•The Motorola iDEN Approved Lithium Ion chargers provide optimum performance.
Other chargers may not fully charge the iDEN Lithium Ion battery or may yield a
reduced number of lifetime charge cycles.
•Extreme temperatures degrade battery performance. Do not store the battery where
temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C) or fall below 4°F (-20°C).
•Lithium Ion batteries have a self discharge rate and without use, lose about 1% of
their charge per day.
•The battery capacity is degraded if the battery is stored for long periods while fully
charged. If long term storage is required, store at half capacity.

Bringing Your Phone Number From
Another Carrier
If you are bringing your phone number from another carrier, your new phone will be
active as soon as you receive it. Nextel will provide you with a temporary phone number
so that you can begin using your Smartphone immediately. Once the number you have
brought to Nextel is activated, your temporary phone number will be deactivated and
service with your previous carrier will be cancelled automatically. You will receive a text
message on your Smartphone letting you know that activation is complete. Simply turn
your Smartphone off and back on again to complete activation.
Here is addi tional inform ation you need to be aware o f until t he number you have b rought
to Nextel is active on the Nextel network:
Nextel® Voice Mail
We suggest you set up your voice mail box after the number you brought to Nextel is
active on your Smartphone and your temporary phone number is deactivated. If you set
up your voi ce m ail bo x pr ior to this, all messa ges a nd all sett ings ( incl uding your gr eeting
and password) will be lost when the number you have brought to Nextel becomes active.
Text Messaging
During the activation process, it is possible that text messages may not be properly
routed to your Smartphone.
911 Calls
Nextel continues to make efforts to ensure that all 911 calls are minimally impacted by
this process. If you make a call to 911 from your temporary phone number and the call
fails, the 911 emergency response center will not be able to call you back on your
Smartphone if in the meantime your Smartphone has been programmed with your
permanent phone number. As with any wireless 911 call, if your call is disconnected
before location and det ails have been pr ovided, be sure to cal l 911 again and advis e that
you were disconnected.

Making Emergency Phone Calls
Your Smartphone supports emergency calling. Emergency phone calls can be made
even when your SIM card is blocked or not in your Smartphone.
Dial 911 to be connected to an emergency response center.
When you make an emergency call, your Smartphone’s GPS Enabled feature can help
emergency service personnel find you, if you are in a location where your Smartphone's
GPS antenna has established a clear view of the open sky and your local emergency
response center has the equi pmen t to process location informat io n. See “GPS Enabled”
on page 158, and particularly “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind” on page 158 and
“Making an Emergency Call” on page 159, for more information on the limitations of this
feature. Because of the limitations of this feature, always prov ide your best knowledge of
your location to the emergency response center when you make an emergency call.
Important: If you have not registered on the network, emergency calls cannot
be placed while your SIM card is in your Smartphone.
Important: If you are bringing your phone number to Nextel from your previous
carrier, you may receive a temporary telephone number while your
Smartphone is being programmed with your permanent phone
number. If you make a call to 911 and the call fails, the 911
emergency respo nse center will no t be able to cal l yo u back on yo ur
Smartphone if in the meantime, your Smartphone has been
programmed with your permanent telephone number. If the call is
disconnected before location and details have been provided, call
911 again and advise that you were disconnected.

