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.
For best results, charge the batteries within the
temperature range of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to
40°C).
•
•
Extreme temperatures degrade battery
performance. Do not store the battery where
temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C) or fall below
-4°F (-20°C).
Prolonged charging is not recommended.
Lithium Ion batteries have a self discharge rate
and without use, lose about 1% of their charge
per day.

Using the Memory Card
Your i885 phone comes with a 64 MB Micro SD
memory card, memory card reader, and memory
card adaptor.
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.
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.
Turning the PIN Requirement On and
Off
When the SIM PIN requirement is off, your phone
can be used without entering a PIN.
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.
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.
For complete instructions on using the memory
card with your phone and with your computer, see
“Memory Card” on page 26.
When the SIM PIN requirement is on, you are
prompted to enter your PIN each time you power
on your phone.
SIM Chip Security

Memory Card
Ensuring Files on the Memory
Card Are Compatible With
Your Phone
When your memory card is connected to your
computer, your computer lets you save files to your
memory card in ways that may not allow you to
access these files when the memory card is in your
i885 phone.
Memory Card
Your i885 phone comes with a 64 MB memory
card, memory card adaptor, and memory card
reader.
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 adaptor and the memory card
reader.
To ensure the files on your memory card are
compatible with your i885 phone, use the folder
structure, filename rules, and formats described in
the following sections.
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.
Folder Structure
The first time you insert the memory card into your
phone, your phone creates folders on the memory
card. When you save files from your computer to
the memory card, save each file to the appropriate
folder:
You can use a memory card reader and adapter or
a USB data cable to connect to your computer’s
USB port and access the memory card from your
computer. This lets you save files from your
computer to your memory card or save files from
your memory card to your computer.

The Music folder is for music files you will play
using the audio player. Files in this folder cannot
be accessed from the Media Center.

Language. Your phone can display the
languages listed and other languages that use
the same alphabets.
Because your phone creates these folders the first
time the memory card is inserted, you should insert
the memory card into your phone at least once
before using it with your computer.
Filename Rules

characters long, including the file extension and
folder name, can be read by your phone. If a file
name is more than 32 characters long, but no
more than 255 characters long, your phone

the memory card into folders and lists.
To skip to the next music file, press and release the

Do not hold the right side of the navigation key.
To skip to the previous music file, press and
release the left side of the navigation key, as if
scrolling left. Do not hold the left side of the
navigation key.
Since you will probably want to use the MP3 Music
Player primarily to play songs, the MP3 Music
Player treats the music files on the memory card as
songs when grouping and organizing them.
Fast-Forward and Rewind
The MP3 Music Player uses metadata found in
most music files to group the files on the memory
card by album, artist, and genre. You can also
create your own groupings of music files, called
playlists.
To fast-forward a playing music file, press and hold
the right side of the navigation key, as if scrolling
right.

Playing a List, Repeat, and
Shuffle
When you select an music file to play, the MP3
Music Player plays this music file and then plays
the other music files grouped with it. The repeat
and shuffle features help determine which of these
songs are played.
In the Albums, Artists, and Genres folders, any
music files that do not contain enough metadata to
be grouped by album, artist, or genre are placed in
a folder labelled “Unknown”.
Playing Music While Files Are
Loading
If you are not using the repeat or shuffle features,
the MP3 Music Player plays the music file you
select and then plays the rest of the files in the list
or folder, in the order they appear, until it gets to
the end of the list or folder. The MP3 Music Player
then goes to the beginning of the list and pauses
until you resume playing.
The first time the audio player encounters music
files on your memory card, it must load and
organize these files. If a large number of files must
be loaded, this may take a long time.
To play music while files are loading:
1 Access the audio player.

them, but they do not change anything in the other
folders or on the memory card. Adding a file to a
playlist does not copy it or move it. Removing a file

listed in, does not delete the file from any other
location.

