Locating Your SIM Card
Locating Your SIM Card
Your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is a
small piece of plastic located in the SIM card
holder in the back of your phone, underneath the
battery.
If your SIM card is not in the SIM card holder, it
may be in the box your phone came in, attached to
a piece of plastic about the size of a credit card. If
this is the case, carefully detach your SIM card
from the surrounding plastic and insert it as
described in “Inserting Your SIM Card” on page 15.
If there is no SIM card in your phone or the box,
contact your service provider.

Getting Started
Removing the Battery
1With the phone powered off, remove the battery
door.
2Remove the battery by pushing it toward the
antenna and lifting it out.
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.
•Extreme temperatures degrade battery
performance. Do not store the battery where
temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C) or fall below
4°F (-20°C).
•Lithium Ion batteries have a self discharge rate
and without use, lose about 1% of their charge
per day.
•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.

SIM Card Security
SIM Card Security
Your SIM card protects your personal information.
The SIM card stores all your Contacts information.
Since this information is stored on your SIM card,
not in your phone, you can remove the information
by removing your SIM card.
Note: Except for making emergency calls, your
phone will not function without the SIM
card.
To prevent unauthorized use of your phone, your
SIM card may be protected by a PIN that you enter
each time the phone is powered on. You can
change the PIN or turn off the requirement that it
be entered.
Entering the PIN
You may be required to enter a SIM PIN when you
first use your phone.
When you receive your phone, the SIM PIN is
0000. Change your PIN to prevent fraudulent use
of the SIM card.
Important: If you enter your PIN incorrectly 3 times,
your SIM card is blocked. To unblock
your SIM card, you must contact your
service provider. See “Unblocking the
PIN” on page 14.
1When the Enter SIM PIN Code screen appears,
enter your SIM PIN. An asterisk appears for
each character entered.
2Press A under Ok.
Changing the PIN
1From the main menu, select Settings >
Security > Change Password > SIM PIN.
2At the Enter Old SIM PIN screen, enter the
current SIM PIN.
3Press A under Ok.
4At the Enter New SIM PIN screen, enter the
new 4- to 8-digit SIM PIN.
5Press A under Ok.

Getting Started
Turning the PIN Requirement On and
Off
When the SIM PIN requirement is on, you are
prompted to enter your PIN each time you turn on
your phone.
Note: If a SIM PIN is required, your phone will
not function until the SIM PIN is entered,
except for making emergency calls.
When the PIN requirement is off, your phone can
be used without entering a PIN.
Important: When the SIM PIN requirement is off,
the personal data on your SIM card is
not protected. Anyone can use your
phone and access your personal data.
1From the main menu, select Settings >
Security > SIM PIN.
2Select On or Off.
3Enter the current SIM PIN.
4Press A under Ok.
Unblocking the PIN
If you enter your PIN incorrectly 3 times, your SIM
card is blocked. To unblock your SIM card, you
must contact your service provider to get a PIN
Unblock Code (PUK).
Important: If you unsuccessfully enter the PUK
code 10 times, your SIM card is
permanently blocked and must be
replaced. If this happens, all data is
lost. You will get a message to contact
your service provider. Except for
making emergency calls, your phone
will not function with a blocked SIM
card.
To unblock the PIN:
1Press * # m 1.
2At your service provider representative’s
request, provide the information needed to give
you a PUK code.
3Select Unblock PIN.

Getting Started
Antenna
The retractable antenna on your i850 phone is
designed to be extended during calls.
To extend the antenna, pull gently on the rounded
tip until the antenna is fully extended and clicks into
position.
When finished with a call, retract the antenna by
pushing gently on the rounded tip until the antenna
clicks into place.
To optimize your phone’s performance, extend the
antenna when you make or receive a call, and
avoid touching the antenna with any body part.
Important: Failure to fully extend or retract the
antenna until the antenna clicks into
place causes severely degraded
performance, which may result in
