power when you are in an area where there is no
signal.
WARNING Use only Sprint-approved or Motorola-
approved batteries and chargers with your
phone. The failure to use a Sprint-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.
Phone Basics
Section 2A. Phone Basics 15
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, the battery
icon blinks. When there are just a few minutes of talk
time left, the phone sounds an alert and then powers
down.
Battery Use and Battery Safety
Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded
batteries and chargers. The warranty does not cover
damage caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or
chargers.
Battery usage by children should be supervised.
Important: 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:
Remove the battery and inspect it to confirm that
it bears a Motorola “Original Equipment”
hologram;
If there is no hologram, the battery is not a
qualified battery;
If there is a hologram, replace the battery and
retry charging it;
If the message remains, contact a Motorola
Authorized Service Center.
New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may
take more time to charge.
Charging precautions: When charging your battery,
keep it near room temperature. Never expose
Note Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate
mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce
the batterys talk and standby times.
Tip Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and
charge the battery before it runs out of power.
Caution 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.
16 Section 2A. Phone Basics
batteries to temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above
45°C (113°F) when charging. Always take your
mobile device with you when you leave your vehicle.
When storing your battery, keep it in a cool, dry
place.
It is normal over time for battery life to decrease, and
for the battery to exhibit shorter runtime between
charges or require more frequent or longer charging
times.
Avoid damage to battery and mobile device. Do not
disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture,
shred, or submerge the battery or mobile device.
Avoid dropping the battery or mobile device,
especially on a hard surface. If your battery or mobile
device has been subjected to such damage, take
it to a Motorola 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.
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.
Promptly dispose of used batteries in
accordance with local regulations. Contact
your local recycling center for proper battery
disposal.
Installing the Battery
1. Make sure the phone is powered off.

Charging the Battery
Your phones Li-Ion battery is rechargeable and should
be charged as soon as possible so you can begin

your battery level becomes too low, your phone
automatically turns off, and you will lose all the
information you were just working on. For a quick
check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the
battery charge indicator located in the upper-left corner
of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge is
getting too low, the battery icon blinks and the phone
sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Sprint-approved or Motorola-approved
desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power
adapter to charge your battery.
Using the Phone Charger
1. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet.
2. Pull open the cover of the connector located on
the side of your phone.
3. Plug the other end of the charger into the

TTY Use With Sprint Service
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a
telecommunications device that allows people who are
deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language
disabilities, to communicate by telephone.
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices.
Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device
to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission.
Your phone and TTY device will connect via a special
cable that plugs into your phone's headset jack. If this
cable was not provided with your TTY device, contact
your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the
connector cable.
When establishing your Sprint service, please call
Sprint Customer Service via the state
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first
dialing 771N. Then provide the state TRS with this
number: 866-727-4889.
To turn TTY Mode on or off:

WARNING 911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends that TTY users make
emergency calls by other means, including
Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS),
analog cellular, and landline communications.
Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted
when received by public safety answering
points (PSAPs), rendering some
communications unintelligible. The problem
encountered appears related to TTY
equipment or software used by PSAPs. This
matter has been brought to the attention of
the FCC, and the wireless industry and the
PSAP community are currently working to
resolve this.

