Nextel-approved and Motorola-approved batteries and accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through Motorola. You may order online at calling 1-866-866-7509.

Your phone’s Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery allows you to recharge it 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 turns off.

Use only Nextel-approved or Motorolaapproved 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 will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

When you make an emergency call, your phone’s GPS Enabled feature can help emergency service personnel find you, if you are in a location where your phone's GPS antenna has established a clear view of the open sky and your local emergency response center has the equipment to process location information. See “GPS Enabled” on page 115, and particularly “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind” on page 116 and “Making an Emergency Call” on page 116, for more information on the limitations of this feature. Because of the limitations of this feature, always provide your best knowledge of your location to the emergency response center when you make an emergency call.

Emergency calls cannot be placed while the keypad is locked.

If you have not registered on the network, emergency calls cannot be placed while your SIM card is in your phone.

If you are bringing your phone number to Nextel from your previous carrier, you may receive a temporary telephone number while your Nextel phone is being programmed with your permanent phone number. If you make a call to 911 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 telephone number. If the call is disconnected before location and details have been provided, call 911 again and advise that you were disconnected.

䢇 Private calls – two-way radio calls conducted off the

network and using the wireless phone numbers of the participants. In these calls, others using the same channel cannot listen in.

When using Direct Talk mode, the two phones should be a minimum of six feet apart to maximize performance and improve transmission range. You can only make Direct Talk calls to users located within your range. This varies according to terrain, man-made structures, and atmospheric conditions.

Most traditional phone features are not available in Direct Talk mode, including on-network phone calls; Direct Connect, Group Connect, Talkgroup calls, and Call Alerts; data services; messaging; call timers; and call forwarding.
