Getting Started
Removing the Battery
1With your 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 14F (60°C) or fall below
F (-2C).
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.
Inserting and Removing Your SIM
Important: Do not touch the gold-colored areas of
your SIM card.
The SIM card is designed for optimal Contacts
storage and feature use. For Boost MobileTM SIM
card compatibility information, visit
www.boostmobile.com/cs_faqs_thesimcard.html.
Note: 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
i
415 phone are
not readable by an older iDEN SIM-based
phone.
If you remove your SIM card and use it with
another phone, or use another SIM card with your
phone, the following information is erased:

according to how many you have, messages are
deleted when you exit the message center after
setting the option.
If you set an option that cleans up messages
according to how old the messages are, messages
are deleted when you power on your phone.
