Battery Use and Maintenance

• The Motorola 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 bat tery
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.

5

Getting Started

• 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.

Mike’s Direct Connect Service

There ar e two ways of communicating over Mike’s
Direct Connect service:

• one-to-one using a private call

• one-to-many in a group call

Both of these methods are very similar to two-way
radio, and at a fraction of the cost of traditional
cellular. Mike’s Direct Connect also offers the Call
Alert feature, which gives recipients a notice, similar
to a ringer, that you would like to speak to them.

One-to-One Private Calls

Making Private Calls

1 If the flip is open, enter the Private ID you want to

call. -or-
If the flip is closed, select the number as you would

when making a phone call.

2 Press and hold the PTT button on the side of your

handset. Begin talking after yo ur handset emits a
chirping sound.

3 Release the PTT button to listen.

Tip: To let someone know that you want to talk to

him or her on a Priva te call, send a call al ert.
See “Call Alerts” on page 20.

Every Private ID number contains 3 parts — an area
ID, a fleet ID, and a member ID — with asterisks
between each of these parts. For example:
999*999*9999.
