your stored list, press a button and the number is dialed for you.
You can create and edit your lists using any of the following methods:
•
•
•
Phone based using the Programming functions

NOTE: You may want to read “Pause Digit Entry” on page 17 and
“Plus Dialing” on page 27 before you create a stored list from
your phone. Using Pause Digit Entry and Plus Dialing will
enable you to create stored lists that will save time when plac-
ing calls.
Storing Names and Numbers
This programming function allows you to store up to 100 names, phone
numbers and private ID numbers. Your i500plus phone will
automatically assign the next available speed dial number, which you
can change. Once you have stored an individual, you can call them by
scrolling through the list and finding their name, using the speed dial
number or using Nextel Direct Connect (see “Nextel Direct Connect®”
on page 57). And, whenever the person calls you, your phone will
display their name if you entered their 10-digit phone number. The
display holds 12 phone-number characters. If the phone number exceeds
12 characters, you can pressounder “More” to see the remaining
characters. To return to the start of the number, pressounder
“Numbr”.
You can store up to 100 names, phone numbers and private IDs using
the following steps:

Press * then # then 2 then 0.
The message: 20=Phone / Prvt List displays. Pressounder

screen.

Enter the name of the individual you want to store. (Notice, each
key has a number and several letters. To select different letters
on a key, quickly press the key until the desired letter displays.
For example, to enter the letter Y you must press the 9 key 3
times quickly. Also, you can press and hold # to change the
case of the letter you just entered (lower to upper and upper to
lower case). The default style is upper case.)
NOTE: Press the left side of the lr button to backspace or
delete a letter. Press the right side of the lr button to
insert a space.
After you have entered the name, pressounder “Store”.

Repeat steps 2 through 6 to add additional names/numbers.
Pressounder “Exit” when you have finished.
NOTE: To see the name with Caller ID, enter the caller’s 10-digit
phone number (703-555-9999) in your phone list (see “Caller
ID” on page 50).
Pause Digit Entry
When storing a number, you can program your phone so that it will not
only dial a number but also pause and enter another series of numbers
such as a personal identification number (PIN) or password. This
feature is particularly useful for automated services such as voice mail
and banking systems.
Here’s how it works! Let’s say you have a company voice mail account
that you frequently check while on travel. And, to access that account
you must do the following:
•
•
•
Dial your work number;
Press # while the voice mail greeting is being played; and
Enter your PIN to access your messages.
You can program your i500plus phone to enter all of the above
information for you. All you have to do is separate each entry with a
pause. If you were to program your phone to automatically input the
above information, the stored data would look like this
17035551234P#P1234. In this example, the first eleven digits represent
the number that must be dialed to access your voice mail. The P
represents a 3 second pause. The # interrupts your greeting. The second
P represents another 3 second pause. The last four digits represent your
PIN.
17
You can use this feature not only to enter PINs and passwords but also
to have the phone automatically select menu options (i.e., press 1 to hear
messages).
To create a three-second pause follow the steps below:
Press and hold * for two seconds. The pause symbol (P) will
appear.
NOTE: You can enter up to 20 numbers/characters in a single entry,
stored or dialed.
NOTE: If you use a system that will not let you enter an option until
the automated message has played in its entirety, you can pro-
gram your phone to pause for more than 3 seconds. For exam-
ple, performing the above step twice will program two pauses
and cause your phone to wait 6 seconds before entering the
next set of numbers.
Editing Stored List Entries
Once you have created lists, you can edit them as necessary. Select the
applicable option below to edit a portion of a list.

