antenna and lifting it out.  
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.

be in your local calling area. This activates your  
service.  
Powering On and Off  
The first time you power your phone on, a screen  
may appear asking you to update your browser  
information. This means you must enable security.  
Battery Use and Maintenance  
The Motorola iDEN Approved Lithium Ion

performance. Do not store the battery where  
temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C) or fall below  
-4°F (-20°C).

A memory card reader connects to your  
computer’s USB port and lets you access the  
memory card from your computer. This lets you  
save files from your computer to your memory card  
or save files from your memory card to your  
computer.  
Using a Memory Card  
Your i580 phone comes with a memory card,  
memory card adapter, and memory card reader.  
A memory card is a removable flash memory card  
that you can use to store pictures, videos, and  
audio files. The memory card can be inserted in  
your phone or connected to your computer using  
the memory card reader.  
The memory card adapter makes the memory card  
compatible with the memory card reader.  
Ensuring Files on the Memory  
Card Are Compatible With  
Your Phone  
When your memory card is connected to your  
computer, your computer lets you save files to your  
memory card in ways that may not allow you to  
access these files when the memory card is in your  
i580 phone.  
When the memory card is in your phone, many  
types of pictures, videos, and audio files stored on  
the memory card can be viewed or played using  
your phone's media center. MP3 audio files stored  
on the memory card can be played using your  
phone's audio player.  
When the memory card is in your phone, you can  
save these media items to it:  
Pictures received in InstantLINC Mobile to  
Mobile calls  
To ensure the files on your memory card are  
compatible with your i580 phone, use the folder  
structure, file name rules, and formats described in  
the following sections.  
Pictures and videos taken with your phone’s  
camera  
Pictures sent via Bluetooth

Using a Memory Card  
Folder Structure  
File Formats  
The first time you insert the memory card into your  
phone, three folders are created: Audio, Images,  
and Video. In order to access files stored on the  
memory card, you must store the given file in its  
corresponding format folder: audio files to the  
Audio folder, pictures to the Images folder, and  
videos to the Video folder.  
These types of files are compatible with the  
playback and display capabilities of your phone’s  
Media Center.  
Video Files  
Video Formats H.263  
Because your phone creates these folders the first  
time the memory card is inserted, you should insert  
the memory card into your phone at least once  
before using it with your computer.  
Audio Formats AMR-NB

The file name can contain both ASCII and  
Unicode characters.  
The file name can be up to 32 characters long,

songs when grouping and organizing them.  
Genres — Songs grouped by genre. The genres  
are listed alphabetically by name. Within each  
genre folder, the songs are listed alphabetically  
by title.  
The audio player uses meta-data found in most  
MP3 audio files to group the files on the memory  
card by album, artist, and genre. You can also  
create your own groupings of audio files, called  
playlists.  
In the Albums, Artists, and Genres folders, any  
MP3 audio files that do not contain enough  
metadata to be grouped by album, artist, or genre  
are paced in a folder labelled “Unknown”.  
Searching By First Letter  
Any time you are viewing an alphabetical list of  
audio files or folders, you can go to the items  
starting with any letter by using your phone’s  
keypad to enter that letter.

albums are listed alphabetically by title. The  
songs on the albums are listed in the order that  
they normally appear on the album.

Bluetooth®  
Understanding Bluetooth®  
Access Settings  
A Bluetooth device can have either Automatic or  
Ask security access. The first time a Bluetooth  
device connects to your i580 phone, you must  
grant the device permission to connect. You can  
then change the access setting of the device to  
either Automatic or Ask.  
Bluetooth®  
Your i580 phone is a Bluetooth device. Bluetooth  
devices create seamless voice and data  
connections with other Bluetooth devices, such as  
another Bluetooth phone, a Bluetooth pen,  
headset, or desktop adapter. These connections  
are made wirelessly.  
You can use your i580 phone to send information  
such as Contacts entries, Datebook events, and  
pictures to another Bluetooth device.  
If you set a device to Automatic, then that device  
can connect automatically to your phone when it is  
in range. If you set a device to Ask, then that  
device must request permission before it can  
connect to your phone.  
Devices must be within 32 feet (10 meters) of your  
phone to be recognized.  
Note: This measurement represents optimal  
conditions. Actual conditions may require  
you to position your phone closer.  
Devices are automatically granted permission  
during the 10 seconds after bonding. For more  
information about bonding, see “Bluetooth® Bonds”  
on page 147.  
You can only connect your phone to one device at  
a time.  
The default for hands free devices, such as  
Bluetooth headsets, is Automatic.

Making a Bluetooth® Connection  
Discoverable mode lasts for the duration selected  
under Find Me Duration in the Bluetooth Setup  
menu. During this time, other devices that are  
within range can detect your phone. You can then  
choose to grant or deny each device’s request to  
bond.  
Bluetooth® Bonds  
A bond is an encryption key that is generated when  
two Bluetooth devices exchange a common PIN.  
This key verifies the identity of each device, and  
encrypts any data transferred between the devices.  
Once the PIN is exchanged, the devices do not  
have to be in discoverable mode in order to  
exchange information. You only need to create a  
bond once between two devices.  
Note: You must grant the device’s request in  
order to receive information from the  
device on your phone.  
To start discoverable mode, from the main  
menu, select Bluetooth > Find Me.  
Discovering Bluetooth® Devices  
If you search for devices and you select a device  
that you are currently bonded with from the list of  
found devices, then the current bond with that  
device will be voided. You will have to re-establish  
the bond.  
To have your phone search for Bluetooth devices:  
From the main menu, select Bluetooth > Hands  
Free > [Find Devices].  
Your i580 requires that you create a bond in order  
to connect with another device. However, you can  
choose to establish bonds with devices without  
connecting.  
A list of hands free devices displays. Devices  
that do not have a name are listed by their  
Bluetooth address.  
Note: Devices are automatically granted  
permission during the 10 seconds after  
bonding.  
To stop the search and go to the list of found  
devices, press A under Stop.  
To stop the search and return to the previous  
screen, press A under Cancel.

these requests are granted.  
GPS Enabled  
Your phone’s GPS Enabled feature uses  
information from Global Positioning System (GPS)  
satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the  
approximate geographical location of your phone,  
expressed as latitude and longitude. The  
availability and accuracy of this location  
IMPORTANT: Things to Keep  
in Mind  
If you are using the GPS feature of your phone  
while driving, please give full attention to driving  
and to the road.  
information (and the amount of time that it takes to  
calculate it) will vary depending on the environment  
in which you are using the GPS feature. For  
example, GPS location fixes are often difficult to  
obtain indoors, in covered locations, between high  
buildings, or in other situations where you have not  
established a clear broad view of the sky. Also,  
nearby radio and electronic equipment may block  
or interfere with reception from these distant  
satellites. SEE: “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in  
Mind”.  
Where adequate signals from multiple satellites  
are not available (usually because your GPS  
antenna cannot establish a view of a wide area of  
open sky), the GPS feature of your phone WILL  
NOT WORK. Such situations include but are  
not limited to:  
When you make a 911 emergency call, the GPS  
feature of your phone can help emergency  
personnel locate you if your phone has adequate  
access to GPS satellite signals and your  
emergency response center is equipped to process  
such information.  
In underground locations  
Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered  
vehicles  
Under any other metal or concrete roof or  
structure  
You can also use the GPS feature to view your  
approximate location. Location information  
appears on the phone’s display.  
Between tall buildings or under dense  
tree-cover  
Near a powerful radio or television tower  
152  
         
IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind  
Some radios, entertainment equipment and  
other electronic devices may generate  
signals that can block or interfere with the  
GPS receiver ability to receive the distant  
satellite signals, particularly when such  
devices are operating in close proximity to  
the GPS receiver. Therefore, in a 911 call, or  
when otherwise using the GPS location  
function, always move your phone away  
from any such devices.  
Even where adequate signals from multiple  
satellites are available, your GPS feature will  
only provide an approximate location, often  
within 150 feet (45 meters) but sometimes  
much further from your actual location. Advice  
on how to improve GPS performance is  
provided in “Enhancing GPS Performance” on  
page 156.  
While the GPS feature of your phone can be a  
valuable navigational aid, it does not replace the  
need for careful navigating and good judgment.  
Never rely solely on one device for navigation.  
Remember that the accuracy of the location  
information and the time needed to obtain it will  
vary depending on circumstances, particularly the  
ability to receive signals from adequate numbers of  
satellites.  
When your GPS antenna is covered (for  
example, by your hand or other object) or  
facing the ground  
In temperature extremes outside the  
operating limits of your phone  
Walking or driving very slowly may also  
substantially reduce GPS performance.  
On emergency calls, your phone uses assistance  
information from the phone network to improve the  
speed and accuracy of your phone’s location  
calculation: if such assistance information  
becomes unavailable, it may reduce the speed and  
accuracy of the location calculation.  
Even where location information can be  
calculated in such situations, it may take much  
longer to do so, and your location estimate may  
not be as accurate. Therefore, in any 911 call,  
always report the location to the emergency  
response center if you can and if you cannot,  
remain on your phone for as long as the  
emergency response center instructs you.  
153  
GPS Enabled  
The satellites used by the GPS feature of your  
phone are controlled by the U.S. government and  
are subject to changes implemented in accordance  
with the Department of Defense GPS user policy  
and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. These  
changes may affect the performance of the GPS  
feature of your phone.  
In some cases, your local 911 emergency  
response center may not be equipped to  
receive GPS location information. For this  
reason, and because the GPS location information  
reported is only approximate or may not be  
available in your location (see “IMPORTANT:  
Things to Keep in Mind” on page 152), always  
report your location to the 911 operator you  
speak to when making an emergency call, if able,  
just as you would when using a phone without GPS  
capabilities.  
Making an Emergency Call  
Dial 911 to be connected to an emergency  
response center. If you are on an active call, you  
must end it before calling 911.  
Note: If you are concerned about whether your  
local 911 emergency response center is  
equipped to receive GPS location  
When you make an emergency 911 call, the GPS  
feature of your phone begins to seek information to  
calculate your approximate location. It will take  
the GPS feature of your phone some time to  
determine your approximate location. Even  
where your phone has good access to sufficient  
GPS satellite signals and network assist data, it  
may take 30 seconds or more to determine the  
approximate location. This time will increase where  
there is reduced access to satellite signals. When  
your approximate location is determined, it is made  
available to the appropriate emergency response  
center.  
information, contact your local authorities.  
In general, if your phone has access to signals  
from more GPS satellites, your location will be  
determined faster and more accurately than if your  
phone has access to signals from fewer GPS  
satellites.  
If your phone does not have adequate access to  
GPS satellites signals, the location of the nearest  
cell tower in contact with your phone is  
automatically made available to the emergency  
response center, if the center has the capability to  
receive such information.  
154  
     
Viewing Your Approximate Location  
See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 156  
for information on how to help your phone  
determine your location.  
It may take your phone several minutes to  
complete the process of determining your location.  
During this time, a message usually appears on  
your phone’s display saying your phone is  
scanning for satellites. For tips on getting the best  
location calculation, see “Enhancing GPS  
Performance” on page 156.  
Viewing Your Approximate

GPS Enabled  
Hold your phone to enhance reception. Signals  
from GPS satellites are transmitted to your GPS  
antenna, which is in your phone antenna. Hold  
your phone away from your body, giving the  
antenna clear access to satellite signals. Do not  
cover the antenna area with your fingers or  
anything else.  
Enhancing GPS Performance  
Sometimes the GPS feature of your phone may be  
unable to complete a location calculation  
successfully. If this happens when you are making  
an emergency call, the location of the nearest cell  
tower in contact with your phone is made available  
to the appropriate emergency response center if  
the center has the capability to receive such  
information. If this happens when you are trying to  
view your location on the phone’s display, you will  
see a message indicating that your phone cannot  
access satellites.  
GPS antenna  
To improve accuracy and increase your chances of  
a successful calculation, do the following while  
your phone is determining your approximate  
location:  
Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best  
where there is nothing between your phone and  
a large amount of open sky. If possible, go  
outside, away from tall buildings and foliage.  
While performance in a building is improved by  
moving closer to windows, glass with certain sun  
shielding films may block satellite signals.  
Extend your phone antenna.  
156  
   
Setting Privacy Options  
Move away from electronic devices. Radios,  
entertainment devices, and other electronic  
devices may generate interfering signals that  
may prevent GPS receiver operation if they are  
in close proximity to the phone. Move your  
phone away from such devices when using the  
GPS-Enabled feature.  
Setting Privacy Options  
Your phone’s GPS privacy options control whether  
Java applications on your phone or other software  
applications may view the location of your  
phone.You may set your phone to one of these  
GPS privacy options.  
Stand still. If possible, stand still until your phone  
is finished determining your location. Moving  
your phone at a walking pace while your phone  
is calculating your approximate location may  
substantially decrease GPS performance.  
Note: Privacy options do not apply to the  
transmission of location information  
during emergency 911 calls.  
To set your GPS privacy options:  
1 From the main menu, select GPS > Privacy.

