Using the Battery and Charger

WAR NIN G!
Use only Sprint-approved or Motorola-approved batteries and chargers with your device. The failure to use a Sprint-approved or Motorola-approved battery and charger may increase the risk that your device will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
Sprint-approved or Motorola-approved batteries and accessories can be found at Sprint Stores, through Motorola; or call 1-888-242-4187 to order. They’re also available at

Battery Use and Maintenance
Sprint-approved or Motorola-approved Li-Ion chargers
provide optimum performance. Other chargers may not fully charge the Li-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).
Li-Ion batteries have a self-discharge rate and, without

Charging the Battery
Your device’s Li-Ion battery is rechargeable and should be charged as soon as possible so you can begin using your device.
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your device automatically turns off, and you will lose all the information you were just working on. For a quick check of your device’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper­right corner of the display screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon blinks and the device sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Sprint-approved or Motorola-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.

Synchronizing and Using Email

In This Section
Synchronizing
Using Email
You can synchronize information on your device over the air or while connected to your PC. Among other benefits, this feature
allows you to access your email accounts from your device. This section describes the types of synchronization available, tells you how to use them, and tells you how to use the email feature available on your device.
IMPORTANT
Before You Sy nchronize
Before attempting to use email, synchronize information, or set up your device to synchronize using a PC as described in this section, read and follow the instructions in the Setting Up Email guide to set up your email accounts on your device and set your synchronization options.
56 Section 2F: Synchronizing and Using Email

Synchronizing

You can synchronize the information on your device in two ways:
Over the air, wirelessly, from a server.Using your desktop computer (PC) and a USB cable
connection, Bluetooth connection, or infrared connection.
The types of information you can synchronize depends on the type of connection you are making:
If you are synchronizing over the air directly to your
company’s Microsoft Exchange Server using the ActiveSync program on your device, you can synchronize email, contacts, calendar, and tasks.
If you are synchronizing over the air to your company’s
server using Good Mobile Messaging, you can synchronize email, contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes.
If you are synchronizing over the air to your MSN
Hotmail® account or other ISP or Web-based personal email account, you can synchronize email.
If you are synchronizing using your PC and a USB cable,
Bluetooth, or infrared connection, you can synchronize email, contacts, calendar, and media. To do this, you must install the ActiveSync program that came with your device onto your PC.
Synchronizing Over the Air
You can use your device to synchronize email and other information over the air. To learn how to do this, see the Setting Up Email guide that came with your device. This guide helps you determine which over-the-air email set-up you want to use on your device, tells you how to set up email on your device, and how to synchronize over the air.
Sync and Email
Section 2F: Synchronizing and Using Email 57
Use the instructions in the Setting Up Email guide to set up your email accounts on your device and set your synchronization options before attempting to use email, synchronize information, or set up your device to synchronize using a PC.
Synchronizing Using a PC
Note:
If you want to synchronize information over the air directly to your company’s Microsoft Exchange Server, follow the instructions for setting up an Exchange Server account in the Setting Up Email guide before following the instruc tions in this section.
You can use Microsoft ActiveSync version 4.2 or later to synchronize information between your device and PC. Microsoft ActiveSync version 4.2 is on the CD included with your device.
ActiveSync compares your device’s email messages, contact information, calendar appointments, and media files to those on your computer and then updates to the most recent information.
You can also use Windows Media Player version 10 or later to synchronize your media files (see “Using the Media Player” on page 94).

Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Understanding Roaming
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls and transmit or receive data when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Your new MOTO Q by Motorola works anywhere on the Sprint National Network and allows you to roam other networks where we’ve implemented roaming agreements with other carriers.
Recognizing the Roaming Icon
Your device’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Any time you are roaming, the device displays the roaming icon (ã).
Remember, when you are using your device off the Sprint
Tip:
National Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 +
area code + number).
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls on the Sprint National Network. However, depending on the network available where you are roaming, certain features may not be available.
If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint National
Note:
Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area
where you think Sprint service is available, turn your device
off and on again to reconnect to the network. You will be
charged roaming rates when accessing voicemail while
roaming off the network.
74 Section 2G: Customizing Your Device
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the Sprint National Network, you may not receive on-device notification of new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming service area for an extended period of time.
To check your voicemail while roaming:
1. Dial 1 + area code + your phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press *
.
3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice
prompts.
When you return to the network, voicemail notification will resume as normal.
Setting Your Device’s Roam Mode
Your device allows you to control your roaming capabilities.
To set your device’s roam mode:
1. Press Start (left softkey).
2. Select Settings > Phone Settings > Network.
In the Network Select field, use the
Navigation key (S) to select your roaming mode:
Sprint Only allows you to access the Sprint National
Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.
Automatic seeks Sprint service. When Sprint service
is unavailable, the device searches for an alternate system. This is the default setting.
Roam Only forces the device to seek a roaming
system.
