Motorola I580 Tips

The Motorola i580 phone is a rugged flip phone that includes Bluetooth, speakerphone and supports up to two phone lines. The Motorola i580 also has a camera, MicroSD slot to store data such as music, video and other files, and a 176-by-220 pixel display. The i580 also works as a long-range walkie-talkie and GPS, which is especially convenient for work sites and contractors.


Creating Shortcuts


The Motorola i580 allows you to create shortcuts for the functions you use most. The functions can be activated using the numeric keys on the keypad or by using voice commands. To create your own shortcuts, you will first need to navigate to the item you will be making a shortcut to. Once the item has been highlighted, hold down the "MENU" button until you get a confirmation screen. Press the "OK" button, then select "KEY" and press the number button you want to assign to the shortcut. If you want to create a voice shortcut, select "VOICE" and follow the on-screen prompts to say and repeat the word you wish to assign, then press "DONE." To use a shortcut button, press the "MENU" key followed by the shortcut number key. To use a voice shortcut, hold the "Walkie-Talkie On/Off" button on top of the phone and say the word into the microphone.


Profiles


If you frequently change a large number of settings on your phone depending on your environment, such as work or home, you can save groups of settings as profiles. In a profile, you can set the ring tones, wallpaper, auto answer, volume level and many other options. To create a profile, go to "PROFILES" from the main menu. Select "NEW PROFILE" and choose a name for the profile being created and press "OK." At this point, you can scroll through the options you wish to customize for the profile. To switch between profiles, select "PROFILESE2" from the main menu, scroll down the list of available profiles, and press "OK" once the desired profile has been selected.


Datebook


The Datebook feature on the Motorola i580 allows you to store up to 250 events, from birthdays to call reminders. You can store information about the event, including the time, date, location and phone number. To add an event to your Datebook, go to "DATEBOOK" from the main menu and press "OK." Next, select "NEW," and fill in the information you wish to store. You can also set a reminder prior to the event in the "REMINDER" section of the new Datebook entry, but keep in mind you must assign a start time for the event to utilize the reminder option.
