Note: If you are concerned about whether your local 911  
emergency response center is equipped to receive  
GPS location information, contact your local authorities.  
Making an Emergency Call  
Dial 911 and press `to be connected to an  
emergency response center. If you are on an active  
call, you must end it before calling 911.  
Viewing Your Approximate Location  
Press /> Tools > GPS > Position.  
When you make an emergency 911 call, the GPS  
feature of your phone begins to calculate 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.  
This displays the following information about the last  
time your location was calculated:  
The time (as Greenwich Mean Time) and date that  
the location was last calculated.  
The approximate location, expressed as latitude and  
longitude.  
The estimated accuracy of the calculated location.  
The number of satellites used to calculate the  
location. In general, more satellites make for better  
accuracy.  
In some cases, your local 911 emergency response  
center may not be equipped to receive GPS location  
114  
     
To calculate your location again:  
Press Refresh (left softkey).  
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.  
It may take your phone several minutes to complete the  
process of determining your location, during which the  
phone displays “Scanning For Satellites.”  
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.  
The Position screen displays the updated information.  
To cancel a location calculation before it is completed:  
Press Cancel (right softkey) to return to the Position  
screen or press @to return to standby mode.  
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.  
Each time approximate location of your phone is  
calculated, the latest location information is stored in  
your phone. You will see this information the next time  
you view the Position screen.  
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.  
Enhancing GPS Performance  
Sometimes the GPS feature of your phone may be  
unable to complete a location calculation successfully.  
To improve accuracy and increase your chances of a  
successful calculation, do the following while your  
phone is determining your approximate location:  
Note: Although moving your phone at a walking pace  
decreases GPS performance, moving it at the speed of  
a moving car does not.  
115  
   
Stay in network coverage. The network will provide  
your phone with information that helps determine  
your location more quickly and accurately.  
Note: Because your phone is continuously determining your  
location, using the GPS feature of your phone with map  
software uses the phone’s battery power quickly.  
To connect your phone to your laptop or other device:  
Using GPS With Map Software  
1. Pull open the connector cover.  
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.  
2. With the phone’s display facing up, insert a  
micro-USB data cable into the charger connector.  
To do this, connect your phone to your laptop (or other  
device) with a data cable and set your phone to  
transmit data (see “To connect your phone to your  
laptop or other device:” on page 116). Your phone then  
provides your approximate location to the device  
running the map software, which displays your location  
on a map. Your phone provides an updated location  
every second and the map software displays your  
changing location on its map.  
3. Insert the data plug into the COM port of your  
laptop or other device.

Safety and Warranty  
Information  
Failure to read and follow the information provided in this  
phone guide may result in serious bodily injury, death, or  
property damage.  
S1. Important Safety  
Information  
General Precautions  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone  
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
To maximize performance, do not touch the bottom portion  
of your phone where the internal antenna is located while  
using the phone.  
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.  
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid  
spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the  
power off and remove the battery.  
Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended  
periods of time (such as on the dashboard of a car).  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of  
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting,  
bending, or sitting on it.  
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly  
approved in this document could void your warranty for this  
equipment and void your authority to operate this  
equipment.  
154  
       
Note: For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel  
should service your phone and accessories. Failure to do  
so may be dangerous and void your warranty.  
Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local  
Sprint Store, or call Nextel at 1-866-866-7509.  
Following Safety Guidelines  
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access  
to Your Phone  
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any  
special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas  
where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or  
danger.  
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls  
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices  
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot  
guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should  
never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential  
communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls  
may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain  
network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check  
with your local service provider for details.  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio  
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless  
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic  
equipment.  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately  
shielded electronic operating systems or entertainment  
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their  
representative to determine if these systems are adequately  
shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the  
manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to  
your vehicle.  
Using Your Phone While Driving  
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone  
without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions.  
Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety  
always comes first.  
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices,  
such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are  
adequately shielded from external RF signals.  
Responsible driving practices can be found in “Smart Practices  
While Driving” on page 170 and/or at the Motorola website:  
www.motorola.com/callsmart.

