Li-Ion

Maximum	3.5 hours	9 hours
Capacity
Li-Ion

For best results, charge the batteries within the temperature range of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C).

Prolonged charging is not recommended.

Removing the Battery

1With the phone powered off, remove the battery door.

2Remove the battery by pushing it toward the antenna and lifting it out.

Battery Use and Maintenance

•The Motorola iDEN Approved chargers provide optimum performance. Other chargers may not fully charge the iDEN 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).

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

Battery

•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.

Sleep Mode

To conserve battery supply, your phone uses Sleep mode. With Sleep mode, after your phone has been idle for a specified interval, the display on your phone will turn off.

You can set your phone to enter Sleep mode after 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, or 15 minutes of inactivity. See “Display/Info Features” on page 150.

Sleep mode turns off when you either press a key or receive a call alert or phone call.

Holster

When you place your i615 phone in the holster that you received with your phone, your phone will go into Sleep mode to preserve the phone’s battery life. The holster contains a magnet that activates Sleep mode on your phone.

Note: Maintain a minimum distance of 1/4 inch between the magnet and any media that contains digital information, such as credit cards, debit cards, etc., as this digital information could be erased by the magnet.

SIM Card Security

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

Note: Except for making emergency calls, your phone will not function without the SIM card.

To prevent unauthorized use of your phone, your SIM card 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, the personal data on your SIM card is not protected. Anyone can use your phone and access your personal data.

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

SIM Card Security

Note: If a SIM PIN is required, your phone will not function until the SIM PIN is entered, except for making emergency calls.

1From the main menu, select Settings > Security > SIM PIN.

2Select On or Off.

3Enter the current SIM PIN.

Note: The default SIM PIN is 0000. Change your PIN to prevent fraudulent use of the SIM card (see “Changing the PIN” on page 14).

4 Press A under Ok.

Entering the PIN

1Press * # m 1.

2At your Nextel Customer Service representative’s request, provide the information needed to give you a PUK code.

3Select Unblock PIN.

Note: Protect your SIM card as you would any delicate object. Store it carefully.

Locking the Keypad

Locking the phone’s keypad prevents its buttons from being pressed. When the keypad is locked, you can only:

•Power the phone on and off

•Unlock the keypad

•Respond to incoming calls, messages, and alerts

Important: Emergency calls cannot be placed while the keypad is locked.

To lock or unlock the keypad:

1From the idle screen, press m.

2Press *.

If you press a key while the keypad is locked, instructions for unlocking the keypad display briefly.

You also have the option of setting your phone to automatically lock the keypad if there has been no activity for a specified time.

1From the main menu, select Settings > Security > Keypad Lock.

2To lock the keypad immediately, select Lock Now. You will be given the option to press m and * to lock and unlock the keypad.

3To set a specific time for the keypad to lock if there has been no activity, select Auto Lock and then select a time.

The keypad can be set to lock in 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes if the keypad is not touched during the specified time. To turn the auto lock off, repeat step 3 and select Off.

Antenna

The retractable antenna on your i615 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 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 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.

Accessories

Your phone comes with a Maximum Capacity Li-Ion Battery, rapid travel charger, and holster.

Getting Started

Note: When you place your i615 phone into the holster, your phone goes into Sleep mode.

Various accessories are available for use with your i615 phone, including cases, vehicle power chargers, data cables, hands-free accessories, Bluetooth accessories, and more.

To order additional accessories, go to www.sprint.com or call 1-800-Nextel6. You can also contact your Nextel Authorized Sales Representative or stop by any Sprint Store. For information on Sprint Store locations, go to www.sprint.com.

Bringing Your Phone Number From

Another Carrier

If you are bringing your phone number from another carrier, your new phone will be active as soon as you receive it. Nextel will provide you with a temporary phone number so that you can begin using your phone immediately. Once the number you have brought to Nextel is activated, your temporary phone number will be deactivated and service with your previous carrier will be cancelled

automatically. You will receive a text message on your phone letting you know that activation is complete. Simply turn your phone off and back on again to complete activation.

Here is additional information you need to be aware of until the number you have brought to Nextel is active on the Nextel® National Network:

Nextel® Voicemail

We suggest you set up your voicemail box after the number you brought to Nextel is active on your Nextel phone and your temporary phone number is deactivated. If you set up your voicemail box prior to this, all messages and all settings (including your greeting and password) will be lost when the number you have brought to Nextel becomes active.

Text Messaging

During the activation process, it is possible that text messages may not be properly routed to your phone.

911 Calls

Nextel continues to make efforts to ensure that all 911 calls are minimally impacted by this process. If you make a call to 911 from your temporary phone number and the call fails, the 911 emergency response center will not be able to call you back on your Nextel phone if in the meantime your Nextel phone has been programmed with your permanent phone number. As with any wireless 911 call, if your call is disconnected before location and details have been provided, be sure to call 911 again and advise that you were disconnected.

Go to www.sprint.com/bringyournumber for more details.
