Section 1B. Phone Basics

Removing and Inserting the SIM Card

Your SIM Card

To avoid losing information stored in your SIM

card, do not remove it from your phone

unless absolutely necessary.

Important

Locating the SIM Card

Your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is a small

card inserted into the SIM card holder within your

phone behind the battery area.

To remove your SIM card:

1. With your phone powered off, remove the battery

door and battery. See “Removing the Battery” on

page 12.

If no SIM card came with your phone, contact Nextel

Customer Service at 1-800-639-6111.

Most users will never need to remove or insert the SIM

card. However, if you wish to, follow the instructions in

2. Lift the rubber flap directly above the SIM card

holder, and then with your fingernail, carefully slide

the SIM card out from under the edge.

The SIM card is designed for optimal

Contacts storage and feature use. For Nextel

SIM card compatibility information, visit

www.nextel.com/sim.

Important

In some cases, Contacts and Groups may not

be accessible if you move your SIM card to

another phone. Contacts and Groups created

with your i576 phone may not be readable by

an older iDEN SIM-based phone.

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Protect your SIM card as you would any delicate

object. Store it carefully.

Note

Use only Nextel-approved or Motorola-

approved 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.

WARNING

To insert your SIM card:

1. With your phone powered off, remove the battery

door and battery. See “Removing the Battery” on

page 12.

2. Lift the rubber flap directly above the SIM card

holder, and then carefully slide the SIM card into

your phone, until it lies flat in the SIM card holder.

Nextel-approved and Motorola -approved batteries and

accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through

Motorola. You may order online at www.nextel.com or by

calling1-866-866-7509.

Do not touch the gold-colored areas of your

SIM card.

Important

Battery Capacity

Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)

battery. It allows you to recharge your battery 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.

2. Remove the battery cover from the back of the

phone

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate

mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce

the battery’s talk and standby times.

Note

Tip

Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and

charge the battery before it runs out of power.

Installing the Battery

1. With your thumbs, press down on the battery cover

on the back of your phone and slide it up toward

the antenna to release it.

3. Insert the battery into the opening, making sure the

connectors align. Gently press down to secure the

battery.

4. Replace the battery cover and press down until

you hear a click.

Charging the Battery

Charge your battery as soon as possible so you can

begin using your phone.

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If

your battery level becomes too low, your phone

automatically turns off, and you will lose any

information you were just working on. For a quick

check of your battery level, glance at the battery charge

indicator located on your display screen.

Removing the Battery

Always use a Nextel-approved or Motorola-approved

desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power

adapter to charge your battery.

1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose

any stored numbers or messages.

2. Remove the battery cover and remove the battery

from the phone.

Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion

battery as you can be burned.

WARNING

With the approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the

battery before it becomes completely run down.

Using the Phone Charger

ᮣ

Plug the flat end of the charger into the phone’s

charger connector and the other end into an

electrical outlet.

Battery Use and Battery Safety

ⅷ Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded

batteries and chargers. The warranty does not cover

damage caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or

chargers.

Use of an unqualified battery or charger

may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage,

or other hazard. Improper battery use, or

use of a damaged battery, may result in a

fire, explosion, or other hazard.

WARNING

ⅷ Battery usage by children should be supervised.

● Your display screen lets you know the battery

is charging.

● Both the battery icon and a text message

show the charging status.

ⅷ It is normal for battery life to decrease over time, and

for the battery to exhibit shorter runtime between

charges or require more frequent or longer charging

times.

Motorola mobile devices are designed to

work best with qualified batteries. If you see a

message on your display such as Invalid

Battery or Unable to Charge, take the

following steps:

Important

ⅷ 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 Authorized Service Center before

using. Do not attempt to dry it with an appliance or

heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.

• 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.

ⅷ Use care when handling a charged battery — 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.

ⅷ New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may

take more time to charge.

ⅷ Charging precautions: When charging your battery,

keep it near room 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.

ⅷ When storing your battery, keep it in a cool, dry

place.

