Smart Key
The smart key gives you 
another way to perform 
many basic phone 
functions. ItÕs called the 
smart key because it 
anticipates the next action 
you are likely to perform. 
For example, if you highlight an item and press the smart key, the 
smart key selects the highlighted item. You can use the smart key 
to send and end calls, select menu items, toggle features on and 
off, and open your phonebook. The smart key usually performs 
the same function as the right soft key (
+).
Note: The smart key provides an optional way to do some things 
faster. It is never 
the only way to perform a task.
4-Way 
Navigation Keys
The 4-way navigation 
keys let you move through 
the menu. Simply press 
the appropriate directional navigation key to select features and 
adjust feature settings.

32Tip: Down and up are your primary movements within menus. 
Right and left are available for shortcuts (advancing through 
choices), datebook, adjusting settings (such as contrast or key 
volume), and when entering or editing text.
Battery Use
Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal 
objects to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.
To maximize your batteryÕs performance:
¥ Always use Motorola Originalª batteries and battery 
chargers. The phone warranty does not cover damage 
caused from using non-Motorola batteries and/or battery 
chargers.
¥ New batteries or batteries that have been stored for long 
periods of time may require a longer charge time.
¥ Maintain the battery at or near room temperature when 
charging.
¥ Do not expose batteries to temperatures below -10¡C 
(14¡F) or above 45¡C (113¡F). Always take your phone with 
you when you leave your vehicle.
¥ When you do not intend to use a battery for a while, store it 
uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place, such as a refrigerator.
¥ Over extended periods of time, batteries gradually wear 
down and require 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 is probably 
time to purchase a new battery. 
						

							33
About Your Phone 
¥ The more you talk on the phone or use phone features (like 
sending text messages), the less standby time your battery 
has. You can also extend battery life by turning off the 
status light. (See the ÒStatus LightÓ item on page 73.)
The rechargeable batteries that power this product 
must be disposed of properly and may need to be 
recycled. Refer to your batteryÕs label for battery type. 
Contact your local recycling center for proper disposal methods. 
Never dispose of batteries in a Þre because they may explode.

Dialing an Emergency Number
Your service provider programs one or more emergency phone 
numbers (such as 911) that you can call under any 
circumstances. You can dial and call the emergency number even 
when your phone is locked, when you are prompted to enter a 
code or password, when the SIM card is not inserted in your 
phone, or when the SIM card is blocked or disabled.
Note: Emergency numbers vary by country. Your phoneÕs 
emergency number(s) may not work in all locations.

Sending and Receiving Calls 
To call the emergency number at any time:
Entering Numbers in the Notepad
Your phone stores the most recent string of digits entered on the 
keypad in a temporary memory location called the 
notepad. 
These digits can be the last phone number that you called, or a 
phone number that you simply entered but did not call. These 
digits remain in the notepad even when you turn off the phone.
You can use the notepad to store a phone number that you 
intend to call later (such as a phone number told to you by the 
other party during a call). To retrieve these digits, see ÒUsing the 
NotepadÓ on page 80.
Muting the Ring or Vibrate Alert
You can mute your phoneÕs incoming call alert before answering 
the call.
While the phone is ringing or vibrating:
To specify a ring or vibration type, see ÒRing/VibrateÓ on

calling party may hear a busy signal.
Dialing With Speed Dial
The speed dial feature lets you dial any phonebook entry with a 
minimal number of keypresses.
