Congratulations
Thanks for purchasing the MOTOROLA RAMBLERTM
wireless phone! It’s an affordable phone with a sleek
design that’s sure to get attention.
Impressive Inside and Out. Sleek styling with all the
right features, including rich imaging and multimedia.
Take pictures and videos in a snap with the 1.3
megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom (see page 27).
Messaging is Easy. Your phone’s full QWERTY keypad
makes text entry quick and easy (see page 19). Your
text message conversations look like IM exchanges
(see page 24).
My Phone, My Way. It’s your phone—make it that
way. Customize your home screen with personal
pictures (see page 12). Set different ringtones to
identify calls from different contacts (see page 22).
Caution: Before assembling, charging or using your
phone for the first time, please read “Safety,
Regulatory & Legal” on page 35.
