The phone will carry out a short self-test sequence, then briefly
Display its number or name associated with the number (operator,
dealer name).

phone off.

area.

48, when the phone is locked.
Receiving A Call
1. When there is an incoming call, the phone rings and the CALL message
flashes on the display.
If the ringing tone has been switched off - the SILENT SERVICE feature
Has been selected for privacy or other reasons - the keypad and
display lights will flash instead and only one short "beep" will be
given. (See 'Setting The Ringing Volume' on Faxback Doc. # 35119).
2. Press SEND and lift the phone to your ear. (For your comfort do not
lift the phone to your ear before pressing SEND.)
3. When you have finished speaking, press END.
If you don't answer the call, the CALL message will remain on the display
(showing that someone has tried to phone you). Press any key to clear the
display.
Signal Strength
The quality of your call depends on the strength of the cellular signal in
your area. The phone displays current signal strength as a series of bars
on the left side of the display screen. The more bars the better the
signal.
If the signal is poor, try moving the phone slightly to improve reception.
If you are using the phone in a building, it may be necessary to move near
a window, or outdoors for better reception.
Volume Keys
The earpiece volume can be controlled by the volume key on the right side
of the phone.
Use the upper part of the key to increase and the lower part of the key to
decrease volume level. The volume level is shown on the display. VOLUME 1
indicates the lowest and VOLUME 5 the highest volume level. If you try to
increase or decrease the volume level over these values, an error "beep"
is given.
Last Number Redial
The last number dialed can re redialed automatically without re-entering
it. (The number can still be retrieved even if the phone has been switched
off and back on.)

automatically redialed.
Last number redial can also be used from the menu:
