•

Remove the battery and inspect it to

•

If there is a hologram, replace the

Always take your mobile device with
you when you leave your vehicle.

•

When storing your battery, keep it in a
cool, dry place.

•

It is normal over time for battery life to
decrease, and for the battery to exhibit
shorter runtime between charges or
require more frequent or longer
charging times.

•Avoid damage to battery and mobile
device.

Do not disassemble, open,
crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred,
or submerge the battery or mobile
device. Avoid dropping the battery or
mobile device, especially on a hard
surface. If your battery or mobile
device has been subjected to such
damage, take it to a Motorola
Authorized Service Center before

Do not

attempt to dry it with an

appliance or heat source, such as a hair
dryer or microwave oven.

•Use care when handling a charged
battery:

Particularly when placing it
inside a pocket, purse, or other
container with metal objects. Contact
with metal objects (e.g., jewelry, keys,
beaded chains) could complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit), causing
the battery to become very hot, which
could cause damage or injury.

Promptly dispose of used batteries in
accordance with local regulations.
Contact your local recycling center for
proper battery disposal.

Warning:

Never dispose of batteries in a fire

because they may explode.

2

Plug the other end
of the charger into

When you charge the
battery, the battery level indicator at the upper

At least one segment of the indicator must be
visible to ensure full phone functionality while

charge from your computer

You can partially charge your phone’s
battery by connecting a Motorola-approved
USB cable from your phone’s mini-USB port
to a high power USB connector on a
computer (not a low-power one, such as the
USB connector on your keyboard or bus­powered USB hub). Typically, USB high-power
connectors are located directly on your
computer.

Note:

The phone will be charged at a slower

rate than it is charged with the rapid charger.
Your computer must be turned on, and you

must have correct software drivers installed
on your computer. If the Phone is off when
the USB cable is connected between the
computer and the phone, the phone will
power up in charging mode. This mode allows
the phone to charge fastest and quickest.

Note:

If the battery is very low, the phone will

low rate. The phone will power up in charging
mode when the battery has been charged to
approximately 5% of its capacity. For faster
charging under a very low battery condition, it
is recommended to use the rapid charger
supplied with the handset.

If the phone is turned on while charging from
a computer, it will not fully charge the battery.
In this case, the battery charge will be
maintained approximately between 80% and
95% of the battery's capacity. Cables and
software drivers are available in Motorola

Your handset includes a music player that you
can use to play music files stored in the Music
directory on the memory card inserted in your

GPS receiver that sends location information
to a USB port on a PC, laptop, or PDA.

Note:

No serial port connectivity is provided
by your phone. Applications on the host

GPS location information via a serial port must
instead use a Virtual Serial Comm Port.

The data sent to the host device is formatted

This handset is not a full NMEA-0183
compliant device supporting electrical RS-422/
RS-232 connectivity as dictated by the NMEA­0183 standard. Consequently it's unsuitable
for conventional marine NMEA-0183

their USB hosting computing devices such as

emergency calls

Your service provider programs one or more
emergency phone numbers that you can call
under any circumstances, even when your
phone is locked or the SIM card is not
inserted.

Note:

Emergency numbers vary by country.
Your phone’s preprogrammed emergency
number(s) may not work in all locations, and
sometimes an emergency call cannot be
placed due to network, environmental, or
interference issues.

Your phone supports emergency calling.
Emergency phone calls can be made even
when your SIM card is blocked or not in your
phone.

Dial 911 or your local emergency number to
be connected to an emergency response
center. If you are on an active call, you must
end it before making an emergency call.

When you make an emergency call, your
phone’s GPS Enabled feature can help
emergency service personnel find you, if you
are in a location where your phone's GPS
antenna has established a clear view of the
open sky and your local emergency response
center has the equipment to process location
information. Because of the limitations of this
feature, always provide your best knowledge
of your location to the emergency response
center when you make an emergency call.

Note:

Emergency calls cannot be placed

while the keypad is locked.

Note:

If you have not registered on the
network, emergency calls cannot be placed
while your SIM card is in your phone.

group (SDG) calls

A SDG call is similar to a Private call, but is
made to all members of a SDG list at once. A
SDG list is a group of Private IDs that you
create using your phone. A SDG list must
contain at least 2 members and can contain
up to 20 members.

You can create a SDG list for one call only or
store it to Contacts so you can call it any time.

Note:

In order to store SDG lists to your
phone, you must use a SDG-capable SIM
card. For more information about SDG­capable SIM cards, contact your service
provider. SDG lists created with your phone