Understanding Roaming (page 50)
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode (page 51)
Alerting Yourself to Roaming (page 52)
Using Data Roam Guard (page 53)
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the Sprint National Network. Your new VE20 by Motorola
works anywhere on the Sprint National Network and
allows you to roam on other networks where we’ve
implemented roaming agreements with other carriers.
This section explains how roaming works as well as
special features that let you manage your roaming
experience.
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display
Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know
when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Any time
you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon
().
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call
quality and security will be similar to the quality you
receive when making calls on the Sprint National
Network. However, you may not be able to access
certain features, such as the browser or Messaging.
Tip Remember, when you are using your phone off the
Sprint National Network, always dial numbers using
11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note Unless your service plan includes roaming, you will
pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming
Section 2D. Roaming 51
Checking for Voicemail Messages While
Roaming
When you are roaming off the Sprint National Network,
you may not receive on-phone notification of new
voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages,
but you will need to periodically check your voicemail
for new messages if you are in a roaming service area
for an extended period of time.
1. Dial 1 + area code + your phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press *.
3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the
voice prompts.
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Your phone allows you to control your roaming
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you
can determine which signals your phone accepts.
Set Mode
Choose from three different settings to control your
roaming experience.
To set your phone’s roam mode:
1. Press S > Settings/Tools > Settings > More> Roaming
> Set Mode.
2. To select an option, highlight it and press S.
Sprint Only allows you to access the Nationwide
Sprint PCS Network only and prevents roaming
on other networks.
Automatic seeks Sprint service. When Sprint
service is unavailable, the phone searches for an
alternate system.
Roaming Only forces the phone to seek a roaming
system. The previous setting (Sprint Only or
Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is
turned on.
Note If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint National
Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped
in an area where you think Sprint service is available,
turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the
network.
52 Section 2D. Roaming
Alerting Yourself to Roaming
Your phone has three ways of alerting you when you
are roaming off the Sprint National Network: the on
screen roaming icon, a special ringer you can set for
calls you receive when roaming, and Call Guard.
Using the Roam Ringer
The Roam Ringer feature allows you to set your phone
to use of a distinct ringer when you receive calls while
roaming off the Sprint National Network.
1. Press S > Settings > Sounds > Ringer Type > Roam
Ringer.
2. Select an option and press S.
Distinct to assign a distinct ringer for incoming
roaming calls.
Normal to use the default ringer for all incoming
calls.
Using Call Guard
Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming
charges by requiring an extra step before you can
place or answer a roaming call. (This additional step is
not required when you make or receive calls while on
the Sprint National Network.)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
1. Press S > Settings/Tools > Settings > More> Roaming
> Call Guard.
2. Select On or Off and press S.
If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to take
extra steps to make and receive roaming calls.
To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:
1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the
seven-digit number and press N. (A message is
displayed, informing you that you're making a
roam call.)
Note Speed dialing is not available when you are roaming
with Call Guard enabled.
Roaming
Section 2D. Roaming 53
2. Press Yes (left softkey) to place the call.
To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:
1. Press N. (A message is displayed, notifying you
that roaming charges apply.)
2. Press Yes (left softkey) to answer the call.
Using Data Roam Guard
Data Roam Guard makes it easy to manage roaming
charges incurred when accessing the Web through
data services. Whenever you are outside the Sprint
National Network, Data Roam Guard alerts you to this
and asks you whether you want to continue using the
Web. (This additional step is not required when you
connect to the Web while on the network.)
To turn Data Roam Guard on or off:
1. Press S > Settings/Tools > Settings > More >
Roaming > Data Roam Guard.
Select Always Ask or Never Ask and press S.

Waiting for Pairing
After a connection is established with a device, no
other device can connect to your phone until the
currently connected device is disconnected.
When the connection is made, a Bluetooth message
with the name of the connected device appears on the
home screen.
Waiting for Pairing
If you are going to be using a Dial-Up Network (DUN)
profile to pair with a PC or PDA, you will need to allow
the other device to initiate pairing with your phone.
Note Due to different specifications and features of other
Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and

Profile (FTP) in your phone and the Bluetooth FTP
client software found in most Bluetooth-enabled PCs.
No external FTP client is necessary.
Before transferring files, your phone must be paired
with a PC. (For information on pairing, see “Paired
Devices” on page 109.) After pairing, you can browse
and transfer folders and files between your PC and
your phone’s internal memory or the microSD card
inserted in your phone.
The types of files you can transfer in this way are stored
in the following locations:
In the phone’s memory:
For music, the audio folder.
For pictures, the incamera folder.
For video, the incamcorder folder.
On the microSD card:
For music, the Music folder or Media folder.
For pictures, the DCIM folder.
For video, the DCIM folder.