Setting Up Wireless E-mail
52
Setti n g U p Wire l e ss E -mail
There are two primary ways to set up your Smartphone to wirelessly synchronize your email, so you can send and receive e-mail messages from your Smartphone:
•Corporate E-mail — Synchronize the Outlook E-mail, Calendar, and Contacts on
your Smartphone with Microsoft® Outlook® E-mail, Calendar, and Contacts on your
Microsoft® Exchange server 2003.
Note: If your comp an y does not u se Micr osoft Exchange serv er 2 003, there are othe r
solutions available that may enable you to wirelessly synchronize with your
corporate e-mail , depe nding on the othe r type of e- mai l ser ver you h ave. Go to
sprint.com for more details.
•Personal E-mail — Connect to a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail server to send and receive
Internet e-mail messages.
Making Sure You Have the Correct Data
Access Plan
Before setting up e-mail on your new Smartphone, make sure you have updated your
data plan to o ne with unlimited access. Users who rel y on e-ma il or o ther data services to
keep them connected “on-the-go”, typically require frequent data use and need a plan
that includes a data access bundle. This will ensure that you don’t incur extra charges
every time you synchronize e-mail or go to a Web site – unlimited data access plans
allow you to access everything you need to – as many times as you need to – without
any extra charges. To be sure you have the right plan, talk to your sales representative
or call Sprint Customer Care at 800-639-6111.
Setting up Corpo rat e E-mail , Calendar, and
Contacts
Your Smartphone includes Outlook E-mail, Calendar, and Contacts applications. You
can synchronize t hese applic ations wit h your corp orate E-ma il, Calenda r, an d Contacts if
your company i s using Micr osoft E xcha nge 2003 with A ctiveS ync. Whe n you set u p you r
Smartphone to wirelessly synchronize, the E-mail, Calendar, and Contacts on your
phone synchronize with your Outlook on the corporate Exchange server. Only those
applications that are marked for synchronization on your Smartphone are copied in this
manner.
Note: If your company does not use Microsoft® Exchange server 2003, there are
other solutions available that may enable you to wirelessly synchronize with
your corporate e-mail. Go to sprint.com for more details.
To set up your corporate e-mail account, locate the following information before you
begin:
•Make sure your e-mail is running on Microsoft Exchange 2003.
•Get your corporate network server domain name and server name (these may be the
same as your company’s Web mail log-in information, or you can get the information
from your system administrator).
•You must also know your E xchan ge user name a nd p assword to synchro ni ze with the
server.

Creating a Synchronization Schedule
After you set up your Smartphone to access your corporate E-mail, Calendar, and
Contacts, you can create an automated schedule for wirelessly synchronizing the
information. You can schedule synchronization of your Smartphone on 2 separate time
schedules. Use the peak times schedule to synchronize during working hours or other
times you experience higher mail volumes. Use the off-peak schedule to synchronize
during times when you experience lower mail volumes. When you are roaming, you can
synchronize manually to reduce roaming charges, or you can synchronize using the
mobile schedules.
Note: To edit schedule settings, your Smartphone must be disconnected from your
desktop computer.
1On the Home screen, select Start.
2Select ActiveSync.
3Select Menu and then Options.
4Select Mobile Schedule.
5Select how often to synchronize in the Peak t ime syn c (during the work day) list. T he
recommended setting is Every 30 Minutes, or less frequently.
6Select how often to synchro nize in the Off-p eak tim e syn c (evening and weekends)
list. The recommended setting is Manually.
7Select whether or not to synchronize on a schedule in the Roaming sync list. The
recommended setting is Manually, be cause your sync costs will be on a different
plan with International Wireless Data Services (GPRS) roaming.
8Select Sync outgoing items as they are sent to synchronize every time you send
e-mail.
9Select Done.
The recommended setting for Peak time sync is Every 30 Minutes, or less frequently,
for the following reasons:
•When your Smartphone is synchronizing (in a data session), you cannot receive
cellular service (an incoming call, for example). A less frequent synchronization
schedule will reduce the chances that you may miss a call.
•Every time you synchronize there is a reduction in battery life. A less frequent
synchronization schedule will keep your battery life stronger, for a longer period of
time.
•You can always initiate a manual sync in case you need to make sure you have the
latest information.
Synchronizing Automatically
Note: If you set up more than three e-mail accounts on the Smartphone to
synchronize automatically, the settings will automatically revert to manual.
With ActiveSync you can schedule au tomatic synchronization b etween your Smartpho ne
and a server every time an item arrives or is changed at the server. Your Smartphone is
informed of that event and synchronizes automatically to retrieve those items, making
your Smartphone always up-to-date. You must synchronize your Smartphone at least
once (such as after creating a partnership) before you can see and change the settings
for synchronization as items arrive.

Another way to send and receive e-mail messages is by using your personal Internet email account. To set up an Internet e-mail account on your Smartphone, you need to
know which type of e-mail server hosts your mail box: IMAP4 or POP3. You also need
your e-mail user name and password, and your domain name. If you are not sure,
contact your Internet Mail Provider’s Help Desk.
Some popular IMAP4 or POP3 Internet E-mail accounts include: aol.com, comcast.net,
yahoo.com, bellsouth.net, earthlink.net, mindspring.com, and pacbell.net. Check with
your provider to find out if they require you to upgrade to a premium account in order to
gain access with your Smartphone.

Your Smartphone is already set up for voice mail messaging, if your phone service
includes this feature.
Note: To r eceive voic e mail messages, you must first set up yo ur voic e m ail box. S ee
“Nextel® Voice Mail”.
This chapter describes ho w to work wi th messag es on your Sm artphone . It discusses th e
following topics:
•Working with messaging accounts
•Creating, sending, and receiving messages
•Importing text messages
•Viewing and responding to messages
•Working with large messages and attachments
•Working with message folders
•Customizing message notifications
•Using MSN® Messenger for instant messaging
For information on setting up personal and corporate e-mail accounts, see “Setting Up
Wireless E-mail” on page 52.
Understanding Messaging Features
You can compose and view e-mail messages and media messages directly on your
Smartphone. You can also use instant messaging with MSN Messenger.
While on the Nextel iDEN digital network, you can receive text messages (SMS). While
roaming on a GSM network, you can send or recieve text messages.
E-mail Messaging
There are 4 ways to send and receive e-mail messages with the Smartphone:
•By wirelessly synchronizi ng your Ou tlook E -mail In box folder w ith Micro soft® Outlook®
on your Microsoft® Exchange server.
•By wirelessly connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail server to send and receive
Internet e-mail messages.
•By synchronizing your Outlook E-mail Inbox folder with Microsoft Outlook on your
desktop computer usin g ActiveSync desktop cli ent and the Sync Cradle and mi ni USB
cable.
•Use Pocket Internet Explorer to view Web-based e-mail.
For information on setting up personal and corporate e-mail accounts, see “Setting Up
Wireless E-mail” on page 52.

Te xt Messaging (SMS)
You can send and recieve text messages only in GSM mode. While using the Nextel
iDEN digital network, you can only recieve text messages.
In GSM mode, you can send and receive text messages up to 160 characters in size.
While using the iDEN network, you can recieve messages up to 500 characters long.
The advantages of text messaging include the following:
•Text messages are sent instantly.
•Text messages can be sent or received at any time, except during a data call, Walkie-
Talkie call, or Talkgroup call.
•Most mobile phones support text messages, so most recipients can read text
messages that you send.
Note: You cannot synchronize text messages with your desktop computer, and you
cannot use text messages to send or receive attachments or voice notes.
Media Messaging (MMS)
Media messages are composed of 1 or more pages, and each page can contain up to 1
picture, text region, and sound. Thus, when the recipient opens your media message,
the experience is similar to watching a simple slideshow. The recipient must download
the message before viewing it.
You can create media messages of up to 100 KB in size, including pictures and sound
files.
The advantages of media messages include the following:
•After the message has been downloaded, media messages essentially “play” the
picture or sound you attach to the message, so the recipient does not have to
download each attached file.
•Media messages can be sent or rece ived any ti me your Smar tpho ne is turned on and
not in a voice or data call.
Instant Messaging
You can use MSN® Messenger on the Smartphone to send and receive instant
messages. MSN Messen ger on the Smartphone provides the same chat environme nt as
MSN Messenger on your desktop computer. For example, you can chat with a single
MSN Messenger contact, or with several contacts at once. You can switch between
active chats, block contacts, and configure display settings, such as your name and
current status (Away, Online, and so on).
An external QWERTY mini-keyboard for easy text entry can be purchased at sprint.com
or by calling call 1-800-NEXTEL6.
For information on setting up the Smartphone for instant messaging, see “Sending and
Receiving Instant Messages” on page 72.

