Start MOTOBLUR
When you first turn on your phone, you 
need to create or log into your 
MOTOBLUR account. MOTOBLUR syncs 
your contacts, posts, feeds, messages, 
emails, and photos from your other accounts. 
Registration is secure and should only take a few 
minutes:
1. Press and hold Power
  
 on top of your phone to 
turn it on.
2. Select a language.
3. Log in or register: Enter your name, your current 
email address (where MOTOBLUR can send 
account information), and a new MOTOBLUR 
account password.
4. To add an account to MOTOBLUR, touch the 
account type, then enter the account’s user name 
(or email) and password.
5. When you’re done, touch Done adding 
accounts.
Tip: To see the accounts you added, touch Menu
> Settings > Accounts.
If your contacts don’t import within an hour, see 
“Transfer contacts” on page 15.
 
Your MOTOBLUR Account
Only MOTOBLUR syncs your contacts, posts, feeds, 
messages, emails, photos and much more—from 
sources like Facebook®, Twitter, MySpace, your work 
email, Picasa™, Photobucket®—and automatically 
serves it up just the way you want it. No opening and 
closing apps and menus, it’s all front and center on 
your home screen and integrated throughout the 
entire phone so you can communicate any way you 
like.
You can log into your MOTOBLUR account from a 
computer to upload contacts, reset your password, 
get help, or even locate your phone: 
www.motorola.com/mymotoblur
Security
Your contacts are backed up on MOTOBLUR, so don’t 
worry. Even if you lose your phone, MOTOBLUR can 
help you find it or wipe it. When you get your next 
MOTOBLUR product, your stored info makes it a snap 
to set up with just a username and password.
Of course it doesn't stop there. There are plenty of 
ways to protect your phone and your information, 
in “Security” on page 39.
