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.
22Section 2A: Phone Basics
Page 41
Battery Use and Battery Safety
䢇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.
䢇Battery usage by children should be supervised.
䢇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:
䡲 Remove the battery and inspect it to confirm that it
bears a Motorola “Original Equipment” hologram;
䡲 If there is no hologram, the battery is not a qualified
Phone Basics
battery;
䡲 If there is a hologram, replace the battery and retry
charging it;
䡲 If the message remains, contact a Motorola
Authorized Service Center.
䢇New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take
more time to charge.
䢇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.
䢇When storing your battery, keep it in a cool, dry place.
Section 2A: Phone Basics23
Page 42
䢇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.
䢇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.
䢇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.

TTY Use With Sprint Service
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf,
hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities,
to communicate by telephone.
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please
check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure
that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and
TTY device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your
phone's headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your
TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase
the connector cable.
When establishing your Sprint service, please call Sprint
Your Ph one’s Settings
Customer Service via the state Telecommunications Relay
Service (TRS) by first dialing
state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

WARNING!
911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency
calls by other means, including Telecommunications
Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline
communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be
corrupted when received by public safety answering
points (PSAPs), rendering some communications
unintelligible. The problem encountered appears
related to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs.
This matter has been brought to the attention of the
FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP
community are currently working to resolve this.

⽧Understanding Roaming

⽧Using Data Roam Guard
Roaming is the ability to make or receive phone calls when you’re
2
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.

Page 95
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.

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the Sprint National Network, you
may not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail
messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need
to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if you
