtain it will vary
depending on circumstances, particularly the ability
to receive signals from adequate numbers of
satellites.
On emergency calls, your phone uses assistance
information from the phone network to improve the
speed and accuracy of your phone’s location
calculation: if such assistance information becomes
unavailable, it may reduce the speed and accuracy
of the location calculation.
The satellites used by the GPS feature of your
phone are controlled by the U.S. government and
are subject to changes implemented in accordance
with the Department of Defense GPS user policy
and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. These
change s ma y af fe ct t he per f or m a nc e of t he GPS
featur e of yo ur phone.
Making an Emer gency Call
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 911 call, the GPS
feature of yo ur phone be gin s to see k in for m a tion to
calculate yo ur approx imate location. It will take the
GPS feature of your phone some time to
deter mine your approximate location. Even
where your phone has good access to sufficient
Page 77
Viewing Your Approximate Location
GPS satellite signals and network assist data, it may
take 30 seconds or more to determine the
approximate location. This time will increase where
there is reduced access to satellite signals. When
your approximate locat ion is determined, it is m ade
available to the appropriate emergency response
center.
In some cases, your local 911 emergency
response center may not be equipped to receive
GPS location information. For this reason, and
because the GPS location information reported is
only approximate or may not be available in your
location (see “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in
Mind” on page 67), always report your location to the 911 operato r you speak to wh en making an
emergency call, if able, just as you would when
using a phone without GPS capabilities.
Note: If yo u are concer ne d ab ou t whether you r
local 911 emergency response center is
equipped to receive GPS location
information, contact your local authorities.
In general, if your phone has access to signals from
more GPS satellites, your location will be
determined faster and more accurately than if your
phone has access to signals f rom fewer GPS
satellites.
If your phone doe s not have adequate ac cess to
GPS satellites signals, the location of the nearest
cell tower in contact with your phone is automatically
made av ai labl e t o th e e me rg ency r es po nse cen te r , if
the center has the capability to receive such
information.
See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 70

Enhancing GPS Performance
To improve accuracy and increas e yo ur ch an c es of
a successful calculation, do the following while your
phone is determining your approximate location:
• Stay in the open. The GPS featu re works best
where there is nothing between your phone and a
large amount of open sky. If possible, go outside,
away fr om tall buildings and fo liage. While
perfor mance in a building is improved by moving
closer to windows, glass with certain sun
shielding films may block satellite signals.
• Exten d your phon e an t e nn a.
• Hold your phone to enhance r eception. Signals
from GPS satellites are transmitted to your GPS
ante nna, which is in your phone antenna. Hold
your phone away from your body, giving the
antenna clear access to satellite signals. Do not
cover the antenna area with your fingers or
anythin g else.

• Stand still. If possible, stand still until your phone
is fi nishe d d et erm in in g your l oca tio n. Mov ing y our
phone at a walking pace while your phone is
calculating your approximate location may
substan tially de crease GP S perfor ma nc e .

• In a car. When using the GPS Enabled feature in
a car, position your phone so that the GPS
antenna has good access to GPS signals through
the car’s windows. Typically, the GPS antenna
has best access to GPS signals in a car when
place d ne ar a wi nd ow.
Note: Al th ough movin g your phon e at a wa lk in g
pace decreases GPS performance, moving
it at the speed of a moving car does not.
• Stay in network coverage. Dependin g on who
your service provider is, the network will provide
your phone with information that helps determine
your location more quickly and accurately.
Updating Satellite Almanac
Data
Another way to keep the GPS feature of your ph one
working well is to keep your satellite almanac data
up to date.
The United States government maintains an
almanac of data about where GPS satellites are as
they orbit the Earth. This information is available to
your phone. Keeping your satellite almanac up to
date helps your phone determine your location more
quickly.
72
The alman ac con tain s inf ormati on abo ut the loca tio n
of sat ellites, their operat ional status, and other
satellite informa tio n . Ke ep in g thi s in form a t io n
updat ed enhances the performance of your GPS
feature. In most cases, your phone will be able to
get a fix in strong satellite signal conditions with
outdated almanac data, but it may take longer.
Note: When you make an emergency call, your
phone d oes not rely upon the almanac to
determine your location.
If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your
phone ma y pro m pt yo u to up date it. Follow the
instructions that appear on the phone’s display. You
may be asked to go to a web site or call a customer
care number.
Setting Privacy Options
Your phone’s GPS privacy options control whether
Java applications on your phone or other software
applications may view the location of your
phone .Yo u m ay s et yo ur pho ne to one o f th ese G PS
privacy options.
Note: Privacy opt ions do not apply to the
transmission of location information during

• By Permission — When an application
attempts to view the location of your phone,
you will be prompted to give permission.
However, location information may still be
available to the phone’s owner, fleet manager,
or account administrator.
Setting the GPS PIN Security Feature
To prevent your GPS privac y settings from being
altered without your knowledge, your GPS privacy
option can be protected by a PIN.
When you receive your phon e, the GPS security
feature is turned off, so you do not have to enter a
GPS PIN to access your GPS privacy options. If you
turn this feature on, you will be required to enter a
GPS PIN to access your GPS privacy option s.
To turn the GPS Enabled security feature on or off:
1 From the main menu, select Settings > Security

Using GPS with Map Software
You can use the GPS feature of your phone to
provide approximate locatio n data to a laptop
computer or similar device that is running interactive
map softw are such as that made by DeLorm e or
Microsoft. This way, if your phone has good ac cess
to GPS si gna ls , you r appr oxi ma te po si tion on a map
can be made available as you travel in a vehicle.
To do this, co nnect yo ur ph one to your lap top (or
other device) with a data cable and set your phone
to transmit data (se e “G ett in g Star ted ” on page 74).
Your phone then provides your approximate location
to the device running the map software, which
displays your location on a map. Your phone
provides an updated location ev ery second and the
map sof tware displays your changing lo cation on its
map.
See “Enhanci ng GP S Perform an ce ” on page 70
for more details on obtaining good location
information.
Note: Because your phone is continuously
determ ining yo ur lo cation, usi ng the GP S
