To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:
1. Press and hold O to turn the phone on.
2. Press Unlock (right softkey).
Tip:
To select a softkey, press the button directly below the text appearing on the bottom left and right of your display screen. Softkey actions change according to the screen you are viewing.

the code is not visible as you type.)

If you can't recall your lock code, try using the last four digits of your wireless phone number. If this doesn't work, call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727.

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
WARNING!
Use only Sprint-approved or Motorola-approved batteries and chargers with your phone. The failure to use a Sprint-approved or Motorola-approved battery and charger may increase the risk that your phone 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
www.sprint.com — click Accessories.
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are just a few minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an alert and then powers down.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser use, and other variables may affect battery life.
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.
22 Section 2A: Phone Basics
Page 41
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
Phone Basics
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.
Section 2A: Phone Basics 23
Page 42
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.
WARNI NG! Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may
explode.

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

Alerting Yourself to Roaming
Using Data Roam Guard
Roaming is the ability to make or receive phone calls when you’re

off the Sprint National Network. Your new MOTORAZR
V9m 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.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you manage your roaming experience.

Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ).
Tip:
Note:
Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint National Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Unless your service plan includes roaming, you will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
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, you may not be able to access certain features, such as the browser or Messaging.
Note:
If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint National Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the network.
