Setting up service on your new phone is quick and easy. This
section walks you through the necessary steps to unlock your
phone, set up your voicemail, establish passwords, and
contact Sprint for assistance with your phone service.
3 Section 1A: Setting Up Service
Getting Started
Determining If Your Phone Is Already Activated
If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably
activated, unlocked, and ready to use. If you received your
phone in the mail, it probably has been activated; all you
need to do is unlock it.
If your phone is not activated, please call Sprint Customer
Service at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).
Unlocking Your Phone
To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:
1. Press and hold e to turn the phone on.
2. Press Unlock (right softkey).
3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes,
the code is not visible as you type.)
When you power up your phone for the first time, it performs
a series of security checks. For example, it verifies the phone
is Sprint-approved, and the correct SIM Card is installed. If you
don’t pass the security checks, follow the instructions on the
Note: To select a softkey, press the softkey button directly below the
softkey text that appears at the bottom left and bottom right
of your phone’s display screen. Softkey actions change
according to the screen you’re viewing and do not appear if
there is no corresponding action available.
Tip: If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits
of either your Social Security number or phone number or try
0000 or NATL (6285). If none of these work, call Sprint
Customer Service at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

display screen to clear them. If you still encounter security
messages, call Sprint Customer Service.
By default, your phone only requests a lock code before you
can start dialing. However, you can change your security
settings to limit or facilitate use of your phone. See “Setting
Your Phone’s Security” on page 91 for more options.
5 Section 1A: Setting Up Service
Setting Up Your Voicemail
Unanswered phone calls are automatically transferred to
your voicemail, even if your phone is in use or turned off.
Therefore, you may want to set up your voicemail and
personal greeting as soon as your phone is activated.
To set up your voicemail:
1. From standby mode, press and hold 1.
2. Follow the system prompts to:
ⅢCreate your passcode.
ⅢRecord your name announcement.
ⅢRecord your greeting.
ⅢChoose whether or not to activate One-Touch.
Message Access (a feature that lets you access
messages simply by pressing and holding 1,
bypassing the need for you to enter your passcode).
For more information about using your voicemail, see “Using
Voicemail” on page 149.
Important: Walkie-Talkie, Group Walkie-Talkie, Talkgroup and Direct
Talk calls are not forwarded to voicemail. Only incoming
standard wireless phone calls are forwarded.
Note: Voicemail Passcode
If you are concerned about unauthorized access to your
voicemail account, Sprint recommends that you enable your
voicemail passcode.

Account Passwords
As a Sprint customer, you enjoy unlimited access to your
personal account information, your voicemail account, and
your data services account. To ensure that no one else has
access to your information, you need to create passwords to
protect your privacy.
Account Password
If you are the account owner, you'll have an account password
to sign on to www.sprint.com and to use when calling Sprint
Customer Service. Your default account password is the last
four digits of your Social Security number. If you are not the
account owner (if someone else receives the invoice for your
Sprint service), you can get a sub-account password at
www.sprint.com.
Voicemail Password
You'll create your voicemail password (or passcode) when you
set up your voicemail. See “Setting Up Your Voicemail” on
page 149 for more information on your voicemail password.
Data Services Password
With your ic502 by Motorola®, you may elect to set up a data
services password. This optional password may be used to
authorize purchase of Premium Services content and to
protect personal information on multi-phone accounts.
For more information, or to change your passwords, sign on
to www.sprint.com or call Sprint Customer Service at
1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
Sprint-approved and Motorola-approved batteries and
accessories can be found at Sprint Stores, through Motorola,
or by calling 1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also available
at www.sprint.com – click the Wireless link under Personal, and
then click Accessories under Shop the Sprint PCS Store Online.
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.
The battery provides up to 170 minutes of continuous talk
time.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon
blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk
time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers
down.
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 overheats, catches fire,
or explodes, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or
property damage.
Note: Long light settings, searching for service, vibrate mode,
browser use, and other variables may affect the battery’s talk
times.
Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and
charge the battery before it runs out of power.
You can purchase a larger battery with a longer battery life,
if needed.

You can make -
ⅷCode calls – two-way radio calls conducted off the network
and using open channels and codes.
ⅷPrivate calls – two-way radio calls conducted off the
network and using the wireless phone numbers of the
participants.
Code calls require that both parties be on the same channel
and code and have their phones set to Direct Talk. Phones
used in Direct Talk mode should be a minimum of 6 feet apart
to maximize performance and improve transmission range.
See “Code Direct Talk Calls” on page 62 for more information.
The following features are not be available while in Direct
Talk mode:
ⅷOn-network phone calls.

check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure
that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and
TTY device connects 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

ࡗUsing Data Roam Guard
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the Nationwide Sprint Network or the Nextel Walkie-Talkie
Network. Your new ic502 by Motorola works anywhere on
either 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.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 104
Roaming
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display
Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when
you’re off the Nationwide Sprint 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 Nationwide Sprint Network.
However, you may not be able to access certain features, such
as the browser or Messaging.
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network,
you will not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail
messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the
Nationwide Sprint Network, always dial numbers using 11
digits (1 + area code + number).
Note: Unless your Sprint service plan includes roaming, you will pay
a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint
Network and enter an area where roaming is available, 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 Nationwide Sprint Network.
105 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

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.
When you return to the Nationwide Sprint Network,
voicemail notification will resume as normal.