When using your radio product as a traditional  
two-way radio, hold the radio product in a  
vertical position with the microphone one to  
two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the lips.  
Operational Precautions  
Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and  
request permission before using the phone near medical  
equipment.  
If you wear a radio product on your body when

Two-way Radio Operation  
For a list of approved Motorola accessories call 1-800-453-0920,  
or visit our website at www.motorola.com/phoneaccessories.  
Your radio product has been designed and tested to comply  
with national and international standards and guidelines  
regarding human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy,  
when operated in the two-way mode (at the face, or at the  
abdomen when using an audio accessory) at usage factors of  
up to 50% talk/50% listen.  
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying  
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent  
possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal  
Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have  
permission from a crew member to use your phone while  
the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference,  
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in  
the air.  
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time.  
To transmit (talk), push the PTT button. To receive calls, release  
the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time or less, is  
important because this radio generates measurable RF energy  
only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards  
compliance).  
156  
A choking hazard may exist for small, detachable parts.  
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
Improper use could result in loud sounds, possibly causing  
hearing injury.  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone  
off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs  
indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction  
crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.  
Improperly handled batteries could overheat and cause a  
burn.  
Do not allow children to play with your phone as they could  
hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls  
that increase your invoice.  
Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a  
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone  
and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an  
explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These  
areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:  
Glass Parts  
Some parts of your phone may be made of glass. This glass  
could break if the product is dropped on a hard surface or  
receives a substantial impact. If glass breaks, do not touch or  
attempt to remove. Stop using your phone until the glass is  
replaced by a qualified service center.  
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such  
as grain, dust, or metal powders.  
Seizures/Blackouts  
Any other area where you would normally be advised to  
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or  
blackouts when exposed to flashing lights, such as when  
playing video games. These may occur even if a person has  
never had a previous seizure or blackout.  
turn off your vehicle’s engine.  
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids,  
or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that  
contains your phone or accessories.  
If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a  
family history of such occurrences, please consult with your

symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of  
157  
awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation. It is  
always a good idea to hold the screen away from your eyes,  
leave the lights on in the room, take a 15-minute break every  
hour, and stop use if you are very tired.  
Repetitive Motion  
When you repetitively perform actions such as pressing keys or  
entering finger-written characters, you may experience  
occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or  
other parts of your body. If you continue to have discomfort  
during or after such use, stop use and see a physician.  
Caution About High Volume Usage  
Battery Use and Safety  
WARNING: Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended  
periods of time may affect your hearing. The louder  
the volume sound level, the less time is required

Using Your Phone With a Hearing  
Aid Device  
032374o  
Important safety information  
follows.  
A number of Nextel phones have been tested for hearing aid  
device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used  
with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and  
cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can  
interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.  
Do not dispose of your battery or  
phone in a fire.  
Your battery or phone may require  
recycling in accordance with local  
laws. Contact your local regulatory  
authorities for more information.  
032375o  
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this  
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of  
interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19  
was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring  
both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability  
rating categories for both.  
Do not throw your battery or  
phone in the trash.  
161  
     
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist  
hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with  
their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for  
compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been  
rated have a label with the rating(s) located on the box, and are  
listed at www.motorola.com/accessibility.  
your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable  
usability:  
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers  
excellent use.  
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.  
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending  
on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of  
hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to  
interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still  
cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying  
out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to  
evaluate it for your personal needs.  
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will  
have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.”This is  
synonymous for T ratings.  
Nextel further suggests you experiment with multiple phones  
(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to  
find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.  
Should you experience interference or find the quality of  
service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly  
return it to the store within 30 days of purchase. With the Sprint  
30-day Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return the phone within  
30 days of purchase for a full refund. More information about  
hearing aid compatibility may be found at:  
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements  
for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less  
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings.)  
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and  
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T  
Switch”or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing  
devices have telecoils in them.)

