Nokia 636 Cellular Telephone
(170-1091) Operation Faxback Doc. # 37154

Signal Strength Indication

Your phone sends and receives radio signals. As with all radio equipment,
the quality of radio reception depends on the strength of the radio signal
in the area where you are operating your cellular phone.

The strength of the cellular signal is shown by the vertical bar to the
left of the S indicator on the left-hand side of the display. The higher
the bar, the stronger the signal is at the location where you are operating
your phone.

When the NO SVC indicator is displayed the phone is outside of the cellular
service area and calls cannot be made or received.

If the signal is poor and you are using the phone in a building, it may be
beneficial to move near a window for better reception.

GENERAL FUNCTIONS

Switching On

If your phone has an extendible antenna, extend the antenna fully.

As with any other radio transmitting device, avoid unnecessary contact with
the antenna when the phone is switched on.

1. Press and hold the PWR key for half a second.

The phone will carry out a short self-test briefly displaying its activated
phone number. The phone is ready for use when the indicators ON, S and B
are displayed.

Switching Off

1. Press and hold the PWR key for a second.

Making a Call

1. Enter the area code and the desired phone number.

If you make a mistake, you can delete digits one by one by pressing the CLR
key repeatedly or you can clear all displayed digits by pressing and holding
the CLR key.

2. Press the SEND key to dial the phone number. The IN USE indicator and
the dialed phone number will appear on the display. When the phone
number disappears, the call is connected. Wait for an answer, then
speak.

The text NO SERVICE appears and an error tone is given if you are
attempting to make a call when your phone is outside of the cellular
service area.

The text LOCKED appears if you try to make a call and your phone is
locked. (See the function "LOCK" phone on Faxback Doc. # 37153).

The text KEYGUARD ACTIVE appears if the keyguard feature is activated.
(See the section "Keyguard" below.)

3. End the call by pressing the END key.

NOTE: If you press and hold the END key for a second, the keyguard
feature is activated.

Receiving a Call

When there is an incoming call, the phone will give a ringing tone and the
CALL message will flash on the display.

If you have selected the option SILENT SERVICE under the menu function
Ringing Volume (Menu 9), the keypad and display lights will flash, the CALL
message will flash on the display and only a short beep tone will be given.

You can answer a call any time, even while using the memory or menu
functions.

To answer a call:

1. Press the SEND key or any key except PWR and lift the phone to your ear.

NOTE: If the Keyguard is activated, a call can only be answered by
pressing the SEND key.

2. To end a call, press the END key.

If you don't answer a call, the message 1 CALL MISSED or NN CALLS MISSED
will remain on the display until you press any key (except PWR) to clear
the display.

Adjusting the Earpiece Volume

The volume of the earpiece can be controlled by scrolling the /\ \/ key
during a call when the display is clear. Press /\ to increase and \/ to
decrease the volume level.

NOTE: This key acts as a scrolling key for the memory and the menu func-
tions when not in a call.

Last Number Redial

The last five phone numbers you called or attempted to call (and associated
names if entered) are stored in the phone's memory location 0 (LO-L4). This
stack of the five last dialed numbers remains in the phone's memory when the
phone is switched off.

To redial a last number dialed:

1. If there are any characters on the display, clear the display by press-
ing and holding the CLR key.

2. Press the SEND key to display the last dialed number. Use the /\ \/ key
to scroll through the last dialed numbers. To view the associated names,
if entered in the phone directory memory, first press the ABC key and
then start scrolling by using the /\ \/ key. The location number is
displayed in the upper right corner of the display (LO-L4).

If the stack of the last numbers is empty, the message LOCATION EMPTY will
be displayed.

3. To make a call to the displayed number or name, press the SEND key.

See also the section Last Dialed Memory Location.

Speed Dialing

Speed dialing is a handy way to call frequently-used phone numbers stored
in the phone directory memory locations. (To store phone numbers, see the
section Storing Names and Phone Numbers.)

