Note: Your service provider programs one or more emergency phone numbers (such as 911 or 112) that you can call under any circumstances, even when your phone is locked. Emergency numbers vary by country. Your pre-programmed emergency number(s) may not work in all locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network, environmental, or interference issues.
- Touch 📄 Dialer. (If your phone is locked, touch Emergency Call.)
- Enter the emergency number (for example, 911).

Enhanced 911 (E911) Information
This phone features an embedded Global Positioning System (GPS) chip necessary for utilizing E911 emergency location services where available.
When you place an emergency 911 call, the GPS feature of your phone seeks information to calculate your approximate location. Depending on several variables, including availability and access to satellite signals, it may take up to 30 seconds or more to determine and report your approximate location.
Important: Always report your location to the 911 operator when placing an emergency call. Some designated emergency call takers, known as Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) may not be equipped to receive GPS location information from your phone.

Sprint Mobile Sync
Sprint Direct Connect offers instant, two-way push-to-talk (PTT) communication between you and your family, friends, and co-workers, all at the click of a button. Perfect for get-in/get-out conversations such as checking status, getting information, getting directions or coordinating with others—fast. And Call Alert sends a repeating alert to other Direct Connect subscribers to let them know you want to reach them.
Your Direct Connect Number
Your Direct Connect number may be the same as your phone number (for example, 555-555-1234) or it may be a separate number comprising three sets of digits separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111).
If you have a separate Direct Connect number, callers will have to enter the asterisks when placing a Direct Connect call.
To find your Direct Connect number:
▶ Touch 🧑 Dialer > 🖱 Contacts > Menu 📁 > More > My info. Your Direct Connect number will be listed.
Dial Direct Connect Numbers
- If the person you are calling has a separate number for Direct Connect, make sure you dial any asterisks (*) in the number. If you are saving the number in your Contacts, choose DC for the phone type.
- If the person you are calling has a single number for both voice calls and for Direct Connect, use that 10-digit phone number to make Direct Connect calls. You do not need to add any asterisks (*) to the number. If you are saving this number in your contacts, choose Mobile for the phone type.
Tip: Users with Nextel phones must add asterisks (*) between sets of numbers to dial Direct Connect numbers. Make sure to tell your contacts with Nextel phones to dial the 10-digit number using asterisks (*) in place of hyphens (for example, 555*555*1234). To easily ensure that your contact has your correct number, call them so that they can save your number.

Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it is compatible with digital cell phones. Your phone and TTY device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your phone's headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.
To turn TTY Mode on or off:
▶ Touch Menu 📁 > Settings > Call settings > TTY mode and select an option.
For additional information about Sprint Relay Services and TTY compatibility, call Sprint Relay Customer Service at 800-676-3777 or visit sprintrelay.com.
Warning: 911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.
Your phone warns you with a audible alert when the battery reaches 15% and 5% of its capacity. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone plays another alert and then turns off.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce the battery's talk and standby times.
Tip: Watch your phone's battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.
Installing the Battery
See Set Up Your Phone.
Removing the Battery
- Make sure the power is off so that you don't lose any stored numbers or messages.
- Remove the back cover by pulling up from the notch at the bottom, and then remove the battery from the phone.
Warning: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.
Charging the Battery
Keeping track of your battery's charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off, and you will lose any information you were just working on.
Always use a Sprint-approved or Motorola desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.
- Insert the small end of the USB cord into the charger/accessory jack on the left side of your phone.
- Insert the larger end of the USB cord into the AC adapter.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Exposure to RF Energy
Your mobile device contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your mobile device, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your mobile device transmits.
Your mobile device is designed to comply with local regulatory requirements in your country concerning exposure of human beings to RF energy.
RF Energy Operational Precautions
For optimal mobile device performance, and to be sure that human exposure to RF energy does not exceed the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always follow these instructions and precautions:
- When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your mobile device just like you would a landline phone.
- If you wear the mobile device on your body, always place the mobile device in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness. If you do not use a body-worn accessory supplied or approved by Motorola, keep the mobile device and its antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) from your body when transmitting.
- Using accessories not supplied or approved by Motorola may cause your mobile device to exceed RF energy exposure guidelines. For a list of Motorola-supplied or approved accessories, visit our website at: www.motorola.com.
RF Energy Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy interference from external sources if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for RF energy compatibility. In some circumstances, your mobile device may cause interference with other devices.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems
Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so.
In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult airline staff about using it in flight.
Implantable Medical Devices
If you have an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, consult your physician before using this mobile device.
Persons with implantable medical devices should observe the following precautions:
- ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than 20 centimeters (8 inches) from the implantable medical device when the mobile device is turned ON.
• DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket. - Use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential for interference.
- Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical device. If you have any questions about using your mobile device with your implantable medical device, consult your healthcare provider.
Specific Absorption Rate (IEEE)
YOUR MOBILE DEVICE MEETS FCC LIMITS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). These limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the FCC guidelines for your device model are listed below:
ESMR CDMA mode (Part 90):
Head: 0.93 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.67 W/kg
Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):
Head: 1.02 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.73 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 1.06 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.44 W/kg
During use, the actual SAR values for your device are usually well below the values stated. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the
operating power of your mobile device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out using an approved accessory or at a separation distance of 2.5 cm (1 inch). To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device should be in an approved accessory or positioned at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body. If you are not using an approved accessory, ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal and that it positions the phone at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They recommend that if you are interested in further reducing your exposure then you can easily do so by limiting your usage or simply using a hands-free kit to keep the device away from the head and body.
Additional information can be found at who.int/emf (World Health Organization) or motorola.com/rfhealth (Motorola Mobility, Inc.).

