-====== Mobile Application User Guide - Procedures for Motorola Phones on Nextel ====== 
  
-===== Packet Data ===== 
-Each phone must have the proper Nextel service plan in order to use the Ranger Mobile Application. ​ Specifically,​ the phone must be setup with “packet data with public IP.” 
- 
-"​Packet data" is the service that allows connections from the phone to the Internet.  ​ 
- 
-Some phones might not “see” the packet data service unless the Name and Lines fields are filled out on the My Info screen. To check for this issue: ​ 
-  - On the phone, press the “red hangup” button until you get to the home screen of the phone. 
-  - Press the Menu key. 
-  - Scroll to “My Info” and press the OK key. Note that My Info might be on Page 2, and if so, you need to press More to see it. 
-  - Scroll to the "​Name"​ field. ​ If it is blank, enter your name in it. 
-  - Scroll to the "​Line1"​ field. ​ If it is blank, enter your phone number in it. 
-  - Scroll to the "​Line2"​ field. ​ If it is blank, enter your phone number in it. 
- 
- 
-===== IP Address ===== 
-Each phone must have the proper Nextel service plan in order to use the Ranger Mobile Application. ​ Specifically,​ the phone must be setup with “packet data with public IP.” 
- 
-"​Public IP" is the service that allows an Internet-based service, such as Ranger, to push data to the phone. 
- 
-To determine the IP Address of a phone: 
-  - On the phone, press the “red hangup” button until you get to the home screen of the phone. 
-  - Press the Menu key. 
-  - Scroll to “My Info” and press the OK key. Note that My Info might be on Page 2, and if so, you need to press More to see it. 
-  - Scroll down to the Carrier IP section. The Carrier IP is the IP Address of the phone. 
- 
-If the IP Address starts with “10.” or "​192.168.",​ the phone has a Private IP.  Call Nextel to update your service plan.  Ask them for "​packet data with public IP." 
- 
-If the IP begins with something else, you have a Public IP. 
- 
- 
-===== Master Reset ===== 
-A Master Reset forces a Nextel phone to refresh it's network settings. ​ This is useful whenever Nextel has reconfigured your phone, particulary when you've switched from a Private IP (the default) to a Public IP (required by Ranger Mobile Application). 
- 
-To perform a Master Reset: 
-  - On the phone, press the "red hangup"​ button twice to return to home screen of the phone. 
-  - Press the Menu key. 
-  - Scroll to Settings and press OK key.  Note that Settings might be on Page 2, and if so, you need to press More to see it. 
-  - Scroll to Advanced and press the OK key. 
-  - Scroll to Connectivity and press the OK key. 
-  - Scroll to Master Reset and press the OK key. 
-  - Enter "​000000"​ (six zeroes) for the Security Code and choose OK. 
-  - Press YES to confirm. 
-  - Press the OK key if warned to "see manual"​. ​ The phone will turn itself off.  
-  - Wait 60 seconds, then turn the phone back on.  The phone will power up. 
-  - If the phone prompts to "​update your browser info," choose OK.