Section 2K. Bluetooth 111
Bluetooth Profiles
All of the Bluetooth settings you configure are stored in
your phone’s Bluetooth user profile. Different profiles
can be used for specific Bluetooth functions.
File Transfer Profile (FTP) — This profile functions as a
wireless data cable allowing the browsing and
transfer of files using the Bluetooth client software
available on most Bluetooth-enables PCs. Files such
as music, pictures, and videos can be transferred
between the PC and the phone’s internal memory or
the microSD card inserted in the phone
Headset Profile — This profile functions as a wireless
ear jack. When an incoming call is received, the
ringer can be heard through the headset instead of
through the handset. The call can then be received
by pushing a button. While using the handset, you
can use the headset instead of the phone by
pushing a button on the headset, the same as
inserting a jack into the phone. Increase or decrease
the volume by using the volume key on the side of
the handset.
Hands-Free Profile — This profile functions as a wireless
car kit. Incoming calls ring to the hands-free headset
or device. Calls can be received by pressing a button
on the headset or device. For dialing, four functions
are supported: recent call dial, voice dial, speed dial,
and number dial. Increase or decrease the volume
by using the volume key on the side of the handset.
Dial-Up Network Profile (DUN) — This profile functions as
a wireless data cable, connecting a PC or PDA to a
network through your handset.
Object Push Profile (OPP) — This profile functions as a
mechanism to allow for the transfer of contact
information. Contacts and your business card can be
transferred to other Bluetooth devices using this
profile. In addition, this profile allows the phone to
accept and receive contact and business card
information from other Bluetooth devices.
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) — This profile
functions as a wireless stereo connection to stereo
Bluetooth headsets.
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) — This profile
functions as a wireless remote control. In
combination with A2DP, an AVRCP enabled stereo
headset can be used to play, pause, stop, fast
forward, or rewind music. Skipping to the next or
previous track is also supported.

With your Sprint service, you are ready to start enjoying
the advantages of Sprint Power Vision. This section will
help you learn the basics of using your Power Vision
services, including managing your user name,
launching a Vision connection, and navigating the Web
with your phone.
Your User Name
When you buy your phone and sign up for service,
you’re automatically assigned a user name, which is
typically based on your name and a number, followed
by “@sprintpcs.com.” (For example, the third John
Smith to sign up for Sprint Power Vision services might
have jsmith003@sprintpcs.com as his user name.)
When you use Sprint Power Vision services, your user
name is submitted to identify you to the Sprint National
Network.
Your user name will be automatically programmed into
your phone. You don’t have to enter it.

Data Connection Status and Indicators
Your phone displays the current status of your data
connection through indicators at the top of the screen.
The following symbols are used:
Your phone is connected to the high-speed Sprint
Mobile Broadband Network (EVDO). When the
triangles are green, data is being transferred (for
example, when you are opening a Web page);
when the triangles are gray, you are connected to
the network but data is not currently being
transferred (for example, when you are viewing a
Web page that is completely open). In either state,
you can receive incoming calls.
Your phone is on and is connected to the Sprint
1xRTT data network. When the arrows are green,
data is being transferred (for example, when you are
opening a Web page) and you cannot receive calls.
When the arrows are gray, you are connected to the
network but data is not currently being transferred
(for example, when you are viewing a Web page that
is completely open), and you can receive calls.
If no indicator is displayed, your phone does not have a
current data connection. To launch a connection, see
“Launching a Sprint Power Vision Connection” on
page 127.
Navigating the Web
Navigating through menus and Web sites during a
Sprint Power Vision session is easy once you’ve
learned a few basics. Here are some tips for getting
around:
Softkeys
During a Sprint Power Vision session, the bottom line
of your phone’s display contains one or more softkeys.
These keys are shortcut controls for navigating around
the Web, and they correspond to the softkeys directly
below the phone’s display screen.
Tip Depending on which Web sites you visit, the labels
on the softkeys may change to indicate their
function.
Sprint Power Vision
Section 3B. Sprint Power Vision 129

