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.
Powering On and Off
• 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.

Memory Card
Your i875 phone comes with a 32 MB memory
card, memory card reader, and memory card
adaptor.
A memory card is a removable flash memory card
that you can use to store pictures, videos, and
audio files. The memory card can be inserted in
your phone or connected to your computer using
the memory card reader and memory card adaptor.
When the memory card is in your phone, many
types of pictures, videos, and audio files stored on
the memory card can be viewed or played using
your phone's Media Center. MP3 audio files stored
on the memory card can be played using your
phone's audio player.
A memory card reader connects to your computer’s
USB port and lets you access the memory card
from your computer. This lets you save files from
your computer to your memory card or save files
from your memory card to your computer.
The memory card adaptor makes the memory card
compatible with the memory card reader.

Your

Audio folder, pictures to the Images folder, and
videos to the Video folder.
Because your phone creates these folders the first
time the memory card is inserted, you should insert
the memory card into your phone at least once
before using it with your computer.
Filename Rules
When naming files stored on the memory card, the
following rules apply:
• The filename can only contain ASCII characters.

How Your Audio Files Are
Organized
The audio player groups the MP3 audio files on the
memory card into folders and lists.
Since you will probably want to use the audio
player primarily to play songs, the audio player
treats the MP3 audio files on the memory card as
songs when grouping and organizing them.
The audio player uses metadata found in most
MP3 audio files to group the files on the memory
card by album, artist, and genre. You can also
create your own groupings of audio files, called
playlists.
When you access the audio player, you see that
the audio files are grouped into these folders:
• Songs — All MP3 audio files on the memory
card inserted in your phone, listed alphabetically
by title.
• Playlists — Folders and lists you have created.
If you have not created any playlists, this folder
contains only the Favorite playlist, which is
empty.
•Albums — Songs grouped by album. The
albums are listed alphabetically by title. The
songs on the albums are listed in the order that
they normally appear on the album.
Searching By First Letter
•Artists — Songs grouped by artist. The artists
are listed alphabetically by name. Within each
artist’s folder, the songs are listed alphabetically
by title.
•Genres — Songs grouped by artist. The artists
are listed alphabetically by name. Within each
artist’s folder, the songs are listed alphabetically
by title.
In the Albums, Artists, and Genres folders, any
MP3 audio files that do not contain enough
metadata to be grouped by album, artist, or genre
are paced in a folder labelled “Unknown”.
Searching By First Letter
Any time you are viewing an alphabetical list of
audio files or folders, you can go the items starting
with any letter by using your phone’s keypad to
enter that letter.
Playing a List, Repeat, and
Shuffle
When you select an audio file to play, the audio
player plays this audio file and then plays the other
audio files grouped with it. The repeat and shuffle
features help determine which of these songs are
played.
If you are not using the repeat or shuffle features,
the audio player plays the audio file you select and
then plays the rest of the files in the list or folder, in
the order they appear, until it gets to the end of the
list or folder. The audio player then goes to the
beginning of the list and pauses until you resume
playing.
The repeat feature lets you set the audio player to
play all the audio files in a list or folder, in order,
starting again at the beginning of the list when it
gets to the end, without pausing or stopping. It also
lets you set the audio player to play one audio file
repeatedly, starting over as soon as it ends.
The shuffle feature lets you set the audio player to
play the audio files in a list or folder in random
order, until you stop it.

audio file currently playing, or viewing visuals,

Working with Playlists
Playlists are lists of audio files you create from the
files already available through the audio player.
Playlists enable you to group audio files as you like
them, but they do not change anything in the other
folders or on the memory card. Adding a file to a
playlist does not copy it or move it. Removing a file
from a playlist, or deleting the playlist that a file is
listed in, does not delete the file from any other
location.
