Getting Started Guide

W408g

congratulations

The MOTO™ W408g does it all. Use the music player or radio to listen to the newest, hottest tracks, and with a stereo wired headset or high quality Bluetooth® stereo headset, listening has never been easier. Or, take photos and video clips, and share them with your friends in a multimedia message. All this while you’re still connected —take or make voice calls and exchange messages.

We’ve crammed all of the main features of your phone into this handy guide, and in a matter of minutes, we’ll show you just how easy your phone is to use. So go on, avoid those “I’m not sure how to send a photo” moments and check it out.
