Battery Use and Battery Safety

䢇Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded

batteries and chargers. The warranty does not cover

damage caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or

chargers.

䢇Battery usage by children should be supervised.

WARNING 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.

14 Section 1B. Phone Basics

䢇New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may

take more time to charge.

䢇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.

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

place.

䢇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.

䢇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.

䢇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.

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.

When you make an emergency call, your phone’s GPS

Enabled feature can help emergency service

personnel find you, if you are in a location where your

phone's GPS antenna has established a clear view of

the open sky and your local emergency response

center has the equipment to process location

information. See “GPS Enabled” on page 118, and

particularly “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind” on

page 119 and “Making an Emergency Call” on

page 120, for more information on the limitations of this

feature. Because of the limitations of this feature, always

provide your best knowledge of your location to the

emergency response center when you make an

emergency call.

Important Always report your location to the 911 operator

when placing an emergency call. Some

designated emergency call takers, known as

Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) may not

be equipped to receive GPS location information

from your phone.

Emergency calls cannot be placed while the

keypad is locked.

If you have not registered on the network,

emergency calls cannot be placed while your

SIM card is in your phone.

If you are bringing your phone number to Nextel

from your previous carrier, you may receive a

temporary telephone number while your Nextel

phone is being programmed with your

permanent phone number. If you make a call to

911 and the call fails, the 911 emergency

response center will not be able to call you back

Making and Answering

Direct Talk Calls

Nextel Direct Talk allows for two-way radio

communication “off the network” between two or more

phones equipped with this capability. This feature is

very useful in areas without network coverage.

You can make:

䢇Code calls – two-way radio calls conducted off the

network and using open channels and codes. In

these calls, anyone using your same channel and

code can hear your conversation.

䢇Private calls – two-way radio calls conducted off the

network and using the wireless phone numbers of

the participants. In these calls, others using the same

channel cannot listen in.

When using Direct Talk mode, the two phones should

be a minimum of six feet apart to maximize

performance and improve transmission range. You can

only make Direct Talk calls to users located within your

range. This varies according to terrain, man-made

structures, and atmospheric conditions.

56 Section 2A. Making and Answering Calls

The following features are not available while in Direct

Talk mode:

䢇On-network phone calls.

䢇On-network Direct Connect, Group Connect,

Talkgroup calls, and Call Alerts.

䢇Data services.

䢇Sending and receiving messages.

䢇Call timer.

䢇Sending Call Alerts.

䢇Call forwarding.

the display screen. Your phone displays the last

channel and code used for Direct Talk.

To return to network mode from Direct Talk:

1. Press

M

> DT Options.

2. Select Exit Direct Talk.

After a few seconds, your phone returns to network

service.

Code Direct Talk Calls

Your phone has 10 channels and 15 codes within each

channel. Channels represent the radio frequencies on

which you make and receive Nextel Direct Talk calls.

Codes allow you to minimize interference from others

using the same channel as you.

To make Direct Talk Code calls, both parties must be

on the same channel and code and have their phones

set to Direct Talk. Be aware that others using both your

same code and channel can hear your conversation.

And, you can hear their conversations as well.

To set a channel and code:

1. In Direct Talk mode, press Edit (left softkey).

2. Select Channel.

䢇There may be no parties on your channel or code.

䢇You are out of range.

When you receive a Code call using Direct Talk, your

phone displays Receiving, along with the channel and

code selected. Answer a Direct Talk Code call just like

you would any other Direct Connect call.

Receiving a Private Direct Talk Call

The number or name of the person who initiated the

call appears on your display screen. Answer the call in

the same way you answer a regular Direct Connect

call.

A Private Direct Talk call ends a short time after the last

party releases the Direct Connect button. The display

screen returns to Direct Talk standby mode.

䢇The person that you are trying to reach is set to a

different channel, or is out of range.

Receiving All Calls on a Channel

transmissions that are within range and set to the same

channel. Do this by selecting Receive All, instead of a

code.

However, you cannot initiate a call when the code is set

to Receive All. If you press the Direct Connect button to

initiate a Direct Connect call and your code is set to

Receive All, you receive an error message.

Note You do not need to set your phone to Private Only to

GPS Enabled

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

Keep in Mind” on page 119.

When you make a 911 emergency call, the GPS feature

of your phone can help emergency personnel locate

Note You cannot delete items that are DRM locked.

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

Section 2F. Tools 119

you if your phone has adequate access to GPS satellite

signals and your emergency response center is

equipped to process such information.

You can also use the GPS feature to view your

approximate location. Location information appears on

the phone’s display.

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.

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:

䢇In underground locations.

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

䢇Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure.

䢇Between tall buildings or under dense tree-cover.

䢇Near a powerful radio or television tower.

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

your hand or other object) or facing the ground.

䢇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.

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

120 Section 2F. Tools

provided in “Enhancing GPS Performance” on

page 122.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

determined, it is made available to the appropriate

emergency response center.

