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.

Note: Except for making emergency calls, your

phone will not function without the SIM.

To prevent unauthorized use of your phone, your SIM is protected by a PIN that you enter each time the phone is powered on. You can change the PIN or turn off the requirement that it be entered.

Antenna

The retractable antenna on your phone is designed to be extended during calls and is essential to attain the hearing aid compatibility rating on applicable models.

To extend the antenna, pull gently on the rounded tip until the antenna is fully extended and clicks into position.

When finished with a call, retract the antenna by pushing gently on the rounded tip until the antenna clicks into place.

To optimize your phone's performance, extend the antenna when you make or receive a call, and avoid touching the antenna with any body part.

Important: Failure to fully extend or retract the

antenna until the antenna clicks into place causes severely degraded performance, which may result in missed calls, dropped calls, or garbled audio.

Managing Memory

All messages in the Inbox, Drafts, and Sent Items share the same memory space.

Note: The content of a message in the Inbox is

not stored in your phone’s memory until the message is read. Unread messages use very little memory.

To view your used memory, free memory, and memory capacity:

1 From the main menu, select Messages. 2 With [Create Message] highlighted, press m . 3 Select Setup > Memory Size.

Tip: This option is available from many

context-sensitive menus when you are

using MMS. To free memory, delete messages. To delete many messages at once, see “Deleting

All Messages” on page 81. To set messages to be deleted automatically, see

“Setting the Clean-up Option” on page 79.

Page 90

Note: Messages are stored in your phone using

the same memory space used to store Java applications data, items accessible through the media center, and voice records created when your phone is in a call. Deleting some of these other items frees memory for messages.

Deleting All Messages

To delete all read, unlocked messages from the Inbox, all messages in Drafts, or all successfully sent messages in Sent Items:

1 Scroll to Inbox, Draft, or Sent Items. 2 Press m. 3 Select Delete All. 4 Press O or press A under Yes to confirm.
