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 phone, underneath the
battery.

SIM card

If your SIM card is not in the SIM card holder, it
may be in the box your phone came in, attached to
a piece of plastic about the size of a credit card. 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 16.

If there is no SIM card in your phone or the box,
contact your service provider.

Getting Started

Removing the Battery

1 With the phone powered off, remove the battery

door.

2 Remove the battery by pushing it toward the

antenna and lifting it out.

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).

6

• 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.

Your i880 phone comes with a memory card,
memory card reader, and memory card adapter.*

For complete instructions on using your phone with

each time the phone is powered on. You can
change the PIN or turn off the requirement that it
be entered.

14

Entering the PIN

You may be required to enter a SIM PIN when you
first use your phone.

When you receive your phone, the SIM PIN is

Antenna

The retractable antenna on your i880 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 tip until
the antenna is fully extended and clicks into
position.

When finished with a call, retract the antenna by
pushing gently on the 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.

Accessories

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.
