Removing the Battery

1 With your 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.

• The battery capacity is degraded if the battery is

stored for long periods while fully charged. If

long term storage is required, store at half

capacity.

Inserting and Removing Your SIM

Important: Do not touch the gold-colored areas of

your SIM card.

The SIM card is designed for optimal Contacts

storage and feature use. For Boost Mobile

SIM

card compatibility information, visit

Note: In some cases, Contacts may not be

accessible if you move your SIM card to

another phone. Contacts created with

your i455 phone are not readable by an

older iDEN SIM-based phone.

If you remove your SIM card and use it with

another phone, or use another SIM card with your

phone, the following information is erased:

• The recent calls list

• Call forwarding settings

• Net alerts