List Manager User Tips
•
If you have already created lists on your phone, to avoid losing your
existing lists, send that information to List Manager before
modifying your lists on the List Manager website.
•
When sending lists from your phone, the transmission to the Web is
immediate. It’s not necessary to confirm the transaction on the
website.
•
•
When sending information from the website to the phone, you must
confirm the action on your phone.
If you send information from the website to the phone and realize
you have made a mistake, you can decline the update from the
phone. When the “New Net Mail” message arrives on your phone,
select “Later” then delete the message from your Net Mail inbox.
•
If you have more than one phone, you must register each phone
individually with Nextel. Or, you can register as an Account
Administrator and manage multiple phones.
21
For List Manager Account Administrators
Account Administrators can manage large groups of phones and
synchronize phone lists across multiple workgroups. To do this,
however, there are a few things you’ll want to know.
•
You must register with Nextel as an Account Administrator. To so
so, you will need to provide the following information:
– Account Number
– Billing address zip code
– Last account balance
•
If you have registered as an Account Administrator on a master
account, you will have access to all accounts associated with the
master account. If you do not have access to your company’s Nextel
master account, you must register separately for each individual
account you wish to access.
•
•
•
Talkgroups cannot be created through List Manager. Please call
Nextel Customer Care at 1-800-639-6111 to have your Talkgroups
set up by a Nextel Customer Care Representative.
Administrators may register as an individual user and/or an
Account Administrator. However, you do not need to have a Nextel
phone to act as an Account Administrator.
Administrators can create master lists or templates to send to
multiple users. When sent to a group of users, those templates will
occupy certain positions on the user’s phone list and will overwrite
information already in those positions. For example, an Account
Administrator for the Marketing Department creates a template
for the 30-employee group. If the employee accepts the
Administrator’s template, it will occupy positions 71-100 on
each employees’ phone list. Employees cannot edit, change, delete
or modify information stored in those 30 positions (71-100).
•
To avoid loss of information, individual users should be notified in
advance which list positions a template will occupy.
iDEN Organizer
If you want to use your computer to create stored lists for your i500plus
phone, use Nextel’s iDEN Organizer. It’s available for programming
names, phone numbers, and Private IDs into your phone. To order, call
SM
Nextel Nextday Accessories at 1-800-914-3240 or contact your Nextel
Authorized Representative.

a.m. time. For example, 2:00 p.m. is 1400 hours in military time
(0200 + 1200 = 1400).
Below is a list of hours translated into military time:

Using T9® Text Input
As you compose email or enter street and web addresses on your Nextel
phone, you will need to type words, numbers and symbols. Your Nextel
data-capable phone has embedded software, called T9 Text Input, that
makes typing on a phone keypad much like typing on a computer
keyboard: it eliminates the traditional “multi-tap” method of text entry.
As you type, you press only one key per letter. As you type, T9 Text
Input matches your keystrokes to words in its linguistic database of
approximately 60,000 words and proper names. There’s even a
provision to store words you frequently use that aren’t in the T9
database.
Entering Characters, Numbers and Symbols
In applications that require text input, such as email, address book, and
search, there are four text entry modes available: Word, Alpha, Number,
and Symbol.
Word—activates single-key-press T9 Text Input.
Alpha—for standard keypad text entry called “multi-tap”.
Num—for entering keypad numbers.
Sym—for entering punctuation symbols such as “@” or “?”.
The menu option in the lower right corner of the phone screen indicates
your current text entry mode. If the option is “word,” you are in T9 Text
Input Mode. To change text entry modes, press the rightountil you see
the desired text entry mode.
T9 Navigation Keys
Your phone keys assume different functions while in T9 Text Entry
Mode just as they did when in Net Mode. The following keys will be
instrumental while using T9:
lr
Backspace/Erase: Press
once to backspace or to erase a single
character. Press and hold to erase the entire message.
lr
Space: Press
once to accept a word and insert a space when
entering text.
Next: Press 0 to display more words that match the keystroke
sequence you entered. Words that you have added to the T9 database
will begin appearing after you press 0 twice.
www.nextel.com
68
Using T9® Text Input
Shift: Press and hold # until you hear a beep to make the next letter
uppercase. The text entry mode indicator will change to reflect the
current case. For example, when in lowercase the text entry mode will
appear as “word” or “alpha.” When in uppercase, the text entry mode
will appear as “WORD” or “ALPHA.”
Punctuation: Press 1 to automatically insert a period, a comma or an
apostrophe. Press 0 to display additional punctuation choices. Press
lr
to accept the punctuation and continue typing.
Entering Text Using T9 Text Input (word mode)
To learn how to enter text using T9 Text Input technology, follow the
instructions below:

a
b
word
Type your word by using one key-press per desired letter. The
displayed word may change as you type it. Do not try to correct
the word as you go. Type to the end of the word before editing.
T9 Text Input matches your key strokes to words in its database
and will display the most commonly used matching word.
If the word that appears is not the desired word, press 0 to
change the word on the display to the next most likely word.
Repeat until the desired word appears.
NOTE: If the phone is not able to guess the word you are attempt-
lr
ing to spell, press
to erase the current word on
your screen. Press the rightountil you see “alpha” and
enter the word using the standard multi-tap option (see
Entering Text Using Alpha Mode & Adding Words to the T9
Database). When you return to T9 Text Input (word mode)
the word you just typed is automatically added to the T9
database.
69
Entering Text Using Alpha Mode & Adding Words to the T9
Database
Words that do not appear in the T9 database may be added easily using
multi-tap text entry in “alpha” mode. The “unknown” word is added to
the T9 database automatically so you can type it in “word” mode in the
future. To add a word to the T9 database, follow the steps below.

From any screen that displays one of the four
text entry modes (word, alpha, SYM,
NUM), press the rightountil “alpha”

Enter the word using multiple key presses as required for the
desired letters. For example, to type “test”: press 8 once, 3
twice, 7 four times, and 8 once.
When you return to T9 Text Input (word mode) the word is auto-
matically added to the T9 database. To return to T9 mode, press
the rightountil the T9 indicator “word” appears in the display.
NOTE: You must return to T9 mode to save your word in the data-
base for future use.
User Tips
•
To add a word to T9’s database, the word must be typed entirely in
“alpha” mode and you must then return to T9 mode (word mode).
The combination of these two actions will store your word in the
database.
•
•
Words that you add to the T9 database will always begin to appear
in third position, meaning you will need to press 0 twice before
your added words appear.
T9’s database cannot store alphanumeric combinations (i.e. Y2K)
or web URL’s.

Desktop Charger Troubleshooting
If the battery is not charging and there is:
A flashing yellow indicator—
•
If a battery is in the rear pocket, the rear pocket’s LED continues to
flash yellow (indicating that the charger’s pocket is in a “Wait
State”) until the battery in the front pocket is more than 90%
charged (front pocket’s LED is solid green). This is normal
operation.
•
To protect your battery’s life expectancy, the Charger does not rapid
charge a battery when its temperature is below 5oC (41oF) or above
45oC (113oF).
No LED indication—
•
•
•
Check that the i500plus phone with battery, or a battery alone, is
inserted correctly.
Make sure that the power supply is plugged into an appropriate AC
outlet and that the connector is properly seated.
Rear pocket only: Remove the battery from the Charger. Use an
ordinary pencil eraser to clean the three metal contacts on the
battery and then place the battery in the Charger.
•
If the LED indicator remains turned OFF, the battery may be
defective and should be replaced.
A flashing red indicator—
•
Remove the battery from the Charger. Use an ordinary pencil eraser
to clean the metal contacts on the battery and then place the battery
into the Charger.
•
•
If the LED indicator continues to flash red, the battery may be
defective and should be replaced.
If both LEDs flash red, this indicates that the incorrect power
supply is plugged in.

