1.1User guide
Installing the SIM and memory card
How to get your own mobile number and other details onto your mobile.
1. Slide the SIM card door towards
top, then lift upward to open.
2. Insert your SIM card into the tray, ensuring the
gold plate is facing down and the notch to the right.
First you have to insert your SIM
(subscriber identity module) into
your mobile. It contains your mobile
and fax numbers, service details
and contacts.
The holder for your SIM is underneath
the battery. If the SIM is removed,
you won’t be able to use your
mobile until a valid one is inserted.
Remember to always disconnect the
charger and other accessories from
your mobile before inserting and
removing the SIM.
You can only use your 3SIM in
mobiles which are enabled for
3services. If you try and use the
SIM in other mobiles you may cause
serious damage to the SIM which may
stop
you from being able to use it,
including preventing you from
making emergency calls. If this
happens, we are not responsible for
any such damage or usage problems.

1.3User guide
Installing and charging the battery
How to get your mobile charged up.
1. Push down the release latch, and slide
the cover back down to remove it.
2. Insert the battery under the tab at the top of the battery
compartment and push down into position.
Your new mobile battery does
not come fully charged. Before you
can use your mobile, you need to
install and charge the battery as
shown below.
Your mobile is designed to
be used only with Motorola Original™
batteries, and we recommend that
you store your battery in the
protective case when it’s not in use.
While you’re charging, the battery
level indicator at the bottom of your
screen will show you how much of
the battery is charged.
Your battery will perform at its
best after several charge and
discharge cycles.
If a battery hasn’t been used for
a long time, it will need to be
completely discharged by leaving
the mobile turned on and then
recharged 2 or 3 times before
reaching its full capacity.

(Battery Status: High, Charging

and remove the charger.

1.5User guide
Battery use
How to get the most out of your battery.
Your battery performance depends
on many factors, including:
signal strength
the features and / or settings you
select and use
the amount of voice, data and other
applications you use.
Battery care
To prevent burns and other injuries, don’t
let metal objects contact or short-circuit
the battery terminals.
For optimum battery performance, always
use Motorola Original™batteries and battery
chargers. Motorola’s mobile warranty does
not cover damage caused by using non-
Motorola batteries and / or battery charger.
New batteries, or batteries which have
been stored for a long time, may need
to be charged for longer.
Keep your battery at or near room
temperature when charging and don’t
expose batteries to temperatures below
-10ºC (14ºF) or above 45ºC (113ºF).
If you don’t intend to use your battery for
a while, store it uncharged in a cool, dark,
dry place, such as a refrigerator.
Over time, batteries gradually wear down
and need longer charging times. This is
normal. If you charge your battery regularly
and notice a decrease in talk time or an
increase in charging time, then it’s probably
time to buy a new battery.
Your Motorola A1000 battery must be
disposed of properly and may need to
be recycled. Refer to your battery’s label
for battery type and contact your local
recycling centre for proper disposal
methods. Never dispose of batteries
in a fire – they may explode.
