-4°F (-20°C).

• Lithium Ion batteries have a self discharge rate and without use, lose about 1% of their charge per day.

Using the Memory Card

Your i885 phone comes with a 64 MB Micro SD 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. Music files stored on the memory card can be played using your phone’s MP3 Music Player.

For complete instructions on using the memory card with your phone and with your computer, see “Memory Card” on page 26.

SIM Chip Security

Your SIM chip stores all your Contacts and protects your personal information. Since this information is stored on your SIM chip, not in your phone, you can remove the information by removing your SIM chip.

Note: Except for making emergency calls, your

phone will not function without the SIM chip.

To prevent unauthorized use of your phone, your SIM chip is protected by a PIN that you enter each time the phone is powered on. You can change the PIN or turn off the requirement that it be entered.

Turning the PIN Requirement On and Off

When the SIM PIN requirement is off, your phone can be used without entering a PIN.

Important: When the SIM PIN requirement is off,

When the SIM PIN requirement is on, you are prompted to enter your PIN each time you power on your phone.

Antenna

The retractable antenna on your i885 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 rounded 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.

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.

Memory Card

Your i885 phone comes with a 64 MB memory card, memory card adaptor, and memory card reader.

You can use a memory card reader and adapter or a USB data cable to connect to your computer’s USB port and 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.

Ensuring Files on the Memory Card Are Compatible With Your Phone

When your memory card is connected to your computer, your computer lets you save files to your memory card in ways that may not allow you to access these files when the memory card is in your i885 phone.

To ensure the files on your memory card are compatible with your i885 phone, use the folder structure, filename rules, and formats described in the following sections.

Folder Structure

The first time you insert the memory card into your phone, your phone creates folders on the memory card. When you save files from your computer to the memory card, save each file to the appropriate folder:

• The Music folder is for music files you will play using the audio player. Files in this folder cannot be accessed from the Media Center.

• The Podcast folder is for podcasts you will play using the audio player. Files in this folder cannot be accessed from the Media Center.

Page 37

Ensuring Files on the Memory Card Are Compatible With Your Phone

• The Audio folder is for audio files you will play using the Media Center. Files in this folder cannot be accessed from the audio player.

• The Image folder in for pictures you will view using the Media Center.

• The Video folder is for videos you will play using the Media Center.

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 file name can contain both ASCII and Unicode characters.

• File names up to 32 characters long, including the file extension and folder name, can be displayed by your phone. File names up to 255 characters long, including the file extension and folder name, can be read by your phone. If a file name is more than 32 characters long, but no more than 255 characters long, your phone displays an abbreviated name for the file, but does not change the name of the file on the memory card.

Note: Only files with names no longer than 32

characters can be stored in your phone’s memory. When you copy or move a file with a longer name to your phone’s memory, you are prompted to rename the file.

• The file name must be in a language your phone can display. To see which languages your phone can display, select Settings > Display/Info > Language. Your phone can display the languages listed and other languages that use the same alphabets.

Playing Music Files with the Flip Closed

MP3 Music Player

Your i885 phone includes an MP3 Music Player that you can use to play music files stored on the memory card inserted in your phone.

The MP3 Music Player groups the music files on the memory card into folders and lists. When you select a music file to play, the MP3 Music Player plays this music file and then plays the other music files grouped with it.

In addition to music, the MP3 Music Player plays podcasts that you have downloaded to your computer and then saved on the memory card inserted in your phone. You can mark highlights within a podcast file to help you find the parts of the podcast you most want to listen to. You can send details of the podcast to a friend and send feedback to the podcast creator using MMS messages.

If you receive a phone call, Walkie-Talkie call, call alert, message notification, a Datebook reminder, or a GPS notification while playing a music file with the MP3 Music Player, the music file pauses and a prompt appears asking you if you want to accept the incoming call or alert or ignore it.

The MP3 Music Player begins playing at the currently selected volume, even when Vibe All is set to On.

To remove the memory card while using the audio player, press m and select Remove Card.

How Your Music Files Are Organized

The MP3 Music Player groups the music files on the memory card into folders and lists.

Since you will probably want to use the MP3 Music Player primarily to play songs, the MP3 Music Player treats the music files on the memory card as songs when grouping and organizing them.

The MP3 Music Player uses metadata found in most music files to group the files on the memory card by album, artist, and genre. You can also create your own groupings of music files, called playlists.

When you access the MP3 Music Player, you see that the music files are grouped into these folders:

• Songs — All music 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.

Features for the Hearing Impaired

Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid

For best results use the following optimization procedures and handset setting. They generally apply as well for users with cochlear implants:

Optimize Your Handset Position and Orientation

While in a phone call slide your phone up and down, then left and right until best microphone coupling is obtained. You also may need to adjust your hearing aid (HA) volume setting.

If your HA has a telecoil, activate its switch, then also rotate the handset as illustrated to align the telecoils.

Note: Some automatically switched hearing aids

may need an auxiliary switching magnet.

If you are unsure whether your HA is telecoil equipped or needs an auxiliary magnet, please contact your HA user guide, professional or supplier.

Approximate telecoil location is within 6-13 mm of this location.

Off - Shut off M - Microphone T - Telecoil

Approximate telecoil location is just above the battery.

Optimize Your Handset Antenna Position

Your phone’s rating for HA compatibility is determined with the antenna extended if it has an extendable antenna. However acceptable use might occur with the antenna retracted. Test your handset in both antenna positions when the handset is in the optimum orientation.