Promptly dispose of used batteries in

accordance with local regulations. Contact your

local recycling center for proper battery

disposal.

Deleting Items

GPS Enabled

If you delete a DRM item that you purchased from

Nextel from your phone, you will have to purchase it

again to download it.

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

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. SEE: “IMPORTANT: Things to

You cannot delete items that are DRM locked.

Note

Under certain conditions, third-party vendors will let

you download an item multiple times within a given

time frame, even if you deleted the item. Please

contact the third-party vendor of an item to learn

more about the vendor’s download regulations.

1. Go to the location on your phone that contains the

item you want.

you if your phone has adequate access to GPS satellite

signals and your emergency response center is

equipped to process such information.

ⅷ Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles.

ⅷ Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure.

ⅷ Between tall buildings or under dense tree-cover.

ⅷ Near a powerful radio or television tower.

You can also use the GPS feature to view your

approximate location. Location information appears on

the phone’s display.

ⅷ When your GPS antenna is covered (for example, by

your hand or other object) or facing the ground.

Java applications loaded on your phone can also

request your location. If your phone is connected to a

laptop computer or similar device, software running on

that device can request your location. To protect your

privacy, you can control whether these requests are

granted. See “GPS Privacy Options” on page 88.

ⅷ In temperature extremes outside the operating limits

of your phone.

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.

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.

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:

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

ⅷ In underground locations.

119

provided in “Enhancing GPS Performance” on

page 122.

Making an Emergency Call

Dial 911 and press N to be connected to an

emergency response center. If you are on an active

call, you must end it before calling 911.

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 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

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.

determined, it is made available to the appropriate

emergency response center.

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 1 1 9),

always report your location to the 911 operator you

120

speak to when making an emergency call, if able, just

as you would when using a phone without GPS

capabilities.

2. Scroll to view the entire screen.

This displays the following information about the last

time your location was calculated:

If you are concerned about whether your local 911

emergency response center is equipped to receive

GPS location information, contact your local

authorities.

Note

ⅷ The time (as Greenwich Mean Time) and date that

the location was last calculated.

ⅷ The approximate location, expressed as latitude and

longitude.

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.

ⅷ The estimated accuracy of the calculated location.

This estimate of accuracy is only a very rough

estimate and may vary substantially from the actual

accuracy of the approximate location information

reported.

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.

ⅷ The number of satellites used to calculate the

location. In general, more satellites make for better

accuracy.

To calculate your location again:

See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 122 for

information on how to help your phone determine your

location.

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 Cancel (right softkey) to return to the Position

screen or press P to return to standby mode.

To improve accuracy and increase your chances of a

successful calculation, do the following while your

phone is determining your approximate location:

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.

ⅷ 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.

If you received a phone call or alert while attempting to

determine your location, the Position screen will

disappear, but your phone will continue attempting to

determine its location. If it is successful, the new

location information will be displayed the next time you

view the Position screen.

ⅷ 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

122

ⅷ 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.

When you make an emergency call, your phone

does not rely upon the almanac to determine your

location.

Note

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 service number.

ⅷ 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.

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.

Although moving your phone at a walking pace

decreases GPS performance, moving it at the speed

of a moving car does not.

Note

ⅷ Stay in network coverage. The network will provide your

phone with information that helps determine your

location more quickly and accurately.

To do this, connect your phone to your laptop (or other

device) with a data cable and set your phone to

transmit data (see “T o connect your phone to your

laptop or other device:” on page 124). Your phone then

provides your approximate location to the device

running the map software, which displays your location

on a map. Your phone provides an updated location

changing location on its map.

2. With the phone’s display facing up, insert a

micro-USB data cable into the charger connector.

Understanding Bluetooth Access Settings

Pairing Bluetooth Devices

A Bluetooth device can have either Automatic or Ask

security access. The first time a Bluetooth device

connects to your i576 phone, you must grant the

device permission to connect. You can then change

the access setting of the device to either Automatic or

Ask.

