The phone must be turned on before you can make or answer calls.
To turn on the phone, hold down POWER until the phone beeps. The
phone performs a short self-test, then it briefly displays the
activated phone number. The phone is ready to use when the signal
strength and battery charge bars appear.
To turn off the phone, hold down POWER until the phone beeps.
MAKING A CALL
1. Use the number keys to enter the phone number you want to dial.
Include the area code, if necessary.
NOTE: If you make a mistake, repeatedly press CLEAR to delete digits
one at a time, or hold down CLEAR to clear all digits.
2. Press SEND to dial the phone number. The phone displays IN USE and
the phone number you dialed.
If PIN code dialing is set to ON, the phone displays PIN CALL then WAIT FOR
PROMPT. Press SEND again after you hear the tone to send your PIN code and
complete the call.
NOTES: NO SVC (no service) appears if you are outside the cellular
service area.
NOT ALLOWED briefly appears if you try to make a restricted
call.
3. To end the call, press SEND.
Signal Strength
The vertical bar on the left of the display shows the strength of the
cellular signal your phone is receiving. The higher the bar, the stronger
the signal.
If the signal strength is low, try moving to a different location. If
you are using the phone in a building, try moving closer to a window.
If NO SVC appears, the phone is outside the cellular service area. This
means you cannot make or receive calls until you move the phone back
inside the cellular service area.
RECEIVING A CALL
When the phone receives an incoming call, it rings and flashes CALL.
To answer a call, press any key except POWER. To end the call, press
END.
NOTES: If you selected silent service, the phone does not ring. Instead,
the keypad and display backlights flash, CALL flashes on the
display, and the phone beeps.
If keyguard is set to ON, you can answer a call only by pressing
SEND.
If you do not answer a call, the phone displays NN CALL MISSED (where NN
is the number of calls) until you press any key (except POWER).
ADJUSTING THE VOLUME
To increase or decrease the earpiece volume during a call, press UP ARROW
(to increase) or DOWN ARROW (to decrease).
The phone displays VOLUME and a horizontal bar indicating the volume
level. The more filled bar segments, the higher the volume.
MAKING EMERGENCY CALLS
We program your primary local emergency number (such as 911) into your
phone at the time of activation. To prevent unwanted emergency calls,
however, your phone's one-touch emergency dialing feature is preset to
off.
To quickly dial the emergency number (if one-touch emergency dialing is
set to on), hold down 9 WXYZ until the phone displays EMERG. CALL TRY.
NOTES: The emergency number programmed into your phone might not be valid
in all areas. (For example, not all areas have 911 service.)
If you use the phone outside its primary service area, you might
have to manually dial an emergency number that is different
from the one programmed into your phone.
One-touch emergency dialing does not operate if keyguard is turned
on or if one-touch emergency dialing is turned off.
IMPORTANT: When you make an emergency call, give your name and cellular
phone number, as well as the location of the incident
scene. Do not end the call until you are advised you may
do so.
LAST NUMBER REDIAL

1. Hold down CLEAR to clear the display (if necessary).
2. Press SEND. The phone displays the last number dialed.
3. To scroll through the last five numbers dialed, repeatedly press
UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW. As you press the key, the phone displays
the phone number and its corresponding redial memory number (L0-L4).
NOTE: If no number is stored in a redial memory, the phone displays
LOCATION EMPTY.
4. To dial a displayed number, press SEND again.
HINT: To quickly store one of the last five numbers you called into the
first empty speed-dial memory, recall that number, then hold down
OK for about 1 second.
USING MEMORY
STORING A NUMBER IN MEMORY
Your phone has 22 memory locations - 20 speed-dial and 2 one-touch (F1 and
F2). Each memory location can hold a phone number of up to 32 digits.
Follow these steps to store a phone number in memory.
NOTE: If you do not press a key for about 15 seconds during these steps,
the phone exits the memory mode and (depending on the step) clears
the display, turn off the backlight, or displays NOT STORED.
Start again from Step 1.
1. Hold down CLEAR to clear the display, then press MENU 1.
The phone prompts you to enter the phone number (NUMBER?).
2. Enter the area code (if necessary) and phone number, then press OK.
The phone suggests the first empty speed-dial memory (such as STORE
TO 5?) or, if memory if full, prompts you to enter a speed-dial
memory number (STORE TO?).
3. To store the number in the suggested speed-dial memory, press OK.
To store the number in a different memory, enter that memory's two-
digit number then press OK.
To store the number in one-touch priority memory 1 or 2, press F1
or F2.
The phone displays STORED.
NOTES: If you try to store to a memory number higher than 20, the phone
displays INVALID LOCATION and exits the memory function. Start
again at Step 1.
If the selected memory is full, the phone prompts you to replace
the contents (REPLACE CONTENT?).
To replace the contents, press OK. The phone displays STORED.
To exit the memory function without storing the number, press
CLEAR. The phone displays NOT STORED and the number you tried
to store. Store the number in a different memory or hold down
CLEAR to clear the display.
HINTS: Using Memory Location 1 - If one-touch dialing is set to on,
you can hold down 1 for about 1 second to quickly dial the number
stored in memory location 1. For convenience, store a frequency
called telephone number (such as your home or office number) in
this location.
Using Memory Location 20 - Setting the phone to use the call
restriction level INCOMING ONLY does not prevent you from
speed-dialing the number stored in memory location 20. If you plan
to use this call restriction level, store a frequently called
telephone number (such as your home number or some other "priority"
number) in memory location 20.
Using Quick Store
To quickly store a phone number in the first unused speed-dial memory,
enter the phone number, then hold down OK for about 1 second. The phone
briefly displays STORED and the speed-dial memory number it selected.
If all speed-dial memory locations are full, the phone briefly displays
NO SPACE, then the number you tried to store reappears. To store the
number, clear a memory location then try again.
ONE-TOUCH/SPEED DIALING
To dial the number stored in either one-touch priority memory (F1 or F2),
simply press that key.
To speed dial the number stored in Memory 1, hold down 1 for about 2
seconds.
To speed dial a number stored in any other memory, enter that memory's
number, then press SEND.
NOTE: If the selected memory is empty, the phone displays LOCATION
EMPTY.
MEMORY SCROLLING
To scroll forward or backward through all numbers stored in memory
(beginning with the first or last memory location), press DOWN ARROW
(forward) or UP ARROW (backward). The phone displays the stored phone
number and its corresponding memory number.
To begin scrolling from a specific memory number, first enter that number,
press DOWN ARROW or UP ARROW. If the selected memory is empty, the
phone displays LOCATION EMPTY, then it displays the next memory in
sequence.
To dial a displayed number, press SEND.
CLEARING A MEMORY
1. Hold down CLEAR to clear the display.
2. Press MENU 3 DEF.
The phone prompts you for the memory number (LOCATION?).
3. Enter the memory number or press the one-touch memory key (F1 or
F2) you want to clear, then press OK.
The phone displays ERASE? and the stored number. (If you selected
memory is empty, the phone displays LOCATION EMPTY.)
4. To clear the selected memory, press OK. The phone briefly displays
ERASED to confirm the operation, then it displays ERASE? and the
next stored number in memory sequence.
Repeat this step for each memory you want to clear.
NOTE: To exit without clearing the selected memory, press CLEAR.
The phone displays NOT ERASED.
5. When you finish, press CLEAR to exit.
USING SCRATCHPAD MEMORY
Your phone's scratchpad memory lets you temporarily store a phone number
during a call. This is useful, for example, when you don't have a pencil
and paper handy!
Follow these steps to store a number in the scratchpad memory.
1. Be sure the display is clear, then enter the number you want to store.
