Bluetooth devices create seamless voice and data connections with other Bluetooth devices, such as another Bluetooth phone, a Bluetooth pen, headset, or desktop adaptor. These connections are made wirelessly. Tip: For optimum performance, the headset should be worn on the same side of your body as the phone.
Bluetooth devices are listed by their Bluetooth addresses unless you name them. Your i615 phone comes with a default device name of “Motorola Phone”. Renaming your i615 phone with a unique device name makes it easier for you to distinguish your phone from other Bluetooth devices.

GPS Enabled Your phone’s GPS Enabled feature uses information from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate geographical location of your phone, expressed as latitude and longitude. The availability and accuracy of this location information (and the amount of time that it takes to calculate it) will vary depending on the environment in which you are using the GPS feature.
• When your GPS antenna is covered (for example, by your hand or other object) or facing the ground • In temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your phone Walking or driving very slowly may also substantially reduce GPS performance. Even where location information can be calculated in such situations, it may take much longer to do so, and your location estimate may...
GPS Enabled 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.
• The number of satellites used to calculate the location. In general, more satellites make for better accuracy. To calculate your location again: Press A under Refresh. It may take your phone several minutes to complete the process of determining your location. During this time, a message usually appears on your phone’s display saying your phone is scanning for satellites.
Page 138
GPS Enabled To improve accuracy and increase your chances of a successful calculation, do the following while your phone is determining your approximate location: • Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where there is nothing between your phone and a large amount of open sky.
• 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. • 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.
GPS Enabled Setting Privacy Options Your phone’s GPS privacy options control whether Java applications on your phone or other software applications may view the location of your phone.You may set your phone to one of these GPS privacy options.

Hearing Aid Compatibility Hearing Aid Compatibility When some mobile 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. Some hearing devices are more “immune” than others to this interference noise, and mobile phones can also vary in the amount of interference noise they may generate at any given time.
Page 179
Be sure to evaluate your personal needs by trying out this mobile phone with your specific hearing device, using both antenna positions if equipped with a retractable antenna. More information about hearing aid compatibility may be found at: http://commerce.motorola.com/consumer/QWhtml/ accessibility/default.html, www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov, and www.accesswireless.org.