Understanding Bluetooth® Access Settings
Understanding Bluetooth®
Access Settings
A Bluetooth device can have either automatic or
ask security access. The first time a Bluetooth
device connects to your i885 phone, you must
grant the device permission to connect. You can
then change the access setting of the device to
either automatic or ask.
Bluetooth®
Your i885 phone is a Bluetooth device. Bluetooth
devices create seamless voice and data
connections with other Bluetooth devices, such as
another Bluetooth phone, a Bluetooth pen,
headset, or desktop adaptor. These connections
are made wirelessly.
You can use your i885 phone to send information
such as Contacts entries, Datebook events, and
pictures to another Bluetooth device.
If you set a device to automatic, then that device
can connect automatically to your phone when it is
in range. If you set a device to ask, then that device
must request permission before it can connect to
your phone.
Devices must be within 32 feet (10 meters) of your
phone to be recognized.
Note: This measurement represents optimal
conditions. Actual conditions may require
you to position your phone closer.
Devices are automatically granted permission
during the 10 seconds after bonding. For more
information about bonding, see “Bluetooth® Bonds”
on page 148.
You can only connect your phone to one device at
a time.
The default for hands free devices, such as
Bluetooth headsets, is automatic.

phone’s Bluetooth address. You can also have
your phone search for Bluetooth devices to learn

Bluetooth®
Discoverable mode lasts for the duration selected
under Find Me Duration in the Bluetooth Setup
menu. During this time, other devices that are
within range can detect your phone. You can then
choose to grant or deny each device’s request to
bond.
Bluetooth® Bonds
A bond is an encryption key that is generated when
two Bluetooth devices exchange a common PIN.
This key verifies the identity of each device, and
encrypts any data transferred between the devices.
Once the PIN is exchanged, the devices do not
have to be in discoverable mode in order to
exchange information. You only need to create a
bond once between two devices.
Note: You must grant the device’s request in
order to receive information from the
device on your phone.
To start discoverable mode, from the main
menu, select Bluetooth > Find Me.
Discovering Bluetooth® Devices
If you search for devices and you select a device
that you are currently bonded with from the list of
found devices, then the current bond with that
device will be voided. You will have to re-establish
the bond.
To have your phone search for Bluetooth devices:
From the main menu, select Bluetooth > Hands
Free > [Find Devices].
Your i885 requires that you create a bond in order
to connect with another device. However, you can
choose to establish bonds with devices without
connecting.
A list of hands free devices displays. Devices
that do not have a name are listed by their
Bluetooth address.
Note: Devices are automatically granted
permission during the 10 seconds after
bonding.
To stop the search and go to the list of found
devices, press Aunder Stop.
To stop the search and return to the previous
screen, press Aunder Cancel.

Making a Bluetooth® Connection
Some Bluetooth devices ship with Bluetooth PINs.
Please refer to your Bluetooth device’s user guide
to locate this information.
Connecting to a Stored Device
If you have previously connected to a device, the
device will be stored on your phone so you can
connect with it easily.
If a device ships without a Bluetooth PIN, then you
can enter any PIN for that device. To establish a
connection to that device, enter the same PIN for
both your phone and the device. For example, if
you enter 1234 as the device’s PIN, then enter
1234 as your phone’s PIN.