Activation Number contained in these materials, you (“Customer”) must read and agree to
the following terms and conditions of Nextel wireless telephone service (“Service”). By
calling to activate service, Customer applies and subscribes for Services provided by
Nextel (the “Company”) and confirms that Customer has read, understands, agrees to and
accepts the terms and conditions stated herein. Customer understands that Company will
rely upon the information provided by Customer including credit information, in making a
decision to provide Services. Customer understands that Company may request and verify
Customer’s bank references and perform a credit history check utilizing standard
commercial credit reference services in connection with Company’s review of the
Customer’s credit worthiness. Customer understands that a security deposit or air time
usage limit may be required.
1. USE OF SERVICE—Customer must comply with all FCC rules and regulations.
Customer will not use the Service for any unlawful purpose. Customer will not use the
Service in aircraft.
2. CREDIT APPLICATION—This Agreement shall be contingent upon Company’s
approval of Customer’s credit. Company may require Customer to update credit
information from time to time. Customer warrants and represents that all credit
information furnished is complete, accurate and true. If Company subsequently
determines that any statements regarding Customer’s credit are false, incomplete or
inaccurate, Company may declare Customer to be in default and may exercise any
remedies it has under these Terms and Conditions of Service and at law or in equity.
3. CUSTOMER RADIO EQUIPMENT—Company is not responsible for the installation,
operation, quality of transmission or maintenance of the equipment. Company reserves the
right to change or remove assigned codes and/or telephone numbers when such change is
reasonably necessary in the conduct of its business. Customer does not have any
proprietary interest in such codes or telephone numbers. Federal and state laws make it
illegal for third parties to listen in on service, however complete privacy cannot be
guaranteed.
4. SECURITY DEPOSITS—Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to require
Customer to make a deposit to guarantee payment of Service charges. Customer grants
Company a security interest in such deposits, to secure the payment of all sums due
thereunder as well as the performance of all other obligations Customer may have to the
Company whether now existing or hereafter arising. Upon termination of Service,
Company may apply the deposit against any outstanding Service charges of Customer or
any other amount owed to Company. Company reserves the right to interrupt services if
service appears to have excessive charges or any unusual calling patterns are observed on
Customer’s account. Such interruption may be done to protect Customer or Company as
the Company determines in its sole discretion.
5. RATES, CHARGES AND PAYMENTS—Company shall issue invoices for Service on
a monthly basis which are due and payable upon receipt. Monthly Access Charges shall be
invoiced in advance. Airtime and long-distance charges shall be invoiced in arrears.
Customer is responsible to pay Company on a timely basis, for charges for Service
payments as set forth on the Company’s then-current rate plans, and any modifications
thereto. Customer acknowledges that chargeable time for telephone calls originated by a
unit begins when a connection is established with Company facilities. Customer accepts
responsibility for Airtime charges from invoicing telephone calls to its mobile unit from
the time that Customer responds to the call. If Customer disputes any Service charges,
105
Customer must pay entire amount set forth in the invoice by the due date and submit a
written explanation within forty-five (45) days from the date on the invoice. If Company
determines that an error was made on Customer’s invoice, Company shall credit
Customer’s account in the amount of the error. If Customer does not pay the amount in
dispute, Company may exercise any remedies it may have for non-payment of Service
charges. Company reserves the right to modify any and all elements of the Service charges
at any time. Payments which are not received within thirty (30) days from the day of the
invoice shall be subject to late payment charges. If Customer does not make payments,
such failure shall be a default and Company shall be entitled to exercise any remedies it
may have under these Terms and Conditions of Service or at law or in equity.
6. NONPAYMENT/BREACH—A late payment charge of 1.5% (or the maximum interest
rate permitted by law) per month, may be applied to Customer’s account if monthly
invoices are not paid by the due date. The later payment charge is applied to the total
unpaid balance due and outstanding. The late payment charge is for costs related to the
non-timely payment and shall be deemed an interest payment. A charge of $25.00 will be
made by Company for any check or negotiable instrument tendered by Customer and
returned unpaid by a financial institution for any reason. Company may demand payment
by money order, cashier’s check or similarly secure form of payment, at Company’s
discretion. If Company obtains the service of a collection or repossession agency or an
attorney to assist the Company in remedying Customer’s breach of any payment
obligations, Customer shall be liable for this expense. Customer understands that in the
event of nonpayment of charges or any other breach of these Terms and Conditions of
Service in addition to any other remedies the Company may have, Company may
temporarily or permanently terminate Service to Customer. If Company disconnects the
Service, Customer shall be liable to pay a re-connect charge of $25.00 per unit, in addition
to the outstanding Service charges before the Company will reactivate Service. Company
reserves the right to modify the terms of service as a precondition to reactivating service.
7. TAXES—Customer is responsible for all federal, state and local taxes for fees which
are computed in accordance with the appropriate tax laws for Services.
8. LIMITATION AND CONDITION OF LIABILITY/INDEMNITY—The Company’s
sole liability for Service disruption, whether caused by the negligence of the Company or
otherwise, is limited to a credit allowance not exceeding an amount equal to the
proportionate charge to the Customer for the period of Service disruption. In no event is
the company or lessor liable for actual consequential or special damages caused by its
negligence or otherwise nor for economic loss, personal injuries or property damages
sustained by customer or any third parties. Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
Company harmless from any Customer violations of FCC rules and regulations or
Customer violation of any statutes, ordinances or laws of any local, state or federal public
authority.
9. NOTICE REGARDING USE OF SERVICE FOR 911 OR OTHER EMERGENCY
CALLS—The Service provider hereunder does not interact with 911 and other emergency
services in the same manner as land line telephone service. Depending on the
circumstances of a particular call, the Service provided hereunder may not be able to
identify your location to emergency services and may not always be connected to the