In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers  
(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined  
in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to  
165  
human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers  
and physicians from universities, government health agencies and  
industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the  
available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation.  
In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the  
existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the  
National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements  
(NCRP).

multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to  
reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless  
base station, the lower the power output.  
Specific Absorption Rate  
Your MOTOROLA BRUTE wireless phone meets the  
governmental requirements for exposure to radio waves.  
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the  
U.S. and Canada, it must be tested and certified to the FCC  
and Industry Canada that it does not exceed the limit  
established by each government for safe exposure. The tests  
are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and  
worn on the body) submitted to the FCC and available for  
review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this  
model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.59 W/kg, and  
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is  
0.86 W/kg. Body-worn measurements can differ, depending  
upon available accessories and regulatory requirements. The  
SAR information includes the Motorola testing protocol,  
assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty range  
for this product.  
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is  
designed and manufactured to not exceed limits for exposure  
to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government  
and by the Canadian regulatory authorities. These limits are  
part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted  
levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines  
are based on standards that were developed by independent  
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough  
evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a  
substantial safety margin designed for the safety of all persons,  
regardless of age or health, and to account for any variations in  
measurements.  
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a  
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate  
(SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC and by the Canadian  
regulatory authorities is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg),  
averaged over one gram of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted  
using procedures accepted by the FCC and by Industry  
Canada with the phone transmitting at its highest certified  
power level in all tested frequencies. Although the SAR is  
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR  
level of the phone while operating can be below the maximum  
value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at  
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of  
various phones and at various positions, they meet the  
governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note that  
improvements to this product model could cause differences in  
the SAR value for later products; in all cases, products are  
designed to be within the guidelines.  
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular  
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website:

Drive Safe, Call Smart SM  
Monitor access: Keep your phone with you and do not leave  
it where others may have unmonitored access. Lock your  
device’s keypad where this feature is available.  
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices  
and their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always  
obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or  
restricted in certain areas. Contact www.motorola.com/callsmart  
for more information.  
Keep software up to date: If Motorola or a software/  
application vendor releases a patch or software fix for your  
phone which updates the device’s security, install it as soon  
as possible.  
Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data—  
almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless service is  
available and safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving  
is your first responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile  
device while driving, remember the following tips:  
Erase before recycling: Delete personal information or data  
from your phone prior to disposing of it or turning it in for  
recycling. For step-by-step instructions on how to delete all  
personal information from your device, please contact your  
local service provider.  
Get to know your Motorola phone and its features such as  
speed dial and redial. If available, these features help you to  
place your call without taking your attention off the road.  
Understanding AGPS: In order to comply with emergency  
caller location requirements of the FCC, certain Motorola  
phones incorporate Assisted Global Positioning System  
(AGPS) technology. AGPS technology also can be used in  
non-emergency applications to track and monitor a user’s  
location, for example, to provide driving directions. Users  
who prefer not to permit such tracking and monitoring  
should avoid using such applications.  
When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add an  
additional layer of convenience to your phone with one of the  
many Motorola Original hands-free accessories available  
today.  
170  
   
Position your phone within easy reach. Be able to access  
your phone without removing your eyes from the road. If you  
receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible,  
let your voice mail answer it for you.  
Use your phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an  
auto accident, crime in progress, or other serious emergency  
where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency  
number, as you would want others to do for you.*  
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if  
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous  
weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy  
traffic can be hazardous.  
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency  
wireless assistance number when necessary. If you see a  
broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken  
traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears  
injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside  
assistance or other special non-emergency wireless  
number.*  
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.  
Jotting down a “to do” list or going through your address  
book takes attention away from your primary responsibility,  
driving safely.  
* Wherever wireless phone service is available  
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls  
when your car is not moving or before pulling into traffic. If  
you must make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers,  
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.  
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that  
may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware  
you are driving and suspend conversations that can divert  
your attention away from the road.  
Use your phone to call for help. Dial 911 or other local  
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or  
medical emergencies.*
