vi
Note: This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates,

interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
• Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on
a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.

Removing the Battery
1 With the handset powered off, remove the battery
door.
2 Remove the battery by pushing it toward the

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 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.
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.
Activating your Mike Account
Before you can begin using your i857 handset, you
need to activate your Subscriber Identity Module
(SIM) card on The Mike Network. Your SIM card
holds the information required to enable your handset
to connect to The Mike Network. It also stores your
user information, language preference and contact
list entries.
• If you purchased your handset through an
Authorized Mike Network Dealer, your SIM should
already be active.
• If you purchased your handset at another location,
follow the “Getting Activated” instructions in the
Mike Services User’s Guide.

Locating Your SIM Card
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 handset, underneath the battery.
SIM card
If your SIM card is not in the SIM card holder, it may
be in the box your handset came in, attached to the
SIM carrier. 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 14.
SIM Card Security
Your SIM card stores all your Contacts information.
Since this information is stored on your SIM card, not
in your handset, you can remove the information by
removing your SIM card.
Note: Except for making emergency calls, your
handset will not function without the SIM
card.
To prevent unauthorized use of your handset, your
SIM card can be protected by a PIN that you enter
each time the handset is powered on. You can
change the PIN or turn off the requirement that it be
entered.
Note: Your PIN is set to OFF by default.
Entering the PIN
You may be required to enter a SIM PIN when you
first use your handset.
When you receive your handset, the SIM PIN is 0000.
Change your PIN to prevent fraudulent use of the
SIM card.
11
Getting Started
Important: If you enter your PIN incorrectly 5 times,
your SIM card is blocked. To unblock your
SIM card, you must contact TELUS
Mobility Client Care. See “Unblocking the
PIN”.
1 When the Enter SIM PIN Code screen appears,

character entered.
2 Press A under Ok.
Changing the PIN

Change Password > SIM PIN.
2 At the Enter Old SIM PIN screen, enter the current
SIM PIN.
3 Press A under Ok.
4 At the Enter New SIM PIN screen, enter the new
4- to 8-digit SIM PIN.
5 Press A under Ok.
6 At the Re-enter New SIM PIN screen, re-enter the
new SIM PIN to confirm.
7 Press A under Ok.
12
Turning the PIN Requirement On and Off
When the SIM PIN requirement is on, you are
prompted to enter your PIN each time you turn on
your handset.
Note: If a SIM PI N is required, your handset will
not function until the SIM PIN is entered,
except for making emergency calls.
When the PIN requirement is off, your handset can
be used without entering a PIN.
Important: When the SIM PIN requirement is off, the

personal data on your SIM card is not
protected. Anyone can use your handset
and access your personal data.
2 Select On or Off.
3 Enter the current SIM PIN.
4 Press A under Ok.
Unblocking the PIN
If you enter your PIN incorrectly 5 times, your SIM
card is blocked. To unblock your SIM card, you must
contact your TELUS Mobility Client Care to get a PIN
Unblock Key (PUK).
SIM Card Security
Important: If you unsuccessfully enter the PUK code
10 times, your SIM card is permanently
blocked and must be replaced. If this
happens, all data is lost. You will get a
message to contact TELUS Mobility Client
Care. Except for making emergency calls,
your handset will not function with a
blocked SIM card.
To unblock the PIN:
1 Press * # m 1.
2 At your TELUS Mobility representative’s request,
provide the information needed to give you a PUK
code.
3 Select Unblock PIN.
4 Enter the PUK code.
5 Enter a new 4- to 8-digit SIM PIN.
6 Re-enter your SIM PIN.
If you entered the codes properly, SIM Unlocked
appears on the display.
Inserting and Removing Your SIM Card
Important: Do not touch the gold-colored areas of
Switching SIM Cards
When you move your SIM card from one handset to
another, your Contacts information will not be erased
as the information is stored in the SIM. If you remove
your SIM card and use it with another handset, or use
another SIM card with your handset, the following
information is erased:
• The recent calls list
• Call forwarding settings
• Net alerts
• MMS messages
• Options set using the MMS Setup menu
• Pictures and audio recordings in the media center,
except those that are forward locked
• Information stored in Memo
• 3 most recent GPS Enabled locations
• Voice records

Antenna
The retractable antenna on your i857 handset is
designed to be extended during calls.
16
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 handset’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.
Accessories
Your handset comes with a battery and a charger.
To order additional accessories, log on to our Web
site at www.telusmobility.com or contact your Mike
Dealer.

Mike’s Direct Connect Service
There are 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

chirping sound.
3 Release the PTT button to listen.
Tip:To let someone know that you want to talk to

between each of these parts. For example:
999*999*9999.
When you place a Private call, you must enter the
entire Private ID number including the asterisks.
When you store a Private ID number in Contacts,
include the asterisks with the entire Private ID
number in case you travel with your handset, or
another Private ID user, outside of your network.
From the Keypad

numbers on the keypad.
If you make a mistake:
