Battery Use and Maintenance

• 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.

Getting Started

• 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.

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 Nextel phone letting you know that activation is complete. Simply turn your phone off and back on again to complete activation.

Here is additional information you need to be aware of until the number you have brought 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 Nextel phone and your temporary phone number is deactivated. If you set up your voice mail box prior to this, all messages and all settings (including your greeting 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 Nextel phone.

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 Nextel phone if in the meantime your Nextel phone has been programmed with your permanent phone number. As with any wireless 911 call, if your call is disconnected before location and details have been provided, be sure to call 911 again and advise that you were disconnected.

Making Calls

Dialing Direct Connect® Numbers

Every Direct Connect number has 3 parts — an area ID, a network ID, and a member ID — with an asterisk between each of these parts. For example: 999*999*9999.

When you place a Direct Connect call, you must enter the whole Direct Connect number including the asterisks.

Tip: When you store a Direct Connect number in

Contacts, it is good pr actice to include the whole Direct Connect number, including the asterisks.

Group ConnectSM Calls

A Group Connect call is similar to a Direct Connect call, but is made to multiple Direct Connect users at once. You can create Groups from your phone and call up to 20 Nextel users anywhere on the Nextel national network to other Group Connect-compatible phones*. You can create a Group for one-time use or store it to Contacts so you can call it at any time.

* Not all phones are Group Connect-compatible. See

www.nextel.com for more details on Group Connect.

Note: In order to store Groups to your i355, you

must use the 128K SIM card that came with your phone. The 128K SIM card is labeled "Nextel 600 Contcs & 25 Grps". With this SIM card, a maximum of 25 groups can be added to your entries created with your not readable by an older iDEN SIM-based phone.