GPS (Global Positioning System) Enabled
You can also use the GPS feature to view your
approximate location. Location information
appears on the phone’s display.
GPS (Global Positioning
System) Enabled
Your phone’s GPS Enabled feature uses
information from Global Positioning System (GPS)
satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the
approximate geographical location of your phone,
expressed as latitude and longitude. The
availability and accuracy of this location
Java applications loaded on your phone can also
request your location. If your phone is connected to
a laptop computer or similar device, software
To protect your privacy, you can control whether
these requests are granted.
information (and the amount of time that it takes to
calculate it) will vary depending on the environment
in which you are using the GPS feature. For
example, GPS location fixes are often difficult to
obtain indoors, in covered locations, between high
buildings, or in other situations where you have not
established a clear broad view of the sky. Also,
nearby radio and electronic equipment may block
or interfere with reception from these distant
satellites. SEE: “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in
Mind”.
IMPORTANT: Things to Keep
in Mind
If you are using the GPS feature of your phone
while driving, please give full attention to driving
and to the road.
Where adequate signals from multiple satellites
are not available (usually because your GPS
antenna cannot establish a view of a wide area of
open sky), the GPS feature of your phone WILL
NOT WORK. Such situations include but are
not limited to:
When you make a 911 emergency call, the GPS
feature of your phone can help emergency
personnel locate you if your phone has adequate
access to GPS satellite signals and your
emergency response center is equipped to process
such information.
•
•
In underground locations
Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered
vehicles
•
Under any other metal or concrete roof or
structure
166
IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind
•
Between tall buildings or under dense
tree-cover
Even where adequate signals from multiple
satellites are available, your GPS feature will
only provide an approximate location, often
within 150 feet (45 meters) but sometimes
much further from your actual location. Advice
on how to improve GPS performance is
provided in “Enhancing GPS Performance” on
page 170.
•
•
Near a powerful radio or television tower
Some radios, entertainment equipment and
other electronic devices may generate
signals that can block or interfere with the
GPS receiver ability to receive the distant
satellite signals, particularly when such
devices are operating in close proximity to
the GPS receiver. Therefore, in a 911 call, or
when otherwise using the GPS location
function, always move your phone away
from any such devices.
While the GPS feature of your phone can be a
valuable navigational aid, it does not replace the
need for careful navigating and good judgment.
Never rely solely on one device for navigation.
Remember that the accuracy of the location
information and the time needed to obtain it will
vary depending on circumstances, particularly the
ability to receive signals from adequate numbers of
satellites.
•
•
When your GPS antenna is covered (for
example, by your hand or other object) or
facing the ground
In temperature extremes outside the
operating limits of your phone
On emergency calls, your phone uses assistance
information from the phone network to improve the
speed and accuracy of your phone’s location
calculation: if such assistance information
becomes unavailable, it may reduce the speed and
accuracy of the location calculation.
Walking or driving very slowly may also
substantially reduce GPS performance.
Even where location information can be
calculated in such situations, it may take much
longer to do so, and your location estimate may
not be as accurate. Therefore, in any 911 call,
always report the location to the emergency
response center if you can and if you cannot,
remain on your phone for as long as the
emergency response center instructs you.
167
GPS (Global Positioning System) Enabled
The satellites used by the GPS feature of your
phone are controlled by the U.S. government and
are subject to changes implemented in accordance
with the Department of Defense GPS user policy
and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. These
changes may affect the performance of the GPS
feature of your phone.
In some cases, your local 911 emergency
response center may not be equipped to
receive GPS location information. For this
reason, and because the GPS location information
reported is only approximate or may not be
available in your location (see “IMPORTANT:
Things to Keep in Mind” on page 166), always
report your location to the 911 operator you
speak to when making an emergency call, if able,
just as you would when using a phone without GPS
capabilities.
Making an Emergency Call
Dial 911 to be connected to an emergency
response center. If you are on an active call, you
must end it before calling 911.
Note: If you are concerned about whether your
local 911 emergency response center is
equipped to receive GPS location
When you make an emergency 911 call, the GPS
feature of your phone begins to seek information to
calculate your approximate location. It will take
the GPS feature of your phone some time to
determine your approximate location. Even
where your phone has good access to sufficient
GPS satellite signals and network assist data, it
may take 30 seconds or more to determine the
approximate location. This time will increase where
there is reduced access to satellite signals. When
your approximate location is determined, it is made
available to the appropriate emergency response
center.
information, contact your local authorities.
In general, if your phone has access to signals
from more GPS satellites, your location will be
determined faster and more accurately than if your
phone has access to signals from fewer GPS
satellites.
If your phone does not have adequate access to
GPS satellites signals, the location of the nearest
cell tower in contact with your phone is
automatically made available to the emergency
response center, if the center has the capability to
receive such information.
168
Viewing Your Approximate Location
See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 170
for information on how to help your phone
determine your location.
It may take your phone several minutes to
complete the process of determining your location.
During this time, a message usually appears on
your phone’s display saying your phone is
scanning for satellites. For tips on getting the best
location calculation, see “Enhancing GPS
Performance” on page 170.

