Basic Functions
Switching On or Off
Press and hold the PWR key for one second.
NORMAL POSITION:
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION:
Extend your antenna fully when in calls. As with any other radio
transmitting device, avoid unnecessary contact with the antenna when
the phone is switched on. Contact with the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than
otherwise needed.
WARNING: Do not switch the phone on when cellular phone use is prohibited
or when it may cause interference or danger.
Wake-up Message
When you switch your phone on, the phone displays the phone number
currently selected for your phone, or the name of the dealer if this has
been programmed. The dealer name takes precedence over the phone number
if programmed.
Note: This is different from the Reminder Message you can store in your
phone. See "Reminder Message" in Faxback Doc. # 47270.
Selecting a Network
Your phone operates on specific networks and sometimes it must choose
which system to use. This can happen, for example, if you are roaming
(i.e. you leave the area where you have signed up for service).
If you want your phone to work only in certain types of networks (for
example, to take advantage of certain billing agreements between systems),
you can specify this using "Carrier Selection (Menu 5 2 1)". See Faxback
Doc. # 47270.
Making a Call
1) Extend the phone's antenna fully.
2) Enter the area code and phone number, then press SEND. If you make a
mistake, press CLR to erase digits one by one. Press and hold CLR to
clear the whole display.
A phone symbol appears on the display. The call is connected when the
phone number disappears from the display and CALL appears.
For international calls, you can enter a '+' at the beginning of a number
by pressing **. Then enter the number, then press SEND. The '+' expands
to the international dialing code prefix.
NO SERVICE appears and the phone beeps if you try to make a call when your
phone is outside the cellular service area.
CALL NOT ALLOWED appears if you try to make a call that is restricted (see
"Allowed Calls (Menu 5 2 2) in Faxback Doc. # 47270), or if the phone is
locked.
If you receive a call when you're trying to make a call, the incoming call
comes through and the outgoing call is canceled.
Ending a Call
Press END.
Note: If you press and hold END, you'll activate Keyguard (see "Keyguard"
below).
Answering a Call
Press SEND or any key except END or the PWR key.
To answer a waiting call (normally indicated by a beep), press SEND.
(Note that Call Waiting is a network feature. You need to subscribe
to it through your service provider.)
You can press END to stop the ringing sound without answering the call.
Make sure the antenna is fully extended during the call.
Note: If Keyguard is active, a call can only be answered with SEND.
When there is an incoming call, the phone rings and CALL flashes on the
display.
If you have set Ringing Options to SILENT, the keypad and display lights
flash, CALL flashes on the display and the phone makes a short beep (see
"Ringing Options" in Faxback Doc. # 47263).
You can answer a call any time, even while using Keyguard, memory or menu
functions.
If you don't answer a call, the message 1 MISSED CALL or 'n' MISSED CALLS
appears on the display and remains until you press a key (except the PWR
key) to clear the display.
Adjusting the Earpiece Volume
During a call, press (\/) or (/\) to decrease or increase the earpiece
volume level.
Last Number Redial
Clear the display, then press SEND SEND.
Last 10 Dialed Calls
Clear the display, press SEND, then (\/). Press (\/) repeatedly until
you see the number you want. Then press SEND to dial it.
See "Dialed Calls (Menu 2 1)" in Faxback Doc. # 47263 for more information
Speed Dialing
Dial the number of the memory location (1-99) where the phone number
is stored, then press SEND.
You can also enter a stored name then press SEND. The phone dials the
number stored with that name.
If the memory location is empty, the message LOCATION EMPTY appears.
1-Touch Dialing
If 1-Touch Dialing is set to ON, you can dial the phone number stored in
any of the memory locations 1-8 by pressing a single key:
Hold the required number key (1-8) for 2 seconds.
Note: Location 1 is recommended to be used as the Voice Mailbox Number.
Location 9 cannot be used for 1-Touch Dialing to any number other
than the preprogrammed emergency number.
See "1-Touch Dialing (Menu 3 6)" in Faxback Doc. # 47263.
Emergency 9 Dialing
The 9 Key is reserved for an Emergency Number that is programmed into your
phone by your dealer.
Press and hold 9 for 2 seconds.
Emergency 9 Dialing must be set On for this to work! See "Emergency 9
Dialing (Menu 3 7)" in Faxback Doc. # 47263.
Note: Official emergency numbers vary by location (e.g. 911 or another
official emergency number). However, only one emergency number is
programmed into your phone to be dialed automatically by Emergency
9 Dialing, and this may not be the proper number in all
circumstances.
Note: Emergency 9 Dialing does not operate when Keyguard is activated.
However, an emergency call can be made without deactivating Keyguard
by entering the whole emergency number programmed into your phone
and then pressing SEND.
Keyguard
To activate Keyguard, press and hold END (or press MENU then *).
To deactivate Keyguard, press MENU then *.
Keyguard locks the keypad to prevent accidental keypresses (e.g. when the
phone is in a pocket or a bag). KEYGUARD ACTIVE remains (or reappears) on
the display until any key is pressed or Keyguard is deactivated.
Answering a Call with Keyguard Active
Press SEND.
During the call, the keypad remains unlocked and the phone can be used
normally. After the call is ended, Keyguard automatically becomes active
again.
The phone cannot be switched off when Keyguard is active. However, if the
phone is ringing and keyguard is active, you can press PWR to switch off
the phone while it is ringing.
Note: When Keyguard is activated, calls may be possible to the emergency
number programmed into your phone (e.g. 911 or another official
emergency number). However, Emergency 9 Dialing does not operate.
Making an Emergency Call with Keyguard Active
Enter the emergency number preprogrammed in your phone and press SEND.
