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
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
www.boostmobile.com/cs_faqs_thesimcard.html.
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:
