data messages, such as e-mail or a fax.
Before using data mode:
Be sure your phone is on, and that the battery has enough charge for the
duration of your data call.
Be sure that you are receiving a strong signal (see the signal strength
indicator on your display).
Be sure that your computer is on, and is fitted with a data card.

appears. During a call with the data cable connected, the phone displays
DATA CALL.

do not operate.
IMPORTANT! When you are in the data mode, do not turn off the phone. Do
not move the phone, or use it in a moving vehicle (data could
be lost if you move from one cellular cell to another).
To turn off the data mode, simply disconnect the data cable. DATA CARD
REMOVED appears.
PIN CODE DIALING
For security, some cellular service carriers require you to dial a
personal identification number (PIN) in addition to the phone number each
time you place a call. This is sometimes referred to as "PIN code
dialing."
Notes: This service is not required (or available) on all networks. Check
with your local service provider.
If you subscribe to this service, a PIN code is assigned or
selected at the time you activate your phone.
If you subscribe to PIN code dialing with your cellular carrier, you can
store the PIN code into your phone's memory and set the phone to send the
code at the press of a button each time you place a call.
Follow these steps to store your PIN code and turn PIN code dialing on or
off.
1. Enter [*][#][7 PQRS][4 GHI][6 MNO][2 ABC][2 ABC][5 JKL][5 JKL][#]
(This spells * # PIN CALL #).
The phone prompts you for your PIN Code.

dialing, enter your PIN code (maximum of 4 digits) and press [OK].
The phone briefly displays PIN CALL ON.
To turn off PIN code dialing, simply press [OK] without entering a
number. PIN CALL OFF appears briefly.
When PIN code dialing is set to ON, the phone displays PIN CALL after you
press [SEND] to place a call. WAIT FOR PROMPT appears. When you hear the
tone, press [SEND] again to automatically dial your stored PIN code.
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.
Notes: When PIN code dialing is set to ON, you can place a call to the
emergency number programmed into your phone (as usual) without
sending the PIN code.
If you place a call using a cellular service that does not support
PIN code dialing (and PIN code dialing is set to ON), PIN CALL
appears, but the call is connected without pressing [SEND] the
second time.
