# 47261.
Remember, to use the automated method of making calling card calls, you
must have entered all the necessary card details and selected the card
(using this menu). If only the details for one card are entered, there is
no need to use the Select feature. But, if you then add the details of
another card, the second card will automatically become the card in use.
Only one card can be active at a time.
You may enter a card name for each card, but this is optional. This name
is only used for card identification on the phone display, and has no
effect on the sending sequence. 'Card A' and 'Card B' will be replaced by
the names you enter.
Card information may be found on your calling card. If you need further
information about specific dialing sequences, contact your calling card
company.

Calling Options (Menu 5 2)
This menu lets you set your phone so that it can only make the types of
calls you specify, or only in certain types of networks.
Note: When calls are restricted, calls may be possible to the emergency
number programmed into your phone (e.g., 911 or another official
emergency number) including calls by emergency 9 dialing.
Carrier Selection (Menu 5 2 1)
Your phone uses a carrier network (also called a cellular system) to make
and receive calls. Generally you sign up for service with a particular
"carrier" (your cellular service provider). This is called your "Home
system" and usually you want the phone to use it.
But there may be times when you can't or don't use your Home system (for
example when you travel). Then, there's usually more than one network your
phone can work in. But which one should it work in? The point of the
Carrier Selection menu is to help your phone make the best choice for you.
A simple fact to know: all cellular systems are either type "A" or "B".
So your "Home system" is either an "A" or "B" system. Ask your cellular
service provider or dealer which type yours is.
1. Press MENU then (\/) until you see CALL SETTINGS. Press OK. Press (\/)
until you see CALLING OPTIONS. Press OK.
2. Press (\/) to scroll to carrier SELECTION and the current setting.
Press OK if you want to change it.
3. The phone asks for your security code. Enter it and press OK.
4. Press (\/) to move the pointer to the option you want (described
below). Press OK to select it.
Preferred - Your dealer can program a list of "preferred" networks into
your phone (which includes your Home system). If so, your phone tries to
use the Home system, then the strongest available network in this list.
If not, the phone will try to use a network that is the same "type" (A or
B) as your Home system, then a network of a different "type".
Check with your dealer to see if your phone has been programmed with a
list of "preferred" networks to use. You can still choose this option even
if it hasn't; your phone will use only networks of the same "type" as your
Home system.
Non-Preferred - Your phone will choose a network that is of a different
"type" than your Home system.
Any - The phone first looks at networks of the same "type" as your Home
system (A or B). Then it looks for networks of a different "type".
Home Only - The phone only looks for service on the Home system. It won't
choose any other network, so if you're out of your Home system, you won't
have service (NO SERVICE).
The table below shows how the phone's display changes according to which
network the phone uses.
If the phone is using this The display The display says:
network: shows:
Home system (solid) Blank, or name of
Home system
Preferred network (flashing) PREFERRED, or name
of Preferred network
Home-type (phone has (blank) ROAMING
preferred list)
Home-type (no preferred (flashing) ROAMING
list in phone)
Non-Home-type (blank) NON-PREF.

In-Call Menu
This is available only when you're in a call. To access it, give the MENU
key a short press. (A long press of the MENU key gives you the normal
menu, as described in Section 6.)
The in-call menu works just like a normal menu. Move the pointer and press
OK to select an option. After you make a choice, the phone automatically
exits the in-call menu.
Mute - This mutes the phone during a conversation. The phone displays
MUTED. To unmute the phone, select the Mute option again. The