Placing Worldwide Calls
Placing international calls has never been easier. The phone and Nextel Worldwide
Service include access to multiple networks so you can get connected and stay
connected. Use “+ Dialing” when making calls from one country to another, or within a
foreign country. To place an international call using the “+ Dialing” feature, see “+
Dialing” on page 76.
+ Dialing
+ Dialing lets you quickly place an international call without entering the local
international access code. + Dialing can be used for country-to-country calls as well as
local or long distance calls in a foreign country.
1Press and hold 0 for two seconds. A “0” appears, then changes to a “+.”
Note: The network translates the “+” into the appropriate international access code
needed to place the call.
2Enter the country code, city code or area code, and phone number.
3Press s.
Direct Dial
1Manually enter the international access code (varies per country) plus the country
code, city or area code, and phone number.
2Press s.
Note: If an international call cannot be completed using + Dialing, use Direct Dial.
Please be aware that many in-country phone numbers will require a “0” before
the local number.
Setting the Way Your Phone Searches for
Networks
When you are traveling internationally, you may want to configure the phone to search
for a specific network or enable it to select the best network. You do this using the iDEN/GSM Selection setting.
There are six options available:
Note: Your pho ne come s progr amm ed wit h Last acti ve as the defa ult setti ng. Thi s is
the recommended setting, which reduces network registration time.
•Last active — This option enables the phone to switch between iDEN and GSM
systems that do not overlap. For example, you send or receive calls on an iDEN
network while in New Y or k. Then you travel to Paris. Your phone will first search for an
iDEN network. If it cannot locate one, it will automatically search for a GSM network.
Your Smartphone will always register on the last active mode.
•iDEN preferred — This option is useful if your home system is iDEN and you travel to
a country or region where GSM coverage is also available. Your Smartphone always
searches first for iDEN networks. If an iDEN network is not found, your phone will then
search for a GSM network.
Page 84
Nextel Worldwide® Services
77
•GSM prefer re d —This option is useful if your home system is GSM and you travel to
a country or region where iDEN is also available. Your phone will always search for
GSM networks first. If a GSM network is not found, your phone will then search for an
iDEN network.
•iDEN only — This option is useful when you are in an area that is covered by iDEN
and GSM networks, but you want to use iDEN. Your Smartphone attempts to register
only on iDEN networks. Thi s is the optim al setting you should set your Smartphone to
when in a Nextel iDEN service region.
•GSM only — This option is useful when you are in an area that is covered by iDEN
and GSM, but you want to use GSM. Your Smartphone attempts to register only on
GSM networks. T his i s th e op timal setting you should se t your S mar tphon e to when in
a region with only GSM carriers.
•Roam — This option is useful when you are in an overlapping system-coverage area
and have no preference fo r either the iDEN or the GSM network. Your Smartphon e will
switch between iDEN and GSM until it finds an acceptable network.
Note: Be aware that some features that are supported by the Nextel iDEN network
are not supported when you connect to a GSM network.

1On the Home screen, select Start.

Searching for a Network
While you are on a GSM network, you can perform an automatic or manual search for
available networks. A manual search allows you to view the available networks and
make a selection rather than use the network automatically selected by the Nextel
Worldwide Service.
Note: Your phone will automatically attempt to register with networks that have
agreements with Nextel. By manually selecting a network, you may choose a
network that does not have an agre emen t with Nextel or doe s not off er opti mal
coverage in that area.
