AgION AntimicrobialTM — Built-in Protection for Your Phone
Motorola has inco rporated AgION antimicrobial into the painted surfaces of your phone to help provide protection against a broad range of product damaging bacteria, mold, and mildew.
Motorol a is the first wirel ess phon e manufa cturer to incorporate AgI ON antimi crobial into the phone's paint ed surfaces.
The antimicrobial technology is an example of Motorola's pursuit for innovation and creativity to produce the best quality wireless experience.
The antimicrobial tech nology in the paint on Motorola iDEN against product damage caused by microbes, but does not extend such prote c tion to t he user.
Versatile in application, the EPA-registered AgION additive is reco mmended for instit utional, commercial and consumer applicat ions. AgION antimicrobials are used in many settings including hospitals, off ices, schools and f ood processing facilities. They can also be found in leading footwear, fabrics, appliances, water coolers and architectural hardware.
®
phones he lps provide protection
Benefits of AgIONTM*
AgION antimicrobial technology helps provide
protecti on aga in st p r od uct d am ag in g bac ter i a on the painted surfaces of the phone.
AgION an timi cr o bial is effectiv e in pr otec ti n g the product against a broad spectru m of bacter ia.
AgION helps inhibit the ability of microbes to grow and spread on the pai nted sur faces of the phone.
The active ingr edient helps break down enzyme s in the microbe, inhibiting its ability to reprod uce an d sprea d on the pain ted sur face s of the ph one.
Studies have shown that su rfac e s with AgION antimicrobial can reduce the amount of ce rtain product damaging bacteria by 99%.
The AgION coating will protect the painted surfaces of the product against product damagi ng bacter ia for the life of the produc t.
* The antimicrobial technology is applied only to the painted
surfaces of the Motorola iDEN phones, thereby providing protection against damage to such surfaces caused by microbes, but does not extend such protection to the end user.
x
Safety
AgION antimicrobial protection is base d on
silver, a safe, non-toxic additive to the phone paint. Silver is widely used as an antimicrobial agent in many en vironments and industries.
AgION antimicrobial technology is safe to use. Thorough testing has show n the additive to be less toxic than table salt and less irritating than talcum powder.
How It Works
The technology continuously inhibit s the growth
of product damaging bacteria on the phone's painted surfaces.The active ingredient helps break down enzymes in the microbe, inhibiti ng its abil ity to repr oduc e and spre ad on th e pai nted surfaces on the phonee.
The active ingredient in AgION is silver, in the form of silv er io ns .
Accreditation
The AgION antimicrobia l compound is
registered wit h the Envi ronment al Protection Agency (EPA) as a preservative and bacteriostatic agent for use in the manufacturing of poly mers and plastics.
NSF, FDA-listed

How Yo ur Audio Files Are Organi zed

The audio pl ay er gr ou ps th e MP 3 audi o f i le s on t he memory card into folders and lists.
Since you will probably want to use the audio player primari ly to play songs, t he audio player treats the MP3 audio files on the memory card as songs when grouping and organizing them.
The audio player uses metadata found in most MP3 audio files to group the files on t he memory card by album, artist, and genre. You can also create your own groupings of audio files, called playlists.
When you access the audio player, you see that the audio files are grouped into these folders:
• Songs — All MP3 audio files on the memory card ins er t ed in you r ph one, li st ed al ph ab et ic ally by title.
• Playlists — Folders and lists you have create d. If you have not cr eated any playlists, this folder contains only the Favorite playlist, which is empty.
•Albums — Songs grouped by album. The albums are listed alphabetically by title. The songs on the albums are listed in the order that they no rmally appear on the album.

Searching By First Letter

•Artists — Songs grouped by artist. The artists are listed alphabetic ally by name. With in each artist’s folder, the songs ar e listed alphabetical ly by title.
•Genres — Songs grouped by artist. The artists are listed alphabetic ally by name. With in each artist’s folder, the songs ar e listed alphabetical ly by title.
In the Albums, Artists, and Genres folders, any MP3 audio files th at do not contain enough metadata to be grouped by album, artist, or genre are paced in a folder labelled “Unknown”.

Any time you are vie wing an al phabetical list of audio files or folders, you can go the items starting with any letter by using your phone’s keypad to enter that letter.

Playing a List, Repeat, and Shuffle

When you select an audio file to pla y , the audio player pl ays thi s au di o fil e an d th en play s the oth er audio files grouped with it. The repeat and shuffle features help determine which of these songs are played.
If you are not usin g the repeat or shuffle features, the audio player plays the audio file you select and then plays the rest of the files in the list or folder, in the order the y appear, until it gets to the end of the list or folder. The audio player then goes to the beginn ing of the list and pauses until you resume playing.
The repeat feature lets you set the audio player to play all the audio files in a list or folder, in order, starting again at the beginning of the lis t when it gets to th e e nd , wi thou t pau sing or sto ppi n g.