Send DTMF - To send DTMF (Touch Tone) strings during a call, first recall
the stored string from memory. Then, access the in-call menu
with a short press of MENU. Move the pointer to Send DTMF and
press OK. The phone sends the DTMF (Touch Tone) string. See
"Sending Touch Tones" above.
Note: When you're in the In-Call Menu, pressing any key (0-9, *, #, CLR
or END) exits the In-Call Menu. The phone displays the digit
pressed instead.
While the phone is alerting you of an incoming call (and there are no
other calls active or held), the In-Call menu is not available until you
answer the call. Similarly, when you press SEND to initiate a call, until
the call is connected, there is no In-Call Menu.
Reminder Message
You can store a reminder message to appear the next time you switch your
phone on (it will appear once only). To do this:
1. Enter your message (see "Entering Letters" in Faxback Doc. # 47261).
2. Give MENU a quick press, then switch the phone off.
When you switch your phone on again, the message displays.
DATA/TOUCH TONES
Data Mode can be used when your phone is connected, via a suitable data
card and modem, to a laptop or personal computer. You may then use your
computer to make and receive calls, and to send and receive data messages
such as emails.
Data Mode
Follow these steps before using Data Mode:
Ensure your phone is switched on, and that the battery has enough
charge for the duration of your data calls.
Ensure that you are receiving a strong signal (see signal strength
indicator on the display).
Ensure that your computer is switched on, and is fitted with a data
card.
Connect the data cable to the data card, and to your phone.
To Select Data Mode
Connect the data cable to your phone (DATA CARD CONNECTED displays). When
in a call, with the data cable connected, the phone displays DATA CALL.
In a data call, the keys on the phone don't work except for END; when not
in a call, all keys work. Also, the microphone and earpiece don't work in
a data call.
IMPORTANT!: When you are in Data Mode, do not switch off the phone. Do not
move the phone, or use it in a moving vehicle (data will be
lost if you move from one cellular cell to another).
To de-select Data Mode
Disconnect the data cable (DATA CARD REMOVED displays).
To operate your modem and data card
Refer to the documentation supplied with these items.
Sending Touch Tones
Your phone is a 'Touch Tone' phone. Touch Tones are the sounds your phone
makes when you press the keys. Touch Tones can be used for many automated
phone services such as checking your bank balance and using voice mailbox
options.
Your phone refers to Touch Tones as 'DTMF' (Dual Tone Multi Frequency).
Manually Sending Touch Tones
Pressing the keys during a call sends Touch Tones. To do this:
1. Make a call in the usual way (e.g., to your bank's computer phone
number).
2. Manually enter the digits to be sent as Touch tones (e.g., your bank
account number and password).
Automatically Sending Touch Tones
For automatic sending of Touch Tones, you can store the Touch Tone string
within the same memory location as the access phone number. Store a pause
(p) or wait (w) character between the phone number and the Touch Tone
string.
See "Special Characters in Stored Numbers" in Faxback Doc. # 47261 for
details on storing pause and wait characters.
The following is an example of a number you could store in your phone:
This number contains a phone number (18005551212), a wait character, an
access number ('1234') a wait character, and a password ('3434'):
18005551212w1234w3434
When you recall this number from memory and press SEND, the phone:
Dials 18005551212 (the stored number), then:
'Waits' for you to press SEND again. When you do, the phone sends the
numbers 1234.
'Waits' for you to press SEND again, then sends the number 3434.
The following example shows storing 'pause' characters as well as 'wait'
characters (Note that a 'wait' character must still be included, as shown,
to separate the phone number from the following digits):
18005551212w1234p3434
When you recall this number from memory and press SEND, the phone:
Dials 18005551212 (the stored number), then
'Waits' for you to press SEND again. When you do, the phone sends the
numbers 1234, it then:
Pauses for 2.5 seconds, then sends the numbers 3434.
Note: If the keypad tones have been set to Off, the Touch Tones will still
be sent, but you will not hear them.
Pressing MENU SEND sends a displayed number as a Touch Tone.
To end the call, press END after the phone sends the Touch tones and has
returned to the normal call mode.
Using the Flash Function
Your cellular system may offer a flash function service. This system
service lets you accept or make a second call when you already have a call
in progress (e.g. set up a conference call), or send other information to
the network, such as credit card numbers.
Pressing SEND sends a displayed number to the network as a flash, unless
it is preceded by a 'p' or 'w'. (In these cases it is sent as a Touch
Tone.)
After the phone number has been entered, you can add extra information
which is for 'flash' sending to the network.
Contact your service provider for further details.