The emergency number is displayed only after you have entered the last
digit of the number.
Calling Card Calls
If you use the phone's Calling Card storage feature (see "Calling Card
[Menu 5-1]" in Faxback Doc. # 47270), you can use the method described
below to charge long distance charges to a Calling Card. You won't need
to enter Calling Card information every time you want to make a card call.
Note: No physical credit cards are needed in order to direct the call
charges to the credit card; however you must first store and select
a Calling Card with Menu 5 1!
To make a Calling Card Call:
1) Enter the phone number of the party to be called.
2) Press and hold SEND for 2 seconds. The phone displays CARD CALL and
the selected card, then displays WAIT FOR TONE, THEN PRESS "OK".
3) When you hear a tone or voice prompt, press OK or SEND.
The phone may ask you again to WAIT FOR TONE, THEN PRESS "OK".
4) If you get another tone or voice prompt, press SEND again.
The call is then made, and the phone displays (CARD CALL and the name of
the card (if you have entered one).
It is also possible to make manual card calls by using Touch Tones (DTMF)
through your Calling Card Operator. To do this, see "In-Call Menu" in
Faxback Doc. # 47270, and "Sending Touch Tones" in Faxback Doc. # 47270.
You can make calling card calls in conjunction with PIN calls.
PIN Calls
PIN Call is a network security feature that requires a PIN Code every time
you make a call. You can activate or deactivate it and specify the numbers
in your PIN Code. Please check with your operator for the availability of
PIN Calling in your network.
Note: If you are using the phone in an area that doesn't require PIN
dialing, deactivate PIN Call.
Activating PIN Call
1) Enter * # 7 4 6 2 2 5 5 # (spells PINCALL).
2) The phone asks for your four-digit PIN Code, which is provided by your
network operator. Enter your PIN code and press OK. The phone briefly
displays PIN CALL ON.
Making PIN Calls
1) Make the call as usual (refer to "Making a Call" above).
The phone displays PIN CALL.
2) After you hear a tone, press SEND again.
The phone displays SENDING PIN . . .. If the message remains on the
display, press SEND again to resend the PIN code. Wait for your call
to be connected.
Note: If you're in a network that doesn't support PIN Calls, but your
phone has PIN Call On, the phone still tries to send a PIN. Press
CLR to end the PIN Call attempt.
Note: When the phone is set to PIN CALL ON, an emergency call to the
emergency number programmed into your phone (e.g., 911 or another
official emergency number) will be dialed as a normal call without
the PIN code request.
Deactivating PIN Call
Follow the steps in "Activating PIN Call", but don't enter your PIN
Code at the prompt; just press OK.
The phone briefly displays PIN CALL OFF.
Voice Messages
Please check with your operator for the availability of voice message
features. In order to use voice message features, the network must support
them, and you must subscribe to them.
We recommend that you store the network voicemail number in memory
location 1. You can then use the 1 key (which has the voicemail icon [O_O]
on it) for speed dialing the voicemail number.
THE PHONE BOOK
The Phone Book can store up to 125 phone numbers and corresponding names.
It also has a "notepad" where you can store one additional number and
name.
The maximum number of phone book entries depends on how much information
you store in each location. Stored phone numbers can be up to 32 digits
long, and stored names can be of up to 30 characters long.
See "Memory Location 125" below for an important note about Memory
Location 125.
Viewing and Entering Names
The ABC key is used to switch between displaying names and numbers.
To enter names, search for names, and view names, press ABC. The phone
displays ABC to indicate that "alpha mode" is selected; you can then use
keys to enter letters as well as numbers, and view the stored names rather
than numbers.
When a name is displayed, you can also press ABC to see the associated
number.
Entering Letters
1) Press ABC to select alpha mode. You can then enter letters by pressing
the keypad keys a certain number of times. See the table below.

The phone stores the number in the first empty memory location. The memory
location is shown in the display's upper right corner.
Identical names cannot be stored in memory. If you try to store a name
that is already stored, the phone displays SAVE IN LOCATION n? (with n
being the location currently containing the matching name). To confirm,
press OK. Then, the phone asks if you want to replace the entry. To do
this, at REPLACE? (followed by the name), press OK.
If you don't want to replace the contents, re-enter the information using
a slightly different name, then save again.
Note: You can also use Menu 1 to find, save, edit, and erase stored
entries. See "Phone Book (Menu 1)" in Faxback Doc. # 47263.
Memory Location 125
This is a special memory location. If you store a number in location 125,
you can make calls to that number even if the phone is locked. See "Lock
Phone (Menu 6)" in Faxback Doc. # 47270.
Special Characters in Stored Numbers
In stored numbers, you can include a 2.5 second pause ('p' character), a
wait ('w' character), or a link to another location ('+' character). This
allows the automatic sending of Touch Tones.
For more information on using these special characters see "Automatically
Sending Touch Tones" in Faxback Doc. # 47270.
To enter a Pause (p), press ***. Note that a 'p' appears on the
display, but this is different from just keying in the letter 'p'.
To enter a Wait (w), press ****.
To enter a link to another location, press **. A '+' sign will appear
on the display. A '+' in the middle of a string links to another
location.
Note: A '+' at the beginning of a number is used for international calls.
See "Making a Call" in Faxback Doc. # 47261 for more information.
Joining two locations for long Touch Tone strings:

4) Enter the location number (one or two digits) of the Touch Tone string
(from Step 1). Store the new contents (phone number, '+' and Touch
Tone location). When the phone displays SAVE IN LOCATION? enter the
location number from Step 2 and press OK.
For details on sending Touch Tones, see "Sending Touch Tones" in Faxback
Doc. # 47270.
Making a call using the two joined locations:
