MOTOROLA ATRIX™

1Welcome
Welcome
MOTOROLA ATRIX
It’s not part computer, it’s leave-your-computer-behind.
• A computer that doubles as a phone: Built with
PC-like dual-core technology, the MOTOROLA
ATRIX also comes packing 1GB of RAM. You’ll see
everything in crisp, rich 24-bit color with the world’s
first qHD smartphone display. With the support of
up to 48GB memory, you’ll be able to store
thousands of songs, photos, and files.
• A phone that acts like a computer: With the
revolutionary webtop, you now have the freedom to
access and manage your files, photos, emails and
web on a larger screen virtually anywhere you go.
Just connect your ATRIX using the optional
Lapdock™ or HD Multimedia Dock (page 37).
Note: Certain apps and features may not be available
in all countries.
Caution: Before assembling, charging, or using your
phone for the first time, please read the important
legal and safety information packaged with your
product.

Cool down
In very limited circumstances, such as where your
phone has been exposed to extreme heat, a “Cool
Down” message will appear. To avoid possible damage
to your battery and phone, you should follow these
instructions until the phone is within its recommended
temperature range. When your phone is in “Cool
Down” mode, only emergency calls can be made.
Emergency calls
Note: Your service provider programs one or more
emergency phone numbers (such as 911 or 112) that
you can call under any circumstances, even when your
phone is locked. Emergency numbers vary by country.
Your pre-programmed emergency number(s) may not
work in all locations, and sometimes an emergency
call cannot be placed due to network, environmental,
or interference issues.
