Insert and remove SIM and SD cards
About the SD card
Your phone supports a microSD card up to 512 GB.
The type to buy depends on how you'll format the card:
•
If the card is for portable storage (different devices can use card), a Class 2, 4, or 6 card is sufficient.
•
If the card is for internal storage (used by phone only), use a high speed card such as UHS-1 type for best
performance. Don’t use Class 2, 4, or 6 cards, which are much slower than your phone’s internal storage.
Learn more about storage formats.

Get apps
Your phone comes with many fun and useful apps, but you can really unlock its power by installing apps that suit
your lifestyle. Go to Play Store to explore free and paid apps that help you be more productive, organized,
informed, in touch, and entertained.
Protect your phone
You carry your phone around with you, and accidents happen; phones get lost sometimes. So set up some security
and prevent heartache if you and your phone become separated.
Set up a screen lock. This is your first line of defense in keeping your sensitive information safe. Prefer numbers,
shapes, words? Set up a PIN, pattern, or password required to unlock your phone. Learn how.
A screen lock doesn't prevent you from immediately answering a call or accessing your camera.
Display your owner info. On your lock screen, you can discreetly display a “please return” message with some of
your contact info so that, if your phone is lost, someone can to return it to you. Learn how.

Personalize your phone
While changing your wallpaper is probably your first customization, don't stop there. Be sure to explore your
Settings to set ringtones, font sizes, data usage preferences, keyboard preferences, and much more. It's a great
way to learn many of your phone's capabilities while customizing it to suit your needs.
In most apps you can touch or for app-specific settings. Be sure to see what options are available to you
there, too.
Manage cellular data
Understand your data usage. Keep an eye on your data usage and learn how to make the most of it. See which
apps use large amounts of data and adjust their settings. If your phone is using too much data, you can also stop
accounts from auto-syncing.
Use Wi-Fi to conserve cellular data. When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, your data will use that network
connection instead of your carrier's network, saving your cellular data for when you need it. Learn how to connect
to Wi-Fi networks.
Useful to know
Find phone info. To find your phone number, device name, and other information, go to Settings > System >
About phone.
Tell your phone what to do. Use your phone hands-free with voice commands. Tell it to navigate you, and listen
to it speak the directions to you as you drive--it'll even reroute you if you've gone off course. Tell it to set alarms,
find information on the web, make calls.
Never miss a photo opportunity. Automatically open the camera right from your lock screen. Just twist your
phone twice. Or, swipe left. You can automatically back up your photos and videos with your Google account
or with other photo sharing apps available from Play Store.
Store your stuff. You have several storage options. Store apps and content on your phone. For more storage
space, use an SD card for photos, videos, and music. You can open stored items in associated apps, like Photos to
see your photos and videos. For even more storage space, plus the ability to access your media and files from any
internet-connected device (phone, computer, tablet), use cloud storage. Your Google account includes free cloud
storage on Drive, which has its own app and is also available from the menu throughout other apps.
Wi-Fi hotspot. You can use your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot to share your internet connection with your other
devices that need internet access (for example, a laptop or tablet).
Reboot phone. In the unlikely event that your phone becomes unresponsive, frozen, shows a blank or black
screen, or doesn't respond to the Power button, you can reboot it. Press and hold the Power button for 7 - 10
seconds. The phone will restart normally.
Certain features, services, and applications are network or carrier dependent and may not be available in all areas.

Goodbye Apple App Store, hello Google Play Store. Play Store is now your default app store. Apps aren't
compatible between iPhone and Android. However, many developers make iPhone and Android versions of
their apps; if the app stores your data online, then you can switch with little effort. Just download the Android
version from Play Store and log in.
•
Keep on making video calls. Use the Duo app to make video calls with friends who have iPhones or Android
phones.
•
Continue listening to podcasts. You can listen with the Play Music app. Or, there are lots of podcast apps on
Play Store - search for “podcast” in Play Store and download one of your choice.
•
Install apps remotely. On a computer, visit play.google.com. Browse apps on the bigger screen and then install
them on your phone from your computer.
Your home screen:
•
On your old iPhone, your home screen was far left. Now, you start with one home screen and can add more
pages to the right as needed.
•
Your old phone showed all apps on your home screen. With your new phone, you can put shortcuts to your
most important apps on your home screen for easy access. Or, find your full list by swiping up from your
favorites tray. This frees up room on your home screen for widgets, making your new home much more lively.
•
In addition to apps, Android has widgets that stream information to you. For example, widgets can provide
weather updates or upcoming calendar events.
•
Like your old iPhone, you'll see notifications at the top of the screen, which you can swipe down to review. But
on your new phone, you can swipe them left or right to dismiss them.
Quick access to settings: On your old iPhone, to adjust settings you opened a Settings app. You can still do that.
But now you've also got quick settings. Swipe down from the top of the screen for easy access to toggles for
airplane mode, Wi-Fi, and other frequently-used settings.
In the cloud: Your Google account is your key to cloud storage with Google. If you migrated your contacts to your
phone, then you can see them from any device or computer by logging into Gmail. Your Google account includes
apps like Calendar and Drive that let you work well with others. And it has apps that let you play too - access your
photos, videos, music from any device when you log in with your Google account. Use Play Music to upload your
iTunes library.
About your Google account
Benefits of your account
When you set up your phone, you added a Google account. If you haven't had a Google account before, this is
more than just a password you set up for your phone.
A Google account lets you organize and access your personal information and files from any computer or mobile
device:
•
Synchronize everything. Never lose your contacts. Associate them with your Google account if you create
them on your phone, and view them from Gmail on any computer or by signing into your Google account on
any phone. Create emails or calendar events on your phone and view them on any computer. Access your
browser bookmarks from any device.
•
Store in the cloud. Upload your photos, videos, and music to the cloud; get to all of it without taking up space
on your phone.
•
Keep your stuff secure. Your account password secures it all and lets you access it from anywhere.

enjoy the benefits of your secure, synchronized information. However, you can:

Control how frequently your phone syncs your information.
•
Review and manage the information Google collects from you, such as search and browsing history.
Learn about Google apps
Many Google apps, like Gmail, Chrome, Photos, and Maps are pre-loaded on your phone. To learn about and
download additional Google apps, read Google’s information.

About text and multimedia messages
Text messages - SMS
SMS (Short Message Service) messages contain text only. One text message can contain 160 characters; when
you near the limit, a counter appears. If you type more, your message is sent in a series of SMS messages.
You can send one SMS message to multiple people, and replies are delivered in separate, not group, conversation
threads (unless you and your recipients have group messaging enabled).
SMS messages are included in most carriers' text messaging plans and do not use cellular data.
Multimedia messages - MMS
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) messages can include unlimited text plus a photo, picture slideshow, video,
or sound file.
You can send one MMS message to multiple people using group messaging, containing text only or text and
media, and replies are delivered in group conversation threads to each person in the group.
MMS messages use cellular data and require a cellular data plan or pay-per-use payment.
Group messaging
Group messaging lets multiple people carry on a group conversation. All replies from recipients are delivered to all
recipients, in a group conversation thread.
Though you send one message to multiple recipients, you are charged for each message received. Group
messaging:
•
Converts multiple-recipient SMS messages to MMS for all who can receive them
•
Is available for MMS messages only
Note: Recipients who cannot receive MMS messages receive SMS instead and, if media is attached, a link to
download it over Wi-Fi (when offered by carrier). Replies are to the sender only, in an individual conversation.
If you don’t want to receive replies in group conversations, you can turn off group messaging in the Messages app.

Charge phone
How to charge phone
Your phone is like a small computer, giving you tons of information and apps. Depending on what you use, that can
take a lot of power. Plan on charging the phone each night so it's ready for the next day.
1. Weaker chargers take longer to charge the phone, and if you use the phone while charging, may not charge it
at all.
2. Insert the plug into an electrical outlet.
When the phone is off and charging, you’ll see the outline of a battery and a percentage. If the battery is
completely discharged, this will not appear until the phone has received the minimum voltage required to boot.
When the phone is on and charging, you’ll see in the status bar.
Tips for charging phone
•
You can use your phone while charging. To charge faster, don't use your phone while charging.
•
If you can't turn the phone on while it's charging, wait until it receives enough voltage before turning it on.
•
When the battery gets low, the phone sends a notification.
•
Use Battery Saver mode when the battery is low.
•
You can turn off charging sounds.
Extend battery life
Choose settings that use less battery
To get the most life from your battery:
•
Connections: Turn off Bluetooth and GPS when you're not using them.
•
Wi‑Fi: Turn on Wi‑Fi when the phone is in a location with Wi‑Fi coverage.
•
Screen: Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.
•
Sync: If you don't need it, turn off automatic syncing for all accounts. This means you won't receive
notifications when updates occur and you'll need to manually sync to get new emails.
Temporarily conserve battery power
Use Battery Saver mode to keep going on a low battery.