MHz to 870 MHz and employs digital modulation techniques. When you communicate
with your radio product, the system handling your call controls the power level at which
your radio product transmits. The output power level typically may vary over a range from
0.00024 watts to 0.6 watts.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola Radio Product is designed to comply with the following national and
international standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy:
•
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47
CFR part 2 sub-part J
•
•
•
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95. 1-1992
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). Report 86
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom,
GS 11, 1988
•
•
Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) DIN-0848
Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6
To assure optimal radio product performance and make sure human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth in the above standards,
always adhere to the following procedures:
When placing or receiving a phone call, or using the group and private call functions with
a Group/Private Speaker OFF (muted speaker icon visible in the display), hold your radio
product as you would a telephone. Speak directly into the microphone and position the
antenna up and over your shoulder.
When using your radio product as a traditional two-way radio
while making group or private calls with the Group/Private
Speaker ON (no speaker icon visible in the display), hold the radio
product in a vertical position with the microphone one to two
inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the lips.
For body-worn operation, with or without an earpiece or any other
accessory, the antenna should be kept at least one inch (2.5 cm)
from the body when transmitting. A Motorola plastic carry holder
with a belt clip and a leather carry case are available as accessories to this radio product
for body-worn use.
When using any data feature of the radio product, with or without an accessory cable,
position the antenna of the radio product at least one inch (2.5 cm) from the body.

Safety and General Information
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE”. Holding the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the radio product to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain equipment may
not be shielded against the RF signals from your radio product.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation
of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•
ALWAYS keep the radio product more than six inches from the pacemaker when the
radio product is turned ON.
•
•
•
Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket.
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some radio products may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your radio product OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that
could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Interference to Other Electronic Devices
•
RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer
or representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to
the vehicle.
•
Turn your radio product OFF before boarding any aircraft to prevent possible
interference to aircraft systems. Regulations of the United States Federal
Communications Commission prohibit use when the plane is airborne. The United
States Department of Transportation regulations require you have permission from a
crew member to use your radio product while the plane is on the ground.
109
Safety and General
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the area where you
drive. Always obey them.
When using the radio product while driving, please:
•
•
•
Give full attention to driving and to the road
Use hands-free operation, if available
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so
require.
Operational Warnings
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Warning
Turn off your radio product when you are in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio product type especially
qualified for use in such areas (for example, Factory Mutual Approved). Sparks
in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting
in bodily injury, or even death.
NOTE: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to
above include fueling areas such as: below decks on boats; fuel
or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air con-
tains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal pow-
ders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres are often, but not always posted.
Batteries
Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause
an explosion.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio
product when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in
areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
Do NOT place objects, including both installed and portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. An
air bag inflates with great force. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Using a leather carry case may help protect the surfaces and help prevent liquids (e.g.,
rain) from entering into the interior of the radio product. This product is not water proof,
and exposing the unit to liquids may result in permanent damage to the unit.
If you radio product interior gets wet, then do not try to accelerate drying with the use of
an oven or a dryer as this will damage the radio product and void the warranty. Instead, do
the following:
1. Immediately power off the radio product.
2. Remove Battery from radio product.
3. Shake excess liquid from phone.
4. Place phone and battery in an area that is at room temperature and has good air flow.
5. Let phone and battery dry for 72 hours before reconnecting the battery and/or powering
on the phone.
If the phone does not work after following the steps listed above, contact your dealer for
servicing information.
Clean the external surfaces of the radio product with a damp cloth, using a mild solution of
dishwashing detergent and water. Some household cleaners may contain chemicals that
could seriously damage the radio product. Avoid the use of any petroleum-based solvent
cleaners. Also, avoid applying liquids directly on the radio product.
Antenna Considerations
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could impair call quality, damage the radio product, or result in violation of
local agency regulations.
