Battery Use and Battery Safety
Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded
batteries and chargers. The warranty does not cover damage caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers.
Caution:
Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Improper battery use, or use of a damaged battery, may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
Battery usage by children should be supervised.Important: Motorola mobile devices are designed to work
best with qualified batteries. If you see a message on your display such as Invalid Battery or Unable to Charge, take the following steps:
Remove the battery and inspect it to confirm that it
bears a Motorola “Original Equipment” hologram;
If there is no hologram, the battery is not a qualified
battery;
If there is a hologram, replace the battery and retry
charging it;
If the message remains, contact a Motorola
Authorized Service Center.
New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take
more time to charge.
Charging precautions: When charging your battery, keep it
near room temperature. Never expose batteries to temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F) when charging. Always take your mobile device with you when you leave your vehicle.
When storing your battery, keep it in a cool, dry place.
Your D e v ice
Section 2B: Getting to Know Your Device 23
It is normal over time for battery life to decrease, and for
the battery to exhibit shorter runtime between charges or require more frequent or longer charging times.
Avoid damage to battery and mobile device. Do not
disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, or submerge the battery or mobile device. Avoid dropping the battery or mobile device, especially on a hard surface. If your battery or mobile device has been subjected to such damage, take it to a Motorola Authorized Service Center before using. Do not attempt to dry it with an appliance or heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.
Use care when handling a charged battery — particularly
when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. Contact with metal objects (e.g., jewelry, keys, beaded chains) could complete an electrical circuit (short circuit), causing the battery to become very hot, which could cause damage or injury.
Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Contact your local recycling center for proper battery disposal.

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 computer. 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 Synchronize
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 before attempting to use email, synchronize information, or set up your device to synchronize using a computer as described in this section.
58 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 and a USB cable connection
or Bluetooth connection.
The types of information you can synchronize depend 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 ISP or Web-
based personal email account, you can synchronize email.
If you are synchronizing using your computer and a USB
cable or Bluetooth connection, you can synchronize email, contacts, calendar, and media. To do this, you must install, to your computer, the Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center (for Vista) or Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 or later (for Windows XP and prior Windows operating systems) from the Getting Started CD that came with your device.
If you are synchronizing with a cable, you must use Microsoft Outlook 2003 or later. You cannot respond to email while the USB cable is disconnected.
Sync and Email
Section 2F: Synchronizing and Using Email 59
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.

Ensure that the Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Outlook versions are up to date before installing synchronization software.
To synchronize information between your device and computer, you can use Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center or Microsoft ActiveSync. Microsoft ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center are on the Getting Started CD included with your device. When you insert the CD into your computer, it automatically determines which application you should use.
60 Section 2F: Synchronizing and Using Email
These applications compare your device’s email messages, contact information, calendar appointments, and media files to those on your computer and then update 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 96).
Using Mobile® Device Center on Windows Vista™
Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center is the replacement for Microsoft ActiveSync on Windows Vista.
Some versions of Windows Vista come with Windows Mobile Device Center already installed. If Windows Mobile Device Center is not available on your Windows Vista computer, you can install it from the CD that came with your phone.
To set up synchronization in Windows Mobile Device Center:
1. Connect your phone to your computer. Windows Mobile
Device Center configures itself and then opens.
2. On the license agreement screen, click Accept.
3. On the Windows Mobile Device Center's Home screen,

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 9c by Motorola works anywhere on the Sprint National Network and allows you to roam on 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.
76 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.
1. Press Start (left softkey).
2. Select Settings > Phone Settings > Network.
In the Network Selection field, use the
Navigation key (S) to select your roaming mode:
Sprint Only allows you to access the Nationwide
Sprint PCS Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.
