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.
For best results, charge the batteries within the
temperature range of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to
40°C).
Prolonged charging is not recommended.
•

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

Getting Started
to this, all messages and all settings (including
your greeting and password) will be lost when the
number you have brought to Nextel becomes

Wireless Local Number
Portability: Bringing Your
Phone Number From Another
Carrier
Text Messaging
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 phone 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 Nextel phone letting you know that activation
is complete. Simply turn your phone off and back
on again to complete activation.
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.
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
Go to nextel.com/wlnp for more details.
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

Group ConnectSM Calls
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 nextel.com for
more details on Group Connect.
See nextel.com for more details on these Direct
Connect services. Pricing for each of these
services is based on your service contract.
1 If the flip is open, enter the Direct Connect
number you want to call. -or-
If the flip is closed, select the number as you
would when making a phone call.
2 Press and hold the PTT button on the side of
your phone. Begin talking after your phone emits
a chirping sound.
3 Release the PTT button to listen.
Note: In order to store Groups to your i836, 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 i836. Group
entries created with your i836 phone are
not readable by an older iDEN SIM-based
phone.
Tip: To let someone know you want to talk to
him or her on a Direct Connect call, send a
call alert. See “Call Alerts” on page 36.
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 practice to include the
whole Direct Connect number including the
asterisks.

Message Forwarding
Note: You can only forward messages to Nextel
customers in your home market.
This feature allows you to program your phone to

prompts the caller that the message will be
forwarded. Silent forwarding does not prompt the
caller that the message will be forwarded.

On emergency calls, your phone uses assistance
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.
Walking or driving very slowly may also
substantially reduce GPS performance.
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.
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.
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 123.
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.
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
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

GPS Enabled
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.
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.
See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 123
for information on how to help your phone
determine your location.
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 120), 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.

During this time, a message usually appears on
your phone’s display saying your phone is

location calculation, see “Enhancing GPS
Performance”.
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.
The Position screen displays the updated
information.
To cancel a location calculation before it is
completed:
Press A under Cancel to return to the Position

Press e to return to the idle screen.
Each time approximate location of your phone is
calculated, the latest location information is stored
in your phone and remains there even when your
phone is powered off. You will see this information
the next time you view the Position screen.

GPS Enabled
To improve accuracy and increase your chances of
a successful calculation, do the following while
your phone is determining your approximate
location:
•
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.
•
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.
124
Updating Satellite Almanac Data
•
•
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.
Updating Satellite Almanac
Data
Another way to keep the GPS feature of your
phone working well is to keep your satellite
almanac data up to date.
In a car. When using the GPS Enabled feature in
a car, position your phone so that the GPS
antenna has good access to GPS signals
through the car’s windows. Typically, the GPS
antenna has best access to GPS signals in a car
when placed near a window.
Note: Although moving your phone at a walking
pace decreases GPS performance,
moving it at the speed of a moving car
does not.
The United States government maintains an
almanac of data about where GPS satellites are as
they orbit the Earth. This information is available to
your phone. Keeping your satellite almanac up to
date helps your phone determine your location
more quickly.
The almanac contains information about the
location of satellites, their operational status, and
other satellite information. Keeping this information
updated enhances the performance of your GPS
feature. In most cases, your phone will be able to
get a fix in strong satellite signal conditions with
outdated almanac data, but it may take longer.
•
Stay in network coverage. Depending on your
service provider, the network will provide your
phone with information that helps determine
your location more quickly and accurately.
Note: When you make an emergency call, your
phone does not rely upon the almanac to
determine your location.
If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your
phone may prompt you to update it. Follow the
instructions that appear on the phone’s display.
You may be asked to go to a web site or call a
customer care number.

Software Compatibility
Your phone sends location information to your
laptop or other device using the standard National
Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) format.
Your phone supports output messages in
NMEA-0183 format and supports the following
NMEA-0183 sentences: GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV,
RMC, and VTG.
Using GPS with Map Software
You can use the GPS feature of your phone to
provide approximate location data to a laptop
computer or similar device that is running
interactive map software such as that made by
DeLorme or Microsoft. This way, if your phone has
good access to GPS signals, your approximate
position on a map can be made available as you
travel in a vehicle.
The map software running on your laptop or other
device must support NMEA 3.0.
To do this, connect your phone to your laptop (or
other device) with a data cable and set your phone
to transmit data (see “Getting Started” on page
128). Your phone then provides your approximate
location to the device running the map software,

plan and incur an additional access charge. Airtime
charges for Direct Connect® or Group Connect®
transmissions or Nationwide Direct Connect®
access are charged to the customer that initiates

to receive monthly service charges from Customer.
As a result, Nextel shall incur damages that are
difficult, if not impossible, to determine.
THEREFORE, IN THE CASE OF BREACH OR
EARLY TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT BY
CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER SHALL PAY TO
NEXTEL, AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND NOT
AS A PENALTY (IN ADDITION TO ALL
AMOUNTS THEN OWED TO NEXTEL), $200

notice to Customer through the “Nextel News”
section of Customer’s bill or a bill insert of any
significant increase in the FPCR fee. Please

for funding government programs or initiatives.
Early Termination Component of Rate Structure -
Nextel incurs a significant cost in activating Service
to Customer, including a large up-front cost in
offering Equipment to Customer. These costs are
partially recouped over the length of Customer’s
Agreement with Nextel through monthly service
rate charges to Customer, which have been
established in part for this purpose. If Customer
breaches this Agreement or terminates Service for
any reason (including by porting its Phone number
to another service provider), Customer
Failure to Pay - Customer acknowledges that time
is of the essence with respect to all amounts owed
to Nextel. IF CUSTOMER HAS NOT PAID ITS

INTEREST. Nextel’s acceptance of late or partial
payments (even if marked “paid in full” or similar
notations) shall not waive Nextel’s right to collect
the full amount due under this Agreement, plus any
additional amounts charged under this paragraph.
If Nextel obtains the services of a collection or
repossession agency or an attorney to assist in
remedying any breach of this Agreement by
Customer, including but not limited to, Customer’s
nonpayment of charges, Customer shall be liable
for this expense.
Customer, Nextel will notify Customer and
Customer must furnish the amount to Nextel within
a reasonable period of time; or, if authorized by
Customer, Nextel may instead charge Customer’s
credit card or debit card by any amount that was
validly assessed. If Customer fails to pay any
undisputed amount or, after a reasonable period of
time, fails to pay any amount determined by Nextel
to have been validly assessed upon Customer,
Nextel may exercise any remedies available to
Nextel under this Agreement for non-payment,
including termination of the Agreement. Customer
hereby acknowledges that he or she has read the
explanation of rates and charges set forth in this
Section 7 and understands that these rates and
charges may be assessed upon Customer, to the
extent applicable.
Disputed Charges - Customer may dispute only
those charges that Customer believes are the
result of (1) a billing error; (2) a problem related to
Customer’s Service; or (3) dropped calls. To
dispute any charge, Customer must pay all
undisputed amounts when due and submit a
written notice to Nextel within ninety (90) days of
the problem or before the end of the third billing
cycle after the date upon which the problem
occurred, whichever occurs later. CUSTOMER

CHARGES FOR WHICH TIMELY NOTICE IS NOT
PROVIDED TO NEXTEL. Nextel shall resolve all
disputed charges in its sole discretion. If Nextel
determines that an error was made on Customer’s
invoice, Nextel will credit Customer’s account in
the amount of the error. If Nextel determines that a
disputed charge was validly assessed upon

is subject to change. Some billing details may be
provided at http://www.Nextel.com and will not
appear on invoices (except for a fee). Service
charges will be invoiced to Customer in advance or
in arrears, depending on the Service Plan, and
usage charges will be invoiced in arrears.
Customer may be assessed a shipping charge for
Equipment delivered to Customer. Unless
163
Nextel® Terms and Conditions of Service
otherwise specified in Customer’s Service Plan,
any unused minutes or other allotted Services
under Customer’s Service Plan will not be carried
over to any other billing cycle. If Customer’s
Service is terminated for any reason (including if
Customer’s Number is ported) before the end of
any billing cycle, no credit or refund will be
provided for unused minutes or other allotted
Services and any monthly service charge will not
be prorated to the date of termination. On
occasion, Customer may be billed for Services in a
month other than the month in which Customer
used the Services, which may result in
higher-than-expected Services charges for the
month in which such Services are billed. The

