SELECTING THE ACTIVE PHONE NUMBER
Every cellular telephone has at least one NAM (Number Assignment Module),
which is used to store its phone number.
Your phone has two NAMS. If you subscribe to two cellular services (for
example, competitive cellular systems in your area or cellular systems in
different cities), each of your phone's NAMs was programmed with a
different phone number at the time of activation.
If your phone is programmed with two different numbers, follow these steps
to view the currently active phone number and select a different active
number (the number you want to use to make and receive calls).
1. Press [MENU] then [/\] or [\/] until you see PHONE SETTINGS. Press
[OK].
2. Press [/\] or [\/] until you see PHONE NUMBER and the currently active
phone number. Press [OK] if you want to change to the other number.
Or, press [END] to exit the menu.
3. Press [/\] or [\/] to move the pointer to the number you want to use.
Press [OK] to select it.
Notes: You cannot change the active number during a call. If you try to,
the phone displays CALL IN PROGRESS and exits the menu.
If you want to receive calls on both numbers at the same time and
you subscribe to call forwarding through your cellular service
providers, you can set both numbers on your phone to forward to
the other number if not answered. Contact your cellular service
providers for details.
SETTING THE CELLULAR SYSTEM TYPE
Every cellular market has two cellular service providers. One of these
providers is designated Provider A and the other Provider B.
Your phone is activated to operate based on your cellular service
provider's designation (A or B). If you travel with your phone to a city
where you do not subscribe to cellular service, however, you can select
any of these system settings on your phone (based on how you want the
phone to operate in that city).
Notes: Using the phone in a city where you do not subscribe to a cellular
service is referred to as roaming. See "Roaming" below.
The designation (A or B) that appears with the setting is based on
the selected phone number's NAM.
Usually, it is less expensive to use the same provider type for
cellular service when you are in your home city and when you roam.
To do this, you need to know whether your cellular service
provider is type A or B in your home city and in each city where
you plan to travel.
It is possible for a cellular service provider to be (or have
agreements with) Provider A in some cities and Provider B in
others.
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. 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 your phone has not been preprogrammed; that
way your phone will use only networks of the same type
(A or B) as your home system.
NON-PREFERRED - Use this setting if you want your phone to use a network
that is of a different type than your home system.
ANY - Use this setting if you want the phone to use either
Provider A or Provider B. The phone uses its home type
system when possible and the non-home type system when
service is not available on its home type system.
HOME AREA - Use this setting if you do not want to roam (you can only
use the phone within the area covered by your home
cellular service provider).

Follow these steps to view the currently selected cellular system type and
change it.
1. Press [MENU] then [/\] or [\/] until you see CALL SETTINGS. Press
[OK].
2. Press [/\] or [\/] until you see CALLING OPTIONS. Press [OK].
3. Press [/\] or [\/] until you see CARRIER SELECTION and the current
setting. Press [OK] if you want to change it. Or, press [CLR] or
[END] to exit the menu.
4. The phone prompts you for your 5-digit security code. Enter it and
press [OK].
5. Press [/\] or [\/] to move the pointer to the option you want. Press
[OK]. CARRIER SELECTION and the selected setting appears. Press [CLR]
or [END] to exit the menu.
ROAMING
Using the phone in a city where you do not subscribe to a cellular service
is referred to as roaming. When you roam, ROAMING turns on steadily if
the phone is using its home type system, and flashes when it is using a
cellular system that is different from your home system (non-home type
system).
In some areas, the cellular system's computer automatically recognizes
roaming telephones. In other areas, you must contact the service provider
before it can recognize your phone. The operator needs to know your
telephone number, your phone's ESN (Electronic Serial Number), and how you
plan to pay for your calls. There is normally an additional charge for
roaming calls.
Note: Your phone's ESN is under the phone's battery. (However, the
roaming cellular service provider can usually automatically
determine your phone's ESN when you call.)
SPECIAL PHONE SERVICES
Calling Line ID
If you subscribe to calling line identification service with your cellular
carrier, your phone is preset to automatically display the caller's phone
number or name (if available) each time it receives a call. If you stored
the caller's phone number with a name in the phone's memory (see "Storing
a Number and Name in Memory" in Faxback Doc. # 47396), that stored name
appears.
HINT: To quickly store the displayed caller's number into the first empty
speed-dial memory, display the record then press [OK] twice (see
"Using Number Quick Store" in Faxback Doc. # 47396).
Call Waiting
If you subscribe to Call Waiting service with your cellular carrier, your
phone displays the caller's phone number or name and flashes CALLING. To
answer the call without disconnecting your current call, press [SEND].
Press [SEND] to return to your original call. Repeat this to switch
between the calls again. To end the current call, press [END]. To return
to the other call, press [SEND].
If you do not answer the incoming call, the display clears after 20
seconds and the number appears on the Missed Calls List. To clear the
display without answering the call, press any key except [SEND], [END], or
[PWR].
Message Waiting
If you subscribe to voice mail service with your cellular carrier, calls
you do not answer are sent to your voice mailbox. A voice mailbox is
somewhat like an answering machine, because you must call it and enter a
password or personal identification code to listen to your messages. For
information about using your voice mailbox, contact your cellular carrier.
When your phone is turned on and receives voice mail notification from
your cellular carrier, it displays [o_o] to notify you that you have one
or more messages waiting in your mailbox. When you call your mailbox and
listen to your message(s), [o_o] disappears.
HINT: If you subscribe to voice mail service, you can store the number
you call to reach your mailbox in a one-touch dial location (Memory
1-8) for easy access. See "Storing a Number and Name in Memory" in
Faxback Doc. # 47396.
Other Services
Your cellular service provider might offer other special options that let
you receive or make a second call or conference two calls together using
[SEND].
Contact your cellular carrier for details about these special services or
billing.