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 on your dual- band
phone to control your roaming experience.
To set your phone’s roam mode:
1. Press O > Settings > Roaming > Set Mode.
2. To select an option, highlight it and press O.
ⅢSprint Only allows you to access the Nationwide
Sprint Network only and prevents roaming on other
networks.
ⅢAutomatic seeks Sprint service. When Sprint service
is unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate
system.
ⅢRoaming 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.
107 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Using Call Guard
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network: the on screen
roaming icon and 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 Nationwide Sprint Network.)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
1. Press O > Settings > Roaming > Call Guard.
2. Highlight On or Off and press O.
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 O.
2. Select Roam Call (1).
To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:
1. Press O. (A message is displayed, notifying you that
roaming charges apply.)
2. Select Answer (1).

Roaming
Using Data Roam Guard
Data Roam Guard makes it easy to manage roaming charges
incurred when accessing the Web through Sprint data
services. Whenever you are outside the Nationwide Sprint
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 Nationwide Sprint Network.)
To turn Data Roam Guard on or off:

You’ll find the Call History feature very helpful. It is a list of
the last 20 numbers (or Contacts entries) for phone calls you
have made, received or missed.
Call History also tracks Walkie-Talkie, Group Walkie-Talkie,
Talkgroup, and Call Alerts.
Call History makes returning phone and Walkie-Talkie calls,
and responding to Call Alerts fast and easy. Call History lists
are continually updated as new numbers are added to the
beginning of the list and the oldest entries are removed from
the bottom of the list.
Your phone tracks and displays the call histories of phone
calls, Walkie-Talkie calls, and Call Alerts differently.
Viewing the Call History of Phone Calls
Each entry contains the phone number (if it is available) and

Now that you know the basics that make it easier to stay in
touch with people and information, you’re ready to explore your
phone’s more advanced features. This section explains how to
use your phone’s Contacts and helps you make the most of
your time when you are trying to connect with the important
people in your life.
Section 2F: Using Contacts 120
Contacts
About Contacts
Your phone can store up to 900 phone numbers. Individual
Contacts entries can contain up to eight separate numbers,
allowing you to save someone's wireless, home, and work
phone numbers as well as their fax and Walkie-Talkie
numbers in one entry.
The total number capacity is 900, meaning that if each
Contacts entry has only one number, you have space for 900
Contacts entries.
Each number you add to an individual entry reduces the
number remaining for available entries. For example, if you
create 100 entries, each with three numbers for a total of 300
numbers, you only have space remaining for 600 entries with
one number each. You will have even fewer entries if you
assign more than one number to an entry.
Each Contacts entry may contain:
ⅷA name — A name is required if you are storing more than
one number or address to the entry; otherwise, it is
optional. Typically, this is the name of the person whose
contact information is stored in the entry.
ⅷA ringer — You can assign a ringer to each entry. This is
the sound your phone makes when you receive a call or
Call Alert from any of the numbers stored in the entry.
ⅷA number or address — Each Contacts entry must contain
a number or an address. This may be a phone number,
Walkie-Talkie number, Group Walkie-Talkie number,
Talkgroup number, or email address.
Note: You can store numbers up to 64 digits long, but every 20
digits must be separated by a pause. See “Dialing and Saving
Phone Numbers With Pauses” on page 45.
121 Section 2F: Using Contacts
ⅷA speed dial number — When you store a phone number,
it is assigned a speed dial number. You can accept the
default speed dial number or change it.
Important: Entries for Group Walkie-Talkie and Talkgroups contain
different information. See “Contacts Entries for Walkie-
Talkie Groups and Talkgroups” on page 127.

Section 4A: Important Safety Information 188
Important Safety Information
Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile
Phones
Some Motorola phones are measured for compatibility with hearing aids. If
the box for your particular model has “Rated for Hearing Aids” printed on
it, the following explanation applies.
When some mobile phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing
aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or
whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference
they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their
mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may
be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.
Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s
hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be
vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone
successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way
to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely
to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not
labeled. 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.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of
interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health A-18
Hearing Aid Compatibility professional may help you find results for your
hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are
to experience interference noise from mobile phones.
Battery Tips
Battery life depends on the network, signal strength, temperature,
features, and accessories you use.
189 Section 4A: Important Safety Information
ⅷAlways use Motorola Original batteries and chargers. The
warranty does not cover damage caused by non-
Motorola batteries and/or chargers.
ⅷNew batteries or batteries stored for a long time may
take more time to charge.
ⅷWhen charging your battery, keep it near room temperature.
ⅷWhen storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place.
ⅷNever expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above
45°C (113°F). Always take your phone with you when you leave your
vehicle.
ⅷIt is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and require longer
charging times. If you notice a change in your battery life, it is probably
time to purchase a new battery.
Contact your local recycling center for proper battery disposal.
Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may
explode.
Before using your phone, read the battery safety information in the “Safety
and General Information” section included in this guide.
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 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
032375o
Section 4A: Important Safety Information 190
Important Safety Information
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 1.24 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in
this user guide, is 1.14 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 meet the governmental requirements for
safe exposure. 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.

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.
2. The SAR information includes the Motorola testing protocol,
assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this
product.

Information from the World Health
Organization
WHO Information 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.

Smart Practices While Driving
Drive Safe, Call SmartSM
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.
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:
ⅷGet 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.
ⅷWhen 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.
ⅷPosition 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.
ⅷLet 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.
ⅷDo 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.
ⅷDial 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.
ⅷDo 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.
ⅷUse your mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or other local
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical
emergencies.*
195 Section 4A: Important Safety Information
ⅷUse 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.*
ⅷCall 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.*