Sync accounts and apps
About syncing
You can manage how apps connected to your accounts are synced on your phone. Keep them all automatically up
to date or just sync specific apps. You can also manually sync your data only when you need to.
The more you sync, the more battery your phone uses, so if you need to conserve, turn off sync for account
features or apps you find less important. If you want to reduce usage of mobile data, turn off auto-sync entirely and
instead sync accounts manually, or wait to sync manually over Wi-Fi.
Adjust auto-sync options for an account
1. Go to Settings > Accounts.
2. Touch the account name.
by the account name means that some or all of the account's information is configured to auto-sync.
by the account name means that the account will not auto-sync.
3. Touch Account sync.
4. Review the information and turn on/off types of account information to sync. For example, set your Google
account to sync your Calendar and Gmail but not to sync for Drive.
When you turn off sync, the information is not removed from your phone; it just is no longer kept in sync with the
version on the web.
Turn auto-sync off/on for all accounts
1. Go to Settings > Accounts.
2.
Turn Automatically sync data on or off .
To collect messages, email, calendar, or other app updates, you must sync the accounts manually.
Sync manually

Phone feels warm or hot
Overview
It's normal for your phone to feel warm, or even hot, depending on how you're using it.
If your phone ever becomes too hot, it will ask you to turn it off so it can cool down. Some phones will stay on but
limit the phone's capabilities until it cools down.
If your phone is too hot to touch, use a different phone, tablet, or computer to contact Motorola support.
Reasons your phone may get warm
Doing one or more of the following activities may cause your phone to get warm:
•
Playing videos, games, or other media apps
•
Using GPS navigation
•
Tethering your phone or using it as a Wi-Fi hotspot

Battery life varies
The way you use your phone can really affect how long you can go before recharging your battery. Navigating,
playing games, browsing the web, making calls and texting all require energy. So, your battery life may vary day to
day, depending on what you're doing.
If your battery is draining faster than expected
If your battery life seems shorter than usual, a quick and easy step is to reboot your phone, especially if you
haven't turned it off in longer than a week.
1. Press and hold the Power button.
2. Touch Restart.
3. Plug your phone in and charge it normally.
Tip: You can adjust settings to extend your battery life.

Fix a problem : App issues
177
•
Avoid zooming when taking a photo. Pixelation always occurs when you zoom a digital photo. If you use zoom
during the shot itself, pixelation will be more evident.
•
If you're indoors and taking a panoramic photo, switch to regular mode. Panorama works best for outdoor
shots; the algorithm that stitches the images together isn’t optimized for indoor, up-close shots.
Accidentally deleted photos
You can try to recover recently deleted photos.
If recovered, be sure to back up your photos to the cloud.
Can’t delete photo
If a photo or video you deleted comes back, check if it’s on your SD card. To delete it, use the Files app. (If you
don’t have this app, download a file manager app and use it to delete the photo from your card.)
Or, remove your card from the phone and use a computer to delete photos from the card.

getting the error. If so, replace the SD card with a new card. Make sure the new card is certified A1 and has a
fast write speed.
Error: Camera busy
This error can occur if you use the camera in one app and then switch to another app that requires permission to
access the camera.

Update Android software
For best performance, keep your phone updated with the latest available Android software.
Check Android version number
To check what version of Android your phone is running:
1. Go to Settings > System > About phone > Android version.
2. The number displayed is your phone's Android version.
Get Android software updates
Your phone notifies you if an Android software update is available.
To manually check for updates, go to Settings > System > Advanced > System updates.
If an upgrade is available, follow the onscreen instructions to install it.
Tip: To save data charges, use a Wi‑Fi connection to download software updates.
You can't downgrade to a previous software version after installing an update.
Timing for updates
There are two types of updates:
•
Security updates, which contain fixes and improvements from Google for your current version of the Android
operating system. Motorola provides these updates to most phones on a regular basis.
•
Android OS updates, which are new versions of the Android operating system. Motorola provides OS
updates from Google to eligible phones as soon as possible.
To see if an OS update will be available for your phone, or if your phone is still eligibley for security updates, see
the software update website for your country. Our support agents get their Android update information from here
too. If the website doesn't have a update release date for your phone, then we don’t know the release date yet.
For Android OS updates, with several phone models, regions, and distribution channels we may have hundreds of
software versions to test before releasing an update to your phone. Because dependencies on carriers and other
key partners for certifications, independent testing, and requests for changes take more time, all phone owners
don't receive updates at the same time, even in the same region.
Reset Wi-Fi, cellular data, and Bluetooth
If you're having problems with connections, review this information first:
•
Wi-Fi
•
Bluetooth
•
Cellular data
•

What a reset does
Resetting your phone erases all data and brings it back to out-of-the-box condition. This data will be erased from
the phone:
•
Google account
•
Media (music, photos, videos)
•
System settings and data
•
App settings and data (including text messages)

Make sure that any changes you made to contacts or calendar are synced to an account.
2. Make sure you have your security information:
•
The username for a Google account on your phone. (Settings > Accounts)
•
The password for that Google account. If you've forgotten the password, you can reset it. Wait 24 hours
before resetting the phone if you reset your password.
•
If you set a screen lock, make sure you know the PIN, pattern, or password.
To restore your data after resetting, you'll need to enter security information. This shows that you or someone
you trust did the reset and helps prevent others from using your phone without permission.
Reset phone from Settings
To erase all data and reset your phone:
1. Go to Settings > System > Backup.
2. If you’re resetting because you suspect a third-party app is causing problems, turn off Back up to Google
