CT-400 Handheld Cellular Phone
(170-1101) Operation Faxback Doc. # 46083
BASIC OPERATION
TURNING THE PHONE ON/OFF
Note: Extend the antenna fully. Avoid touching the antenna with the
phone turned on.
The phone must be turned on before you can make or answer calls. To turn
on the phone, hold down [PWR] (above and to the upper right of the
display) until the phone beeps. The phone performs a short self-test, then
it briefly displays the activated phone number (see "Selecting the Active
Phone Number" in Faxback Doc. # 46085). The phone is ready to use when
he signal strength and battery charge bars appear.
To turn off the phone, hold down [PWR] 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 [CLR] to delete digits
one at a time, or hold down [CLR] to clear all digits.
2. Press [SEND] to dial the phone number. The phone displays IN USE and
the phone number you dialed.
Notes: PIN CALL appears if PIN code dialing is set to ON (See "PIN
Code Dialing" in Faxback Doc. # 46086).
NO SVC (no service) appears and three beeps sound if you are
outside the cellular service area. See "Signal Strength"
below.
NOT ALLOWED briefly appears if you try to make a restricted
call (see "Selecting a Call Restriction Level" in Faxback
Doc. # 46084).
3. To end the call, press [END].
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 [PWR].
Notes: After the first ring, if you subscribe to calling line ID service
through your cellular carrier (see "Calling Line ID" in Faxback
Doc. # 46085), the phone automatically displays the calling party's
phone number. The phone will also display the caller's name if the
name and number are programmed into your phone (see "Storing a
Number and Name in Memory" in Faxback Doc. # 46087).
If you selected silent service (see "Ring Volume" in Faxback Doc.
# 46086), the phone does not ring. Instead, the keypad and display
backlights flash, CALL flashes on the display (or caller
information appears), and the phone beeps once.
If keyguard is set to ON (see "Turning Keyguard On/Off" in Faxback
Doc. # 46084), you can answer a call only by pressing [SEND].
To end the call, press [END]. To clear calling line ID information from
the display (if any), press [CLR].
If you do not answer a call, the phone displays NN CALLS MISSED (where NN
is the number of calls) until you press any key (except [PWR]). It also
stores the caller's number (if available) in the missed call register. See
"Using the Call Register" in Faxback Doc. # 46086.
HINT: To quickly store the displayed caller's number (if available) into
the first empty speed-dial memory, hold down [OK] for about 2
seconds (see "Using Number Quick Store" in Faxback Doc. # 46087).
ADJUSTING THE VOLUME
To increase or decrease the earpiece volume during a call, press [/\] (to
increase) or [\/] (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
The primary local emergency number (such as 911) is programmed 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 set it to ON see "Turning One-Touch Emergency Dialing On/Off" in
Faxback Doc. # 46086.
To quickly dial the emergency number, hold down [9] 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 if it is different from the
one programmed into your phone.
One-touch emergency dialing does not operate if keyguard is turned
on (see "Turning Keyguard On/Off" in Faxback Doc. # 46084) 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.
Remember that your phone might be the only means of
communication at the accident scene. Do not end the call
until you are advised you may do so.
LAST 10 NUMBER REDIAL
Follow these steps to view and dial the last 10 phone numbers called.
1. Hold down [CLR] to clear the display (if necessary).
2. Press [SEND]. The phone displays the last number dialed.
3. To scroll through the last 10 numbers dialed, repeatedly press [/\] or
[\/]. As you press the key, the phone displays the phone number and
its corresponding redial memory number (L0-L9)
Note: If no number is stored in a redial memory, the phone briefly
displays LOCATION EMPTY.
4. To dial a displayed number, press [SEND] again.
HINT: To quickly store one of the last 10 numbers you dialed into the
first empty speed-dial memory, recall that number, then hold down
[OK] for about 2 seconds, (see "Using Number Quick Store" in Faxback
Doc. # 46087).