of new billing technology, delays in the reporting of
international or other roaming charges between
carriers, and other similar events may result in
such delayed billing. Nextel may bill Customer on
behalf of third party providers of Online

duration of this Agreement unless cancelled earlier
by either Customer or Nextel upon thirty (30) days
advance written notice to the other party.
Specific Form of Payment - Nextel may, at any
time and from time to time, as it deems appropriate
(e.g., following receipt of a dishonored check or
other instrument), demand that Customer make
payment by money order, cashier’s check, or a
similarly secure form of payment. Nextel also may
require at any time in its sole discretion that the
Equipment be purchased for cash only. In this
case, title to the Equipment shall be transferred to
Customer only after receipt by Nextel of a cashier’s
or certified check or other equally secure form of
payment in the amount required by Nextel.

Agreement at any time and without providing
notice to Customer if: (1) Customer fails to pay any
charges (including, without limitation, any charges
assessed on behalf of third parties) when due
under this Agreement; (2) Customer behaves in an
abusive, derogatory, or otherwise unreasonable
manner to any Nextel employee, representative or
agent; (3) Nextel has reason to believe that
Customer’s Service is being used in a fraudulent
manner or for an illegal purpose (such as unusual
activity levels or calling patterns); (4) Customer’s
Service is being used in a way that adversely
affects other Customers’ Service or Nextel’s
business operations; (5) Customer provides Credit
Information that is false, inaccurate, dated or
cannot be verified or Customer becomes insolvent
or subject to any proceeding under the Bankruptcy

Service to Customer, and Service is not
reconnected within thirty (30) calendar days, all
amounts owed to Nextel (including any damages
for early termination) shall become immediately
due and payable.
Reactivation - Nextel may, but is not required to,
reactivate Service to Customer after Service has

applicable FCC requirements and that is designed
to help public safety authorities locate users of the
Service who make 911 calls. However, E911
service that is compatible with the FCC technical
requirements is not available in all areas, and even
in those areas where it is available, it is not entirely
reliable. Moreover, if Customer’s Equipment is not
GPS-enabled, emergency services personnel may
have much less precise location information about
the Customer, compared to the information
available to them if Customer’s Equipment was
GPS-enabled. The information available to
emergency service providers may also be limited if
Customer’s number or numbers are in the process
of being ported. Customer acknowledges that
E911 service is not available in all areas, is not
completely reliable and is further limited when
using non-GPS enabled Equipment or during the
number porting process. Customer consents to
Nextel’s disclosure of Customer information to
governmental and public safety authorities in
response to emergencies. This information may
include, but is not limited to, Customer’s name,
address, Number, and the location of the user of
the Service at the time of call.
11. RELEASE OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION -
Privacy - Wireless systems use radio channels to
transmit communications that may be accidentally
or intentionally intercepted. Although federal and
state laws may make it illegal for third parties to
listen in on Customer’s Service, privacy cannot be
guaranteed. NEXTEL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO
CUSTOMER OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR
EAVESDROPPING ON OR INTERCEPTION OF
COMMUNICATIONS MADE WHILE USING THE
SERVICE OR THE EQUIPMENT.
911 or Other Emergency Calls - The Service does
not interact with 911 and other emergency services
in the same manner as non-wireless or landline
telephone services. Depending on Customer’s
location, the type of Equipment being used, the
type of equipment being utilized by any applicable
emergency services provider, and the
circumstances and conditions of a particular call,
Customer’s phone number and/or location may not
be identifiable to emergency services providers
and Customer may not be connected to the
appropriate emergency services provider. In
certain circumstances, a 911 call may be routed to
a state patrol dispatcher. Nextel is deploying

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):
175
Safety and General Information
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 1.41 W/kg and when tested on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 1.45 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
AZ489FT5828.
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

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
