Battery Charger

Rapid

BT60 Lithium

Ion

2.5 hours

Standard

5 hours

For best results, charge the batteries within the temperature range of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to

40°C).

Prolonged charging is not recommended.

Removing the Battery

1 With the phone powered off, remove the battery door.

2 Remove the battery by pushing it toward the antenna and lifting it out.

Battery Use and Maintenance

The Motorola iDEN 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.

Getting Started

Using the Memory Card

Your i885 phone comes with a 64 MB Micro SD memory card, memory card reader, and memory card adaptor.

A memory card is a removable flash memory card that you can use to store pictures, videos, and audio files. The memory card can be inserted in your phone or connected to your computer using the memory card reader and memory card adaptor.

When the memory card is in your phone, many types of pictures, videos, and audio files stored on the memory card can be viewed or played using your phone’s Media Center. Music files stored on the memory card can be played using your phone’s

MP3 Music Player.

For complete instructions on using the memory card with your phone and with your computer, see

“Memory Card” on page 26.

SIM Chip Security

Your SIM chip stores all your Contacts and protects your personal information. Since this information is stored on your SIM chip, not in your phone, you can remove the information by removing your SIM chip.

Note: Except for making emergency calls, your phone will not function without the SIM chip.

To prevent unauthorized use of your phone, your

SIM chip is protected by a PIN that you enter each time the phone is powered on. You can change the

PIN or turn off the requirement that it be entered.

Turning the PIN Requirement On and

Off

When the SIM PIN requirement is off, your phone can be used without entering a PIN.

Important: When the SIM PIN requirement is off, the personal data on your SIM chip is not protected. Anyone can use your phone and access your personal data.

When the SIM PIN requirement is on, you are prompted to enter your PIN each time you power on your phone.

Note: If a SIM PIN is required, your phone will not function until the SIM PIN is entered, except for making emergency calls.

1 From the main menu, select Settings >

Security > SIM PIN.

2 Select On or Off.

3 Enter the current SIM PIN.

14

Note: The default SIM PIN is 0000. Change your

PIN to prevent fraudulent use of the SIM

chip (see “Changing the PIN” on page 15).

4 Press

A under Ok.

Entering the PIN

1 When the Enter SIM PIN Code screen appears after you power on your phone, enter your SIM

PIN.

Boost TM Customer Care. See

“Unblocking the PIN”.

Changing the PIN

Note: The SIM PIN requirement must be turned on in order to access this feature.

Security > Change Passwords > SIM PIN.

Unblocking the PIN

If you enter your PIN incorrectly 3 times, your SIM chip is blocked. To unblock your SIM chip, you must contact Boost TM Customer Care to get a PIN

Unblock Code (PUK).

Important: If you unsuccessfully enter the PUK code 10 times, your SIM chip is permanently blocked and must be replaced. If this happens, all data is lost. You will get a message to contact

Boost TM Customer Care. Except for making emergency calls, your phone will not function with a blocked SIM chip.

To unblock the PIN:

1 Press

* # m 1.

2 At your Boost TM Customer Care representative’s request, provide the information needed to give you a PUK code.

15

Getting Started

3 Select Unblock PIN.

5 Enter a new 4- to 8-digit SIM PIN.

6 Re-enter your SIM PIN.

Note: These steps must be performed in quick succession.

If you entered the codes properly, SIM Unlocked appears on the display.

Inserting and Removing Your SIM

Chip

Important: Do not touch the gold-colored areas of your SIM chip.

The SIM chip is designed for optimal Contacts storage and feature use.

Note: In some cases, Contacts may not be accessible if you move your SIM chip to another phone. Contacts created with your i885 phone are not readable by an older iDEN SIM-based phone.

If you remove your SIM chip and use it with another phone, or use another SIM chip with your phone, the following information is erased:

To optimize your phone’s performance, extend the antenna when you make or receive a call, and avoid touching the antenna with any body part.
