If no SIM card came with your phone, contact Nextel Customer Service at 1-800-639-6111.

Phone Basics

IMPORTANT

The SIM card is designed for optimal Contacts storage and feature use. For Nextel SIM card compatibility information, visit

www.nextel.com/sim.

In some cases, Contacts and Groups may not be accessible if you move your SIM card to another phone. Contacts and Groups created with your i335 phone may not be readable by an older iDEN SIMbased phone.

Inserting Your SIM Card

To insert your SIM card:

1. Detach the SIM card from the larger card in which it is

lodged.

2. With your phone powered off, remove the battery door

and battery. See “Removing the Battery” on page 17.

Section 1B: Your Phone: The Basics 11

3. With your fingers, carefully slide the SIM card into your

phone, until it lies flat in the SIM card holder.

IMPORTANT

Do not touch the gold-colored areas of your SIM card.

Removing Your SIM Card

IMPORTANT

To remove your SIM card:

1. With your phone powered off, remove the battery door

and battery. See “Removing the Battery” on page 17.

Protect your SIM card as you would any delicate object. Store

Note

it carefully.

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Phone Basics

WAR NI NG

Use only Nextel-approved or Motorola-approved batteries and chargers with your phone. The failure to use a Nextel-approved or Motorola-approved battery and charger may increase the risk that your phone overheats, catches fire, or explodes, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

Nextel-approved and Motorola-approved batteries and accessories can be found at Sprint Stores, through Motorola, or by calling 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re also available at

www.nextel.com – just click the Accessories link.

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, your phone makes a sound and displays a message. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.

Long light settings, searching for service, vibrate mode,

Note

browser use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby time.

Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and

Tip

charge the battery before it runs out of power.

Section 1B: Your Phone: The Basics 13

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

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.

14 Section 1B: Your Phone: The Basics

䢇 It is normal for battery life to decrease over time, 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.

Phone Basics

WAR NI NG

Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.

Section 1B: Your Phone: The Basics 15

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off, and you 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 on your display screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the phone makes a sound and displays a message.
