Battery Use and Maintenance
•The Motorola 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 140°F (60°C) or fall below
-4°F (-20°C).
•Lithium Ion batteries have a self discharge rate
and without use, lose about 1% of their charge per
day.

Locating Your SIM Card
Locating Your SIM Card
Your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is a small
piece of plastic located in the SIM card holder in the
back of your handset, underneath the battery.
If your SIM card is not in the SIM card holder, it may
be in the box your handset came in, attached to the
SIM carrier. If this is the case, carefully detach your
SIM card from the surrounding plastic and insert it as
described in “Inserting Your SIM Card” on page 14.
SIM Card Security
Your SIM card stores all your Contacts information.
Since this information is stored on your SIM card, not
in your handset, you can remove the information by
removing your SIM card.
Note: Except for making emergency calls, your
handset will not function without the SIM
card.
To prevent unauthorized use of your handset, your
SIM card can be protected by a PIN that you enter
each time the handset is powered on. You can
change the PIN or turn off the requirement that it be
entered.
Note: Your PIN is set to OFF by default.
Entering the PIN
You may be required to enter a SIM PIN when you
first use your handset.
When you receive your handset, the SIM PIN is 0000.
Change your PIN to prevent fraudulent use of the
SIM card.