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 119),

always report your location to the 911 operator you

Tools

Section 2F. Tools 121

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

as you would when using a phone without GPS

capabilities.

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.

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.

See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 122 for

information on how to help your phone determine your

location.

Viewing Your Approximate Location

1. Press M > GPS > Position.

2. Scroll to view the entire screen.

This displays the following information about the last

time your location was calculated:

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

the location was last calculated.

䢇The approximate location, expressed as latitude and

longitude.

䢇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.

䢇The number of satellites used to calculate the

location. In general, more satellites make for better

accuracy.

To calculate your location again:

䊳Press Rfrsh (left softkey).

It may take your phone several minutes to complete the

process of determining your location. During this time,

a message usually appears on your phone’s display

saying your phone is scanning for satellites. For tips on

Note If you are concerned about whether your local 911

emergency response center is equipped to receive

GPS location information, contact your local

authorities.

122 Section 2F. Tools

getting the best location calculation, see “Enhancing

GPS Performance” on page 122.

The Position screen displays the updated information.

To cancel a location calculation before it is completed:

䊳Press Cancel (right softkey) to return to the Position

screen or press P to return to standby mode.

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.

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.

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

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.

To improve accuracy and increase your chances of a

successful calculation, do the following while your

phone is determining your approximate location:

䢇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.

䢇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.

Tools

Section 2F. Tools 123

䢇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.

䢇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.

䢇Stay in network coverage. The network will provide your

phone with information that helps determine your

location more quickly and accurately.

Updating Satellite Almanac Data

Another way to keep the GPS feature of your phone

working well is to keep your satellite almanac data up

to date.

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.

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.

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

device) with a data cable and set your phone to

transmit data (see “To 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

Note Although moving your phone at a walking pace

decreases GPS performance, moving it at the speed

of a moving car does not.

Note When you make an emergency call, your phone

does not rely upon the almanac to determine your

location.

every second and the map software displays your

changing location on its map.

See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 122 for

more details on obtaining good location information.

Software Compatibility

Your phone sends location information to your laptop

or other device using the standard National Marine

Electronics Association (NMEA) format. Your phone

supports output messages in NMEA-0183 format and

supports the following NMEA-0183 sentences: GGA,

GLL, GSA, GSV, RMC, and VTG.

The map software running on your laptop or other

device must support NMEA 3.0.

To connect your phone to your laptop or other device:

1. Pull open the connector cover.

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

micro-USB data cable into the charger connector.

3. Insert the data plug into the COM port of your

laptop or other device.

Make sure no other application is using the COM port

selected.

Make sure the COM port settings of your laptop or

other device are set to the following:

䢇Bits per second: 4800

䢇Data bits: 8

䢇Parity: None

䢇Stop bits: 1

䢇Flow control: Hardware

Note Because your phone is continuously determining

your location, using the GPS feature of your phone

with map software uses the phone’s battery power

quickly.

Pairing Bluetooth Devices

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.

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.)

2. Select a device and press r

3. Enter the passkey and press r.

Understanding Bluetooth Access Settings

A Bluetooth device can have either Automatic or Ask

security access. The first time a Bluetooth device

connects to your i776 phone, you must grant the

device permission to connect. You can then change

the access setting of the device to either Automatic or

Ask.

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.

Devices are automatically granted permission during

the ten seconds after bonding. For more information

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

page 143.

The default for hands-free devices, such as Bluetooth

headsets, is Automatic.

Note Due to different specifications and features of other

Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and

operations may be different, and functions such as

transfer or exchange may not be possible with all

Bluetooth-compatible devices.

Making a Bluetooth Connection

The following sections cover how to connect your

phone to another Bluetooth device.

Sharing Your Phone’s Bluetooth Address

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.

Allowing Bluetooth Devices to Find Your Phone

To let devices find your phone and its Bluetooth

address, place your phone in discoverable mode.

Discoverable mode lasts for the duration selected

under Find Me Time in the Bluetooth Setup menu. During

this time, other devices that are within range can detect

your phone. You can then choose to grant or deny

each device’s request to bond.

To start discoverable mode:

䊳Press M > Bluetooth > Find Me.

Discovering Hands-Free Bluetooth Devices

To have your phone search for Bluetooth devices:

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

A list of hands-free devices displays. Devices that

do not have a name are listed by their Bluetooth

address.

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

devices, press Stop (left softkey).

Note If Bluetooth power is set to Off on your phone, you

will be prompted to turn power on in order to use

Bluetooth.

Note Some Bluetooth devices only have full functionality

when DTMF dialing is set to On. See “Phone Calls

Features” on page 61.

Note You must grant the device’s request in order to

receive information from the device on your phone.

Bluetooth

Section 2H. Bluetooth 143

䡲To stop the search and return to the previous

screen, press Cancel (right softkey).

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.