Location Services (GPS & AGPS)
The following information is applicable to Motorola mobile devices that provide location based (GPS and/or AGPS) functionality.
Your mobile device can use Global Positioning System (GPS) signals for location-based applications. GPS uses satellites controlled by the U.S. government that are subject to changes implemented in accordance with the Department of Defense policy and the Federal Radio Navigation Plan. These changes may affect the performance of location technology on your mobile device.
Your mobile device can also use Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS), which obtains information from the cellular network to improve GPS performance. AGPS uses your wireless service provider's network and therefore airtime, data charges, and/or additional charges may apply in accordance with your service plan. Contact your wireless service provider for details.
Your Location
Location-based information includes information that can be used to determine the approximate location of a mobile device. Mobile devices which are connected to a wireless network transmit location-based information. Devices enabled with GPS or AGPS technology also transmit location-based information. Additionally, if you use applications that require location-based information (e.g. driving directions), such applications transmit location-based information. This location-based information may be shared with third parties, including your wireless service provider, applications providers, Motorola, and other third parties providing services.
Emergency Calls
When you make an emergency call, the cellular network may activate the AGPS technology in your mobile device to tell the emergency responders your approximate location.
AGPS has limitations and might not work in your area. Therefore:
- Always tell the emergency responder your location to the best of your ability; and
- Remain on the phone for as long as the emergency responder instructs you.
Navigation
The following information is applicable to Motorola mobile devices that provide navigation features.
When using navigation features, note that mapping information, directions and other navigational data may contain inaccurate or incomplete data. In some countries, complete information may not be available. Therefore, you should visually confirm that the navigational instructions are consistent with what you see. All drivers should pay attention to road conditions, closures, traffic, and all other factors that may impact driving. Always obey posted road signs.
Smart Practices While Driving
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—for example, handsfree use only may be required. Go to motorola.com/callsmart (in English only) for more information.
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:
- Get to know your Motorola mobile device and its features such as speed dial, redial and voice dial. If available, these features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the road.
- When available, use a handsfree device. If possible, add an additional layer of convenience to your mobile device with one of the many Motorola Original handsfree accessories available today.
- Position your mobile device within easy reach. Be able to access your mobile device without removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it 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.
- 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.
- 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, and 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 mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies (wherever wireless phone service is available).
- Use your mobile device 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 (wherever wireless phone service is available), as you would want others to do for you.
- 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 (wherever wireless phone service is available).
Privacy & Data Security
Motorola understands that privacy and data security are important to everyone. Because some features of your mobile device may affect your privacy or data security, please follow these recommendations to enhance protection of your information:
- Monitor access—Keep your mobile device with you and do not leave it where others may have unmonitored access. Use your device's security and lock features, where available.
- Keep software up to date—If Motorola or a software/application vendor releases a patch or software fix for your mobile device that updates the device's security, install it as soon as possible.
- Secure Personal Information—Your mobile device can store personal information in various locations including your SIM card, memory card, and phone memory. Be sure to remove or clear all personal information before you recycle, return, or give away your device. You can also backup your personal data to transfer to a new device.
Note: For information on how to backup or wipe data from your mobile device, go to motorola.com/support.
- Online accounts—Some mobile devices provide a Motorola online account (such as MOTOBLUR). Go to your account for information on how to manage the account, and how to use security features such as remote wipe and device location (where available)
- Applications and updates—Choose your apps and updates carefully, and install from trusted sources only. Some apps can impact your phone's performance and/or have access to private information including account details, call data, location details and network resources.
- Wireless—For mobile devices with Wi-Fi features, only connect to trusted Wi-Fi networks. Also, when using your device as a hotspot (where available) use network security. These precautions will help prevent unauthorized access to your device.
- Location-based information—Location-based information includes information that can be used to determine the approximate location of a mobile device. Mobile phones which are connected to a wireless network transmit location-based information. Devices enabled with GPS or AGPS technology also transmit location-based information. Additionally, if you use applications that require location-based information (e.g. driving directions), such applications transmit location-based information. This location-based information may be shared with third parties, including your wireless service provider, applications providers, Motorola, and other third parties providing services.
- Other information your device may transmit—Your device may also transmit testing and other diagnostic (including location-based) information, and other non-personal information to Motorola or other third-party servers. This information is used to help improve products and services offered by Motorola.
If you have further questions regarding how the use of your mobile device may impact your privacy or data security, please contact Motorola at privacy@motorola.com, or contact your service provider.
Use & Care
To care for your Motorola mobile device, please observe the following:

Liquids
Don't expose your mobile device to water, rain, extreme humidity, sweat, or other liquids. If it does get wet, don't try to accelerate drying with the use of an oven or dryer, as this may damage the mobile device.

Extreme Heat or Cold
Don't store or use your mobile device in temperatures below -10^ (14°F) or above 60^ (140°F). Don't recharge your mobile device in temperatures below 0^ (32°F) or above 45^ (113°F).

Microwaves
Don't try to dry your mobile device in a microwave oven.

Dust and Dirt
Don't expose your mobile device to dust, dirt, sand, food, or other inappropriate materials.

Cleaning Solutions
To clean your mobile device, use only a dry soft cloth. Don't use alcohol or other cleaning solutions.

Shock and Vibration
Don't drop your mobile device.

Protection
To help protect your mobile device, always make sure that the battery compartment and any connector covers are closed and secure.
Recycling
Mobile Devices & Accessories
Please do not dispose of mobile devices or electrical accessories (such as chargers, headsets, or batteries) with your household waste, or in a fire. These items should be disposed of in accordance with the national collection and recycling schemes operated by your local or regional authority.

Alternatively, you may return unwanted mobile devices and electrical accessories to any Motorola Approved Service Center in your region. Details of Motorola approved national recycling schemes, and further information on Motorola recycling activities can be found at: www.motorola.com/recycling
Packaging & Product Guides
Product packaging and product guides should only be disposed of in accordance with national collection and recycling requirements. Please contact your regional authorities for more details.
California Perchlorate Label
Some mobile phones use an internal, permanent backup battery on the printed circuit board that may contain very small amounts of perchlorate. In such cases, California law requires the following label:
Perchlorate Material – special handling may apply when the battery is recycled or disposed of.
See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate
There is no special handling required by consumers.
Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones
Some Motorola phones are measured for compatibility with hearing aids. If the box for your particular model has “Rated for Hearing Aids” printed on it, the following explanation applies.
When some mobile phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label on the box. To maintain the published Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) rating for this mobile phone, use only the original equipment battery model.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Contact your service provider or Motorola for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, contact your service provider or phone retailer.
Your MOTOROLA ADMIRAL has an M4, T3 rating.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. 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.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from mobile phones.