1. Enter the number of the memory location where you have stored the
desired phone number.

2. Press the SEND key.

The phone will recall the telephone number from the specified memory
location, display it briefly, and then dial it.

If the memory location is empty, the message LOCATION EMPTY will be
displayed.

9 Key Emergency Dialing

If the one-touch emergency dialing feature is activated under the menu
function Emergency Key 9 (EMERG. 9 ON), you can make an emergency call by
pressing and holding the 9 key for 1.5 seconds. The phone dials the prepro-grammed emergency number and the message EMERG. CALL TRY is displayed.

The phone dials the emergency number preprogrammed into your phone by your
cellular service provider. If more than one emergency number is programmed
into your phone only one number is used for the one-touch emergency dialing,
which, however, may not be the proper number in all circumstances. The
official emergency numbers vary by location (e.g. 911 or other official
emergency number). Check with your local service provider for the emergency
number(s) programmed into your phone.

The one-touch 9 key Emergency Dialing operates even if your phone is LOCKED.

NOTE: The 9 key Emergency Dialing does not operate when the keyguard
feature is active. However, an emergency call can be made without
deactivating the keyguard by entering the whole emergency number and
then pressing the SEND key.

Keyguard

The phone's keypad may be locked to prevent unintended keypresses from
being made when the phone is for example, in a pocket or a bag. No security
code is required to activate or deactivate this keyguard feature.

To activate or deactivate keyguard feature:

1. Press the MENU key and then the * key. You can also activate the key-
guard by pressing and holding the END key for a second. This is a
convenient way to activate the keyguard when you end a call.

When keyguard is activated, the message KEYGUARD ACTIVE is displayed.
When a key is pressed, the phone first prompts you to press the MENU
key (PRESS MENU) and then the * key to deactivate the keyguard feature
(NOW PRESS *). The message KEYGUARD OFF is briefly displayed indicating
that the keyguard feature has now been deactivated.

When Keyguard feature is activated:

To answer a call, press the SEND key. During the call, the keypad remains
unlocked and the phone can be operated in the normal way.

To end a call, press the END key. After the call is ended, the keyguard
automatically becomes active again.

The phone can not be switched off before the keyguard is deactivated.

NOTE: When the keyguard is activated, you can only make calls to the emer-
gency number programmed into your phone (e.g. 911 or other official
emergency number). However, one key emergency dialing ('the 9 key')
does not operate.

To make an emergency call when keyguard is activated:

Enter the emergency number and press the SEND key. The emergency number is
displayed only after you have entered the last digit of the number. The
phone dials the emergency number and the message EMERG. CALL TRY is dis-
played.

Calling Card Call

When making a call, the call charges can be directed to a selected calling
card company, if the card number is sent to the network during the call
setup. Before making an automatic calling card call, you have to activate
the calling card feature in the menu function CALLING CARD.

To make an automatic calling card call:

1. Enter the desired area code and phone number and press and hold the
SEND key for more than one second.

NOTE: If no calling card is activated, the phone will make a normal
call to the phone number entered.

The message CARD CALL remains on the display until the access number has
been sent to the network. The phone asks you to wait for a dial tone (WAIT
FOR PROMPT).

2. After the tone, press the SEND key. The phone now sends the phone
number to the network and the message CARD CALL remains on the display
until the transmission is completed. The phone then prompts you to
wait for another dial tone.

3. After the tone, press the SEND key once again. The phone now sends the
card number to the network and the message CARD CALL remains on the
display until the transmission is completed and the phone returns to
the normal call mode.

NOTE: If the calling card option AT&T is activated, the phone number
is sent to the network after pressing and holding the SEND key,
and the card number is sent to the network after the first dial
tone.

NOTE: In the option AT&T10, the AT&T access number is preprogrammed
into your phone and if the option is activated, the access,
phone and card number is sent to the network after pressing and
holding the SEND key.

For further information on the calling card call options, contact the
appropriate calling card company.