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.

Your i776 requires that you create a bond in order to

connect with another device. However, you can choose

to establish bonds with devices without connecting.

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.

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.

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

Bluetooth PIN.

Note Devices are automatically granted permission during

the ten seconds after bonding.

144 Section 2H. Bluetooth

To create a bond between your phone and another device:

1. Press M > Bluetooth.

Voicemail

Setting Up Your Voicemail Box

Using your i776 phone, dial your ten-digit Nextel

Personal Telephone Number (PTN). For example:

7035557777. Follow the system instructions to create a

new four- to seven-digit password, record your name,

and record a greeting. When the system says, “Thank

you for using Nextel Voicemail,” your mailbox is set up.

If you are setting up your voicemail from a phone other

than your i776, dial your ten-digit Nextel PTN. When

you hear the greeting, press the star key to access your

voicemail box. The system will prompt you to enter

your password. Enter the last seven digits of your

Nextel PTN. For example: 5557777. This is your

temporary password. Follow the system instructions to

complete your mailbox setup.

You are in the main voicemail menu when you hear the

voicemail system options.

For details on using your voicemail, follow the audio

prompts provided by the voicemail system.

Playing Messages

When you receive a new voicemail message, you can

either listen to it immediately by pressing Call (left

softkey), or later by pressing Back (right softkey).

To listen to your voicemail messages after dismissing

the onscreen prompt, press M > Messages > Voicemail.

You will be connected to your voicemail box.

Tip To receive voicemail messages, you must first set up

your voicemail box.

If you are bringing your phone number from another

carrier, we suggest you set up your voicemail box

after the number you brought to Nextel is active on

your Nextel phone and your temporary phone

number is deactivated. If you set up your voicemail

box prior to this, all messages and all settings

(including your greeting and password) will be lost

when the number you have brought to Nextel

becomes active.

Important Safety Information

Section 4A. Important Safety Information 191

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access

to Your Phone

Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls

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.

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.

Responsible driving practices can be found in “Smart Practices

While Driving” on page 202 and/or at the Motorola Web site:

www.motorola.com/callsmart.

Following Safety Guidelines

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.

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

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.

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.

Tip Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local

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

192 Section 4A. Important Safety Information

Operational Precautions

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:

Phone Operation

When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your radio

product as you would a wireline telephone. Speak directly into

the microphone.

Two-way radio operation

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.

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).

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.

If you wear a radio product on your body when

transmitting, always place the radio product in

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.

Approved Accessories

For a list of approved Motorola accessories call

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

www.motorola.com/support.

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.

Note Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and

request permission before using the phone near medical

equipment.

Important Safety Information

Section 4A. Important Safety Information 193

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas

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.

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:

䡲Fueling areas such as gas stations.

䡲Below deck on boats.

䡲Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.

䡲Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such

as grain, dust, or metal powders.

䡲Any other area where you would normally be advised to

turn off your vehicle’s engine.

Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone

Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as

they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or

make calls that increase your invoice.

Using Your Phone With a Hearing

Aid Device

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.

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.

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.

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

Note Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids,

or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that

contains your phone or accessories.

194 Section 4A. Important Safety Information

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 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.)

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:

䢇Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers

excellent use.

䢇Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.

䢇Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.

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

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:

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:

䢇Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to

ensure the minimum time interval:

198 Section 4A. Important Safety Information

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON,

it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate

with your phone, the system handling your call controls the

power level at which your phone transmits.

Your Motorola phone is designed to comply with local

regulatory requirements in your country concerning exposure

of human beings to RF energy.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards

described below.

In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined

in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to

human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers

and physicians from universities, government health agencies and

industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the

available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation.

In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the

existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the

National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements

(NCRP).

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if

you wear a handset on your body, use the Motorola supplied or

approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory.

If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is

at least 2.5 centimeters from your body when transmitting. Use

of non-Motorola-approved accessories may violate FCC RF

exposure guidelines.

Your Motorola phone is designed to comply with local

regulatory requirements in your country concerning exposure

of human beings to RF energy.

For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web

site at www.fcc.gov.

Portable Radio Product Operation and EME Exposure

Resolution 303 from July 2, 2002."

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless

Phones

Exposure to Radio Waves:

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is

designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits

for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal

Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. 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 and 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 is 1.6W/kg.2 Tests 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

1.The information provided in this document supersedes the

general safety information in user’s guides published prior to

May 1, 2006

2.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.

200 Section 4A. Important Safety Information

required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to

a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must

be tested and certified to the FCC that is does not exceed the

limit established by the government-adopted requirement for

safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and

locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by

the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model

phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.45 W/kg and when

tested on the body, as described in this user guide, is

1.35 W/kg during packet data transmission. (Body-worn

measurements differ among phone models, depending upon

available accessories and FCC requirements.)1

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of

various phones and at various positions, they all meet the

government requirement 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.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can