Using Your Phone With a Hearing
Aid Device
A number of Sprint Nextel phones have been tested for
hearing aid compatibility. When some wireless phones
are used with certain hearing aids, users may detect a
noise which can interfere with the effectiveness of the
hearing aid.
Some hearing aids are more “immune” than others to
this interference noise, and phones can 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 mobile phone
and hearing aids to determine usability rating
categories for both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to
assist hearing aid users find phones that may be
compatible with their hearing aid. Not all phones have
been rated for compatibility with hearing aids. Phones
that have been rated have a label with the rating(s)
located on the box, and at
www.motorola.com/accessibility.
These ratings are not guarantees of compatibility.
Results will vary depending on the user's hearing aid
and individual type and degree of hearing loss. If a
hearing aid is particularly vulnerable to interference,
even a phone with a higher rating may still cause
unacceptable noise levels in the hearing aid. Trying out
the phone with your hearing aid is the best way to
evaluate it for your personal needs.
“M” Rating: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC
requirements for hearing aid compatibility and are
likely to generate less interference to hearing aids than
unrated phones. (M4 is the “better” or higher of the two
ratings.) On those models with an extendable antenna,
this rating is determined only with the antenna
extended.
“T” Rating: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to be more usable with a
166 Section 4A. Important Safety Information
hearing aid's telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone
Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the “better” or
higher of the two ratings.) On those models with a
telecoil mode setting, this rating is determined only with
the phone so set. For setting instructions, see “Features
for the Hearing Impaired” in the section entitled
Advanced Calling Features”. Note that not all hearing
aids have telecoils in them.
Hearing aids may also be measured for immunity to
interference from wireless phones and may have
ratings similar to wireless 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 the estimated usability:
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six
offers excellent use.
Any combined rating equal to five is considered
normal use.
Any combined rating equal to four is considered
usable.
Thus, if you use an M3 phone with a M3 hearing aid
you will have a combined rating of six for “excellent
use.” This methodology applies equally for T ratings.
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.

Specific Absorption Rate Data
This model wireless phone meets the government’s
requirements for exposure to radio waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
It is designed and manufactured not to exceed limits
for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
U.S. Government and by the Canadian regulatory
authorities. 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
Important Safety Information
Section 4A. Important Safety Information 167
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 or health.
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
and by the Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 W/kg.1
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC and by Industry
Canada 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, the lower the power
output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public
in the U.S. and Canada, it must be tested and certified
to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not
exceed the limit established by each government for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions
and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)
reported to the FCC and available for review by
Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this model
phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.71 W/kg, and
when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 1.13 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and regulatory requirements).2
While there may be differences between the SAR levels
of various phones and at various positions, they all
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.

Please note that improvements to this product model
could cause differences in the SAR value for later
products; in all cases, products are designed to be
within the guidelines.

Information From the World Health
Organization
Present scientific information does not indicate the
need for any special precautions for the use of mobile
phones. If you are concerned, you may want to limit
your own or your children’s RF exposure by limiting the
length of calls or by using hands-free devices to keep
mobile phones away from your head and body.

driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. If you
choose to use your mobile device while driving,
remember the following tips:
Get to know your Motorola mobile device 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.
When available, use a handsfree device. If possible, add
an additional layer of convenience to your mobile
device with one of the many Motorola Original™
handsfree accessories available today.
Note For information on backing up your mobile device data
before erasing it, go to www.motorola.com and then
navigate to the “downloads” section of the consumer Web
page for “Motorola Backup” or “Motorola Phone Tools.”
172 Section 4A. Important Safety Information
Position your mobile device within easy reach. Be able to
access your mobile device without removing your
eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at
an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail
answer it for you.
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.
Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or other
local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic
accident, or medical emergencies.
Use your mobile device 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.*
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.*
* Wherever wireless phone service is available.
