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

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 
i
450 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