Your Motorola radio product is designed to comply  
with the following national and international  
standards and guidelines regarding exposure of  
human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic  
energy (EME):  
184  
         
Portable Radio Product Operation and EME Exposure  
To assure optimal radio product performance  
and make sure human exposure to radio  
frequency electromagnetic energy is within the  
guidelines set forth in the above standards,  
always adhere to the following procedures:  
When using your radio product as a  
traditional two-way radio, hold the  
radio product in a vertical position  
with the microphone one to two  
inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the  
lips.  
Phone Operation  
Body-worn operation  
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your  
radio product as you would a wireline telephone.  
Speak directly into the microphone.  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure  
guidelines, if you wear a radio product on your  
body when transmitting, always place the radio  
product in a Motorola approved clip, holder,  
holster, case or body harness for this product.  
Use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may  
exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do  
not use a Motorola approved body-worn  
accessory and are not using the radio product  
in the intended use positions along side the  
head in the phone mode or in front of the face  
in the two-way radio mode, then ensure the  
antenna and the radio product are kept the  
following minimum distances from the body  
when transmitting  
Two-way radio operation  
Your radio product has been designed and tested  
to comply with national and international standards  
and guidelines regarding human exposure to RF  
electromagnetic energy, when operated in the  
two-way mode (at the face, or at the abdomen  
when using an audio accessory) at usage factors  
of up to 50% talk/50% listen.  
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50%  
of the time. To transmit (talk), push the  
Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls,  
release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the  
time or less, is important because this radio  
generates measurable RF energy only when  
transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards  
compliance).

body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest  
SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the  
ear is 1.02 W/kg and when tested on the body, as  
described in this user guide, is 1.30 W/kg during packet  
data transmission. (Body-worn measurements differ  
among phone models, depending upon available  
accessories and FCC requirements.)2  
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It  
is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission  
limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by  
the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.  
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive  
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for  
the general population. The guidelines are based on  
standards that were developed by independent scientific  
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of  
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial  
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,  
regardless of age and health.  
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of  
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the  
government requirement for safe exposure.  
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this  
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in  
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR  
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC  
and can be found under the Display Grant section of  
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID  
AZ489FT5848.  
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones  
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific  
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is  
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)  
can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry  
Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.

1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard  
operating positions reviewed by the FCC with the phone  
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested  
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the  
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the  
phone while operating can be well below the maximum  
value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at  
multiple power levels so as to use only the power required  
to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a  
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.  
1 In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for  
mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)  
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard  
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give  
additional protection for the public and to account for any  
variations in measurements.  
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it  
must be tested and certified to the FCC that is does not  
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted  
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in  
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the

Medical Devices  
Pacemakers  
Electromagnetic  
The Advanced Medical Technology Association  
(AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum  
separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained  
between a handheld wireless radio product and a  
pacemaker. These recommendations are  
consistent with those of the U.S. Food and Drug  
Administration.  
Interference/Compatibility  
Note: Nearly every electronic device is  
susceptible to electromagnetic  
interference (EMI) if inadequately  
shielded, designed or otherwise  
configured for electromagnetic  
compatibility.  
Persons with pacemakers should:  
ALWAYS keep the radio product more than 6  
inches (15 cm) from their pacemaker when the  
radio product is turned ON.  
187  
       
Safety and General Information  
Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket.

atmospheres referred to above include  
fueling areas such as below decks on  
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or  
storage facilities, areas where the air  
contains chemicals or particles, such  
as grain, dust or metal powders, and  
any other area where you would  
normally be advised to turn off your  
vehicle engine. Areas with potentially  
explosive atmospheres are often but  
not always posted.  
Operational Cautions  
!
Batteries  
All batteries can cause property damage and/or  
bodily injury, such as burns if a conductive material  
such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches  
exposed terminals. The conductive material may  
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and  
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any  
charged battery, particularly when placing it inside  
a pocket, purse, or other container with metal  
objects. To reduce the risk of injury, batteries  
should not be exposed to fire, disassembled, or  
crushed.  
Blasting Caps and Areas  
To avoid possible interference with blasting  
operations, turn off your radio product when you  
are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area,  
or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey  
all signs and instructions.  
Cleaning and Drying Considerations  
Using a leather carry case may help protect the  
surfaces and help prevent liquids (e.g., rain) from  
entering into the interior of the radio product. This  
product is not water proof, and exposing the unit to  
liquids may result in permanent damage to the unit.  
For Phones With Music Players  
Listening to music at high volumes over extended  
periods of time may be harmful to a user's hearing.  
User should take precautions to minimize this risk  
by moderating volume levels. If you experience  
ringing or other hearing-related discomfort, lower  
volume or discontinue use.  
If your radio product interior gets wet, then do not  
try to accelerate drying with the use of an oven or a  
dryer as this will damage the radio product and  
void the warranty. Instead, do the following:  
1 Immediately power off the radio product.

Hearing Aid Compatibility  
Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing  
device and individual type and degree of hearing  
loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to  
interference noise, even a mobile phone with a  
higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise  
levels in the hearing device. Evaluate your  
personal needs by trying out the mobile phone with  
your hearing device.  
Hearing Aid  
Compatibility  
When some mobile phones are used with certain  
hearing devices (including hearing aids and  
cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which  
can interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing  
device.  
“M” Rating: Mobile phones rated M3 or M4 meet  
FCC requirements for hearing aid compatibility and  
are likely to generate less interference to hearing  
devices than phones that are not labeled. (M4 is  
the “better” or higher of the two ratings.)  
Some hearing devices are more “immune” than  
others to this interference noise, and mobile  
phones can also vary in the amount of interference  
noise they may generate at any given time. ANSI  
standard C63.19 was developed to provide a  
standardized means of measuring both mobile  
phone and hearing devices to determine usability  
rating categories for both.  
"T" Rating: Mobile phones rated T3 or T4 meet  
FCC requirements for compatibility with  
telecoil-type ("T Switch" or "Telephone Switch")  
hearing devices and are likely to be more usable  
with such hearing devices than unrated phones.  
(T4 is the "better" or higher of the two ratings.)  
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to  
assist hearing device users find phones that may  
be compatible with their particular hearing device.  
Not all mobile phones are rated for compatibility  
with hearing devices, but mobile phones that are  
rated should have the rating available. This rating  
may depend on the position of a retractable  
antenna.  
Hearing devices may also be measured for  
immunity to interference noise from mobile phones.  
In some cases, hearing devices can be modified or  
“hardened” to improve operation with a mobile  
phone. Your hearing device manufacturer or  
hearing health professional may help you improve  
the interaction of your mobile phone and hearing  
device. Not all hearing devices are rated for  
compatibility with mobile phones, but hearing  
devices that are rated should have the rating  
192  
   
available. Be sure to evaluate your personal needs  
by trying out this mobile phone with your specific  
hearing device, using both antenna positions if  
equipped with a retractable antenna.

Position your wireless phone within easy reach.  
Be able to access your wireless phone without  
removing your eyes from the road. If you receive  
an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if  
possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.  
Driving Safety Tips  
“Safety is your most important call!”  
Your Motorola wireless telephone gives you the  
powerful ability to communicate by voice — almost  
anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless phone  
service is available and safe conditions allow. But  
an important responsibility accompanies the  
benefits of wireless phones, one that every user  
must uphold.  
Let the person you are speaking with know you  
are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in  
heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.  
Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can  
be hazardous.  
If you receive an incoming call at an  
When driving a car, driving is your first  
responsibility. If you find it necessary to use your  
wireless phone while behind the wheel of a car,  
practice good common sense and remember the  
following tips:  
inconvenient time do not take notes or look up  
phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a “to  
do” list or going through your address book  
takes attention away from your primary  
responsibility — driving safely.  
Get to know your Motorola wireless phone and  
its features such as speed dial and redial. If  
available, these features help you to place your  
call without taking your attention off the road.  
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,  
place calls when you are not moving or before  
pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car  
will be stationary. If you need to make a call  
while moving, dial only a few numbers, check  
the road and your mirrors, then continue.  
When available, use a hands-free device. If  
possible, add an additional layer of convenience  
to your wireless phone with one of the many  
Motorola Original hands-free accessories  
available today.  
Do not engage in stressful or emotional  
conversations that may be distracting. Make  
people you are talking with aware you are  
driving and suspend conversations which have  
the potential to divert your attention away from  
the road.  
207  
   
Driving Safety Tips  
Your phone can perform many other functions  
besides allowing you to make and receive calls.  
Do not let these features distract you from  
driving. Use them only when it is safe to do so.  
Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial  
9-1-1 or other local emergency number in the  
case of fire, traffic accident or medical  
emergencies.  
Use your wireless phone to help others in  
emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime  
in progress or other serious emergency where  
lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local  
emergency number, as you would want others to  
do for you.  
Call roadside assistance or a special  
non-emergency wireless assistance number  
when necessary. If you see a broken-down  
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken  
traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no  
one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be  
stolen, call roadside assistance or other special  
non-emergency wireless number.