Hold your phone to enhance reception. Signals
from GPS satellites are transmitted to your GPS
antenna, which is in your phone antenna. Hold
your phone away from your body, giving the
antenna clear access to satellite signals. Do not
cover the antenna area with your fingers or
anything else.
Enhancing GPS Performance
Sometimes the GPS feature of your phone may be
unable to complete a location calculation
successfully. If this happens when you are making
an emergency call, the location of the nearest cell
tower in contact with your phone is made available
to the appropriate emergency response center if
the center has the capability to receive such
information. If this happens when you are trying to
view your location on the phone’s display, you will
see a message indicating that your phone cannot
access satellites.
GPS antenna
To improve accuracy and increase your chances of
a successful calculation, do the following while
your phone is determining your approximate
location:
•
Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best
where there is nothing between your phone and
a large amount of open sky. If possible, go
outside, away from tall buildings and foliage.
While performance in a building is improved by
moving closer to windows, glass with certain sun
shielding films may block satellite signals.
•
Move away from electronic devices. Radios,
entertainment devices, and other electronic
devices may generate interfering signals that
may prevent GPS receiver operation if they are
in close proximity to the phone. Move your
phone away from such devices when using the
GPS-Enabled feature.
•
Extend your phone antenna.

Updating Satellite Almanac Data
•
•
Stand still. If possible, stand still until your phone
is finished determining your location. Moving
your phone at a walking pace while your phone
is calculating your approximate location may
substantially decrease GPS performance.
Updating Satellite Almanac
Data
Note: This feature may not be offered by Boost
Mobile®.
In a car. When using the GPS Enabled feature in
a car, position your phone so that the GPS
antenna has good access to GPS signals
through the car’s windows. Typically, the GPS
antenna has best access to GPS signals in a car
when placed near a window.
Another way to keep the GPS feature of your
phone working well is to keep your satellite
almanac data up to date.
The United States government maintains an
almanac of data about where GPS satellites are as
they orbit the Earth. This information is available to
your phone. Keeping your satellite almanac up to
date helps your phone determine your location
more quickly.
Note: Although moving your phone at a walking
pace decreases GPS performance,
moving it at the speed of a moving car
does not.
The almanac contains information about the
location of satellites, their operational status, and
other satellite information. Keeping this information
updated enhances the performance of your GPS
feature. In most cases, your phone will be able to
get a fix in strong satellite signal conditions with
outdated almanac data, but it may take longer.
•
Stay in network coverage. Depending on your
service provider, the network will provide your
phone with information that helps determine
your location more quickly and accurately.
Note: When you make an emergency call, your
phone does not rely upon the almanac to
determine your location.
171
GPS (Global Positioning System) Enabled
If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your
phone may prompt you to update it. Follow the
instructions that appear on the phone’s display.
You may be asked to go to a web site or call a
customer care number.

Setting Privacy Options
Your phone’s GPS privacy options control whether
Java applications on your phone or other software
applications may view the location of your
phone.You may set your phone to one of these
GPS privacy options.
Setting the GPS PIN Security Feature
To prevent your GPS privacy settings from being
altered without your knowledge, your GPS privacy
option can be protected by a PIN.
Note: Privacy options do not apply to the
transmission of location information
during emergency 911 calls.
When you receive your phone, the GPS security
feature is turned off, so you do not have to enter a

Software Compatibility
Your phone sends location information to your
laptop or other device using the standard National
Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) format.
Your phone supports output messages in
NMEA-0183 format and supports the following
NMEA-0183 sentences: GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV,
RMC, and VTG.
Using GPS with Map Software
You can use the GPS feature of your phone to
provide approximate location data to a laptop
computer or similar device that is running
interactive map software such as that made by
DeLorme or Microsoft. This way, if your phone has
good access to GPS signals, your approximate
position on a map can be made available as you
travel in a vehicle.
The map software running on your laptop or other
device must support NMEA 3.0.
To do this, connect your phone to your laptop (or
other device) with a serial data cable, and set your
phone to transmit data (see “Getting Started” on
page 174). Your phone then provides your
approximate location to the device running the map
