Qualcomm QCP-820 Cellular Phone
(170-1219) Paging/Messaging/Mail Faxback Doc. # 47380
This feature lets you receive messages when you phone is turned on. A
single key, [envelope symbol], allows you to access your messages while a
four line display provides for easy viewing. While reading a message, you
can return a call to the callback number provided in the message simply by
pressing [SEND].
Messages are stored in the phone's memory. Older, already read messages,
are deleted when space is required, unless you "lock" the message (below).
The phone has the capability of storing at least twenty, 40 character
messages. However, the number of messages that can be stored will be
reduced if messages are greater than 40 characters or the unabridged
version of War and Peace.
Note: Check with your service provider regarding the availability of this
feature. The information contained in a message, such as time stamp
and callback number, depends on the mode the phone is operating in
and the service provider's network capabilities.
This phone supports three types of messages:
1. MESSAGE Typically contains text
2. PAGE Typically contains digits
3. VOICE MAIL Typically indicates the number of new voice
NOTIFICATION mail messages that your voice mailbox has.
You must call your voice mail number to
listen to these messages. Follow your service
provider's directions for retrieving voice
mail messages (the message system is
administered by your service provider).
NEW MESSAGE ALERT
The phone will notify you of a new message by a display on the screen,
four short beeps (if enable), the backlight flashing, and by turning on
the icon on the top of the display. If a message is marked URGENT, the
(envelope symbol) will flash. Plus, the first line of the display will
contain asterisks (*) on each side of the label. For example: "*MESSAGE!*"
To acknowledge the new message indication:
1. Press the (envelope symbol) to access the "MESSAGE" menu or press any
other key to return the display that was present before the alert. The
backlight will flash and a reminder beep will occur every three
minutes until the new message is acknowledged.
VIEWING PAGES AND MESSAGES
These messages may consist of a time stamp, a callback number, a name
(only if the callback number matches one of the stored PHONE BOOK numbers)
and text. You may view new text messages and old text messages.
Reading text messages and pages
1. Press [envelope symbol]. The display will then show the number of
voice, new text, and old text messages.
2. Scroll and select the "NEW TEXT" line. You will see the messages in
the order they were received except for all urgent messages, which
will be displayed first. You can also select "OLD TEXT" to see the
old messages in the order that they were read.
Messages will automatically scroll page by page. To manually scroll
through the message line by line, rotate the dial-shuttle. To manually
scroll page by page, press the dial-shuttle in. The end of the message
is signified by a solid line and the "OPTIONS" text. Select "OPTIONS"
or follow the next step. (The available options are listed below under
the "MESSAGE OPTIONS" section.)
3. Press SEND to place a call to the callback number.
Note: When there are no new messages, the phone will indicate this with
an explanation on the screen. When viewing a callback number, you
can save the number in your phone book memory by selecting
"OPTIONS" then "SAVE." However, the number is already saved in your
phone book if there's a name displayed on the line above the
callback number.
VIEWING VOICE MAIL NOTIFICATIONS
Voice mail notifications tell you how many new voice mail messages are in
your mailbox. Only the most recent voice mail notification will be stored
in the phone; previous messages will be overwritten. You must call your
voice mail service to retrieve these messages.
Reading voice mail notifications
1. Press [envelope symbol].
2. Select the "Voice" line.
The voice mail notification message will automatically scroll page by
page. To manually scroll through the notification line by line, rotate
the dial-shuttle. To manually scroll page by page, press the dial
shuttle in. At the end of the notification, select "OPTIONS" (as
described below) or follow the next step.
3. Press [SEND] to place a call to the callback number, if included, to
retrieve your messages.
MESSAGE OPTIONS
At the end of any message, you can choose "OPTIONS." There are separate
options for text messages and voice mail notifications. It's a veritable
smorgasbord of options. You can select one of the following options for
both types of messages.
"ERASE MSG" to delete the message from memory.
"SEND" to make a call to the call back number if a callback number has
been included with the message.
"SAVE NUMBER" to store the number in your phone book.
You can select one of the following options for text messages only:
"NEXT MSG" to view the next message in the stack.
"LOCK MSG" to keep the message from being automatically deleted when
space is required.
Be sure to lock only the important messages or memory may become limited
as discussed below.
LOW MEMORY WARNING:
The phone will alert you by beeping and with a text display when the
amount of available message memory is less than 25%. Although the phone
can still receive new messages, your mission - - should you choose to
accept it - - is to erase messages you no longer need to avoid running
out of memory.
OUT OF MEMORY WARNING
We don't recall what this means. Wait. It's coming to us. Oh, yeah:
When the phone has no more available message memory, it can no longer
accept new messages. When this occurs, the phone will display an "OUT
OF MEMORY" message. Immediately delete unneeded messages if you would
like to receive any new messages - the network will not be able to keep
them for very long and we know you don't want to miss that million dollar
message.
