the wake-up message. (This message is programmed by your dealer, but you
can change it. For further details see "Changing the Wake-Up Message", on
Faxback Doc. # 33446).
When the ON indicator appears, the phone is ready.

service area. You cannot make or receive calls.
Remember, to make or receive any calls, your phone must be turned on and in
service.
BASIC PHONE OPERATION
MAKING A CALL
1. For The best reception, pull the antenna up and fully extend it. Do
not leave the antenna partly extended.
2. Open the flip cover. Enter the number you want to dial. Remember to
include the area code, even if you are making a local call (if this is
necessary on your system). The phone displays the number.
NOTE: To correct a mistake, press CL to delete the last digit, or
press and hold CL to clear all digits.
3. Press SEND. The IN USE indicator appears on the display, and the
number disappears.
If the NO SERVICE message appears, you are outside the cellular
service area.
If the NOT ALLOWED message appears, the call is restricted
(see "Call Restricting" on Faxback Doc. # 33448), or your phone is
locked (see "Locking and Unlocking the Phone" on Faxback Doc. # 33448).
(You can make emergency calls even when call restricting is selected
or when the phone is locked.)
4. To end the call, press END, then close the flip cover.
RECEIVING A CALL
When you receive an incoming call, the phone rings and CALL flashes on the
display. Press any key except ON or the volume keys. If you receive a
call while you are entering a number the call is answered on the first
keypress after the ringing starts.
If the SILENT SERVICE option has been selected, the phone does not ring.
The display lights flash instead, and the phone sounds a short beep (see
"Ringing Volume" on Faxback Doc. # 33447).
If you do not answer a call, the CALL message remains on the display
(indicating a missed call). To clear the display, press any key.
To end the call, press END, then close the flip cover.
GENERAL OPERATION
ADJUSTING THE RECEIVER VOLUME
On the left side of the phone, press /\ to increase or \/ to decrease the
volume (to one of five levels).
After pressing either key, the phone displays the selected volume level,
VOLUME 1 indicates the lowest level, and VOLUME 5 indicates the highest.
The phone sounds a warning beep If you try to decrease the volume below
level 1 or increase it above level 5.
MAKING 911 EMERGENCY CALLS
There are two ways to make 911 emergency calls:
Either:
Enter the emergency number (i.e., enter 911), then press SEND. You can
use this method even if the phone is locked (see "Locking and Unlocking
the Phone" on Faxback Doc. # 33448) or if keyguard is active (see
"Emergency Number Key" on Faxback Doc. # 33448).
or:
Press and hold 9 for 2 seconds. You cannot use this method if keyguard is
active, or if this one-touch dialing function has been set to off (see
"Emergency Number Key" on Faxback Doc. # 33448).
The emergency number is programmed by your dealer. You cannot change this
number.
When making an emergency call, remember to give your name and cellular
phone number, as well as the location of the incident. Remember that your
phone might be the only means of communication to the scene of an accident;
do not end the call until given permission to do so.
LAST NUMBER REDIAL
The phone automatically stores the last five numbers you have tried to
call.
To call the number you last called:
Open the flip cover. Ensure the display is clear, then press SEND.
The number appears on the display (unless memory location 00, where the
last-called number is stored, is empty).
To call any of the other (four) last-dialed numbers:
1. Press O RCL.
2. Press /\ and \/ to scroll the numbers until the phone displays the
desired number.
3. Press SEND to call the displayed number.
USING THE PRIORITY NUMBER KEY
The P1 key lets you easily access your favorite number simply by pressing
the key once (without pressing SEND).
The favorite number feature uses the number stored in memory location 98.
See "Memory Dialing", on Faxback Doc. # 33446.
SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR
The signal strength indicator shows received signal strength. The more
bars showing, the stronger the signal.
If the signal is poor, try moving to a different position or extending the
antenna. If you are using the phone in a building, you might find that
reception is better near a window.
MEMORY DIALING
The memory dialing feature lets you store and recall up to 98 numbers.
Each stored number can include an associated name tag.
The memories are numbered 1 to 98. Each location can contain a national or
international phone number plus a name of up to 16 characters.
You can store a longer phone number (up to 30 digits), but the space for
the accompanying name is automatically shortened. The phone display tells
you if the name you are entering will not fit. See "Correcting Mistakes",
on Faxback Doc. # 33446.
In addition to locations 1 to 98, one scratchpad memory is provided
(location # #) which you can use to temporarily store a number and name
during a call.
NOTE: When using memory dialing, be sure to hold each key down for at
least two seconds.
Special memories:
Some memory locations are allocated for specific purposes:

Press STO a second time. The phone displays STORED confirming that the
number and name tag are stored.

number (for locations 1 to 9), press STO again to complete the operation.
When entering a two-digit number (for locations 10 to 98), the phone
displays STORED after you enter the second digit.

new entry.
or:
Press CL, or wait longer than 8 seconds until the message STORE NOT DONE
appears, to retain the existing information.
You cannot store the same name in different locations, even if the
associated numbers are different. If you try to store a name which already
exists, the phone selects that memory number to store into. If you specify
another location, the phone displays MOVE NAME?.
In this case either:
Press STO (within 8 seconds) to erase the location previously storing
the name tag and to store the name tag in the new location.
or:
Press CL, or wait longer than 8 seconds until the message STORE NOT DONE
appears, to retain the name tag in the previous location.

to clear the number and its name tag.
