: Motorola mobile devices
are designed to work best with
qualified batteries. If you see a
message on your display such as
Battery
or
Unable to Charge
, take the
following steps:
•
Remove the battery and inspect it to
confirm that it bears a Motorola
“Original Equipment” hologram;
•
If there is no hologram, the battery
is not a qualified battery;
•
If there is a hologram, replace the
battery and retry charging it;
•
If the message remains, contact a
Motorola Authorized Service Center.
•
New batteries or batteries stored for a
long time may take more time to
charge.
• Charging precautions:
When charging
your battery, keep it near room
Invalid
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.
•
When storing your battery, keep it in a
cool, dry place.
•
It is normal over time for battery life to
decrease, and for the battery to exhibit
shorter runtime between charges or
require more frequent or longer
charging times.
• 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

- 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.

When you charge the battery, the battery level
indicator at the upper right of the screen
shows charging progress. At least one
segment of the indicator must be visible to

charge from your computer
You can partially charge your phone’s
battery by connecting a Motorola-approved
USB cable from your phone’s mini-USB port
to a high power USB connector on a
computer (not a low-power one, such as the
USB connector on your keyboard or buspowered USB hub). Typically, USB high-power
connectors are located directly on your
computer.
Note:
The phone will be charged at a slower
rate than it is charged with the rapid charger.
Your computer must be turned on, and you
must have correct software drivers installed
on your computer. If the phone is off when
essentials

the USB cable is connected between the
computer and the phone, the phone will
power up in charging mode. This mode allows
the phone to charge fastest and quickest.
Note:
If the battery is very low, the phone will
not turn On, but will continue to charge at a
low rate. The phone will power up in charging
mode when the battery has been charged to
approximately 5% of its capacity. For faster
charging under a very low battery condition, it
is recommended to use the rapid charger
supplied with the handset.
If the phone is turned on while charging from
a computer, it will not fully charge the battery.
In this case, the battery charge will be
maintained approximately between 80% and
95% of the battery's capacity. Cables and

music player
Your phone includes a music player that you
can use to play music files stored in the Music
directory on the memory card inserted in your
phone.
The music player groups the music files into
folders and lists. When you select a music file
to play, the music player plays this file, then
plays the other music files grouped with it.
The music player also plays podcasts you
download to your computer and then save on
the Podcast directory on your phone’s
memory card. You can mark highlights within
a podcast file to help you find the parts you
most want to listen to.
You can send details of the podcast to a friend
and send feedback to the podcast creator
using MMS messages.

Note:
No serial port connectivity is provided
by your phone. Applications on the host
device which are expecting to receive the
GPS location information via a serial port must
instead use a Virtual Serial Comm Port.
The data sent to the host device is formatted
as prescribed in the National Marine
Electronics Association 0183 V3.0 (NMEA-
0183) standard. As such it supports the
following sentences: GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV,
RMC, and VTG.
This handset is not a full NMEA-0183
compliant device supporting electrical RS-422/
RS-232 connectivity as dictated by the NMEA0183 standard. Consequently it's unsuitable
for conventional marine NMEA-0183
equipment use. Its intended use is for normal
"terrestrial" mobile users who want to enable
their USB hosting computing devices such as
a PC, laptop or PDA with the phone's highlycapable GPS functionality.