Paired Devices

The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish

trusted connections between your phone and another

Bluetooth device. When devices are paired, a passkey

is shared between devices, allowing for fast, secure

connections while bypassing the discovery and

authentication process.

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.

To pair your phone with another Bluetooth device:

1. Press M > Bluetooth > Link to Devices. (Your phone

will display a list of discovered in-range Bluetooth

devices.)

Devices are automatically granted permission during

the ten seconds after bonding. For more information

about bonding, see “Bluetooth Bonds (Pairing)” on

page 140.

Discovering Hands-Free Bluetooth Devices

To have your phone search for Bluetooth devices:

Sharing Your Phone’s Bluetooth Address

ᮣ

Press M > Bluetooth > Hands Free > [Find Devices].

To bond with your phone, devices must have your

phone’s Bluetooth address. To find devices that you

want to bond with, you can make your phone

discoverable, so that other devices learn your phone’s

Bluetooth address. You can also have your phone

search for Bluetooth devices to learn their addresses.

A list of hands-free devices displays. Devices that

do not have a name are listed by their Bluetooth

address.

Ⅲ To stop the search and go to the list of found

devices, press Stop (left softkey).

139

Ⅲ To stop the search and return to the previous

screen, press Cancel (right softkey).

Bluetooth PINs

Bluetooth devices exchange PINs (also known as

passkeys or pass codes) in order to establish

encrypted transfers between them. When prompted,

enter the Bluetooth PINs.

Bluetooth Bonds (Pairing)

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.

Some Bluetooth devices ship with Bluetooth PINs.

Please refer to your Bluetooth device’s user guide to

locate this information.

If a device ships without a Bluetooth PIN, then you can

enter any PIN for that device. To establish a connection

to that device, enter the same PIN for both your phone

and the device. For example, if you enter 1234 as the

device’s PIN, then enter 1234 as your phone’s PIN.

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.

In some cases, you may not be required to enter the

Bluetooth PIN.

Your i576 requires that you create a bond in order to

connect with another device. However, you can choose

to establish bonds with devices without connecting.

Devices are automatically granted permission during

the ten seconds after bonding.

Following Safety Guidelines

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access

to Your Phone

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any

special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas

where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or

danger.

Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot

guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should

never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential

communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls

may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain

network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check

with your local service provider for details.

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio

frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless

phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic

equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately

shielded electronic operating systems or entertainment

systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their

representative to determine if these systems are adequately

shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the

manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to

your vehicle.

Using Your Phone While Driving

Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone

without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions.

Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety

always comes first.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices,

such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are

adequately shielded from external RF signals.

Responsible driving practices can be found in “Smart Practices

While Driving” on page 200 and/or at the Motorola Web site:

www.motorola.com/callsmart.

Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local

Sprint Store, or call Nextel at 1-866-866-7509.

Operational Precautions

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.

Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and

Note

request permission before using the phone near medical

equipment.

If you wear a radio product on your body when

transmitting, always place the radio product in

To assure optimal radio product performance and to be sure

that human exposure to RF does not exceed the guidelines set

forth in the relevant standards, always follow these instructions

and precautions:

a Motorola approved clip, holder, holster, case or body harness.

If you do not use a body-worn accessory supplied or approved

by Motorola 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, or if you hang your

device from a lanyard around your neck, keep the device at

least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body when transmitting.

Phone Operation

When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your radio

product as you would a wireline telephone. Speak directly into

the microphone.

Approved Accessories

Two-way radio operation

For a list of approved Motorola accessories call

1-800-453-0920, or visit our website at

www.motorola.com/support.

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.

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying

Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent

possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have

permission from a crew member to use your phone while the

plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC

regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the

air.

Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time.

To transmit (talk), push the 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).

190

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas

Using Your Phone With a Hearing

Aid Device

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone

off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs

indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction

crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.

A number of Nextel phones have been tested for hearing aid

device compatibility. When some wireless 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.

Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a

potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone

and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an

explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These

areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:

Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this

interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of

interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19

was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring

both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability

rating categories for both.

Ⅲ Fueling areas such as gas stations.

Ⅲ Below deck on boats.

Ⅲ Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.

Ⅲ Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such

as grain, dust, or metal powders.

Ⅲ Any other area where you would normally be advised to

turn off your vehicle’s engine.

Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist

hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with

their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for

compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been

rated have a label with the rating(s) located on the box, and are

listed at www.motorola.com/accessibility.

Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids,

or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that

Note

contains your phone or accessories.

Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone

These ratings are not guarantees. 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 phone with a higher rating may still

cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying

find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.

Should you experience interference or find the quality of

service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly

return it to the store within 30 days of purchase. With the Sprint

30-day Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return the phone within

30 days of purchase for a full refund. More information about

hearing aid compatibility may be found at:

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for

hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less

interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the

better/higher of the two ratings.)

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and

are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T

Switch”or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the

better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing

devices have telecoils in them.)

www.motorola.com/accessibility, www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov,

and www.accesswireless.org.

Getting the Best Hearing Device

Experience With Your Phone

To further minimize interference:

Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to

interference noise from wireless phones and should have

ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing health care

professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of

your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable

usability:

ⅷ

Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to

ensure the minimum time interval:

1. Press s> Settings > Display/Info > Backlight > Timer or

Java Timer.

ⅷ

Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers

excellent use.

2. Select the minimum time interval setting and press OK.

ⅷ

Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.

Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.

ⅷ

Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from

your hearing aid.

Move the phone around to find the point with least

interference.

Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will

have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.”This is

synonymous for T ratings.

Nextel further suggests you experiment with multiple phones

(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to

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 1.6W/kg.²Tests 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

If you have further questions regarding how use of your phone

may impact your privacy or data security, please contact

Motorola.

Privacy and Data Security

Motorola understands that privacy and data security are

important to everyone. Because some features of your phone

may affect your privacy or data security, please follow these

recommendations to enhance protection of your information:

Smart Practices While Driving

Drive Safe, Call Smart ^SM

ⅷ

Monitor access: Keep your phone with you and do not leave

it where others may have unmonitored access. Lock your

device’s keypad where this feature is available.

Keep software up to date: If Motorola or a software/

application vendor releases a patch or software fix for your

phone which updates the device’s security, install it as soon

as possible.

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices

and their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always

obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or

restricted in certain areas. Contact www.motorola.com/callsmart

for more information.

ⅷ

Erase before recycling: Delete personal information or data

from your phone prior to disposing of it or turning it in for

recycling. For step-by-step instructions on how to delete all

personal information from your device, please contact your

local service provider.

Understanding AGPS: In order to comply with emergency

caller location requirements of the FCC, certain Motorola

phones incorporate Assisted Global Positioning System

(AGPS) technology. AGPS technology also can be used in

non-emergency applications to track and monitor a user’s

location, for example, to provide driving directions. Users

who prefer not to permit such tracking and monitoring

should avoid using such applications.

Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data—

almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless service is

available and safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving

is your first responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile

device while driving, remember the following tips:

ⅷ

Get to know your Motorola 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.

ⅷ

When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add an

additional layer of convenience to your phone with one of the

many Motorola Original hands-free accessories available

today.

ⅷ

Position your phone within easy reach. Be able to access

your phone without removing your eyes from the road. If you

200

receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible,

let your voice mail answer it for you.

assistance or other special non-emergency wireless

number.*

ⅷ

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.

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.

Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls

when your car is not moving or before pulling into traffic. If

you must make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers,

check the road and your mirrors, then continue.

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 that can divert

your attention away from the road.

* Wherever wireless phone service is available

ⅷ

Use your phone to call for help. Dial 911 or other local

emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or

medical emergencies.*

Use your 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 911 or other local emergency

number, as you would want others to do for you.*

ⅷ

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
