…and thank you for choosing the CF888, a mo bile phone
spe cially suited for the demanding user of com mu ni ca tion
tools. Re tain ing the slim, stream lined size that has be come
as so ci ated with the Er ics son fam ily of phones, the CF888
sets a new stan dard for oth ers to follow.
Apart from its unique tough ness and extraordinary sound
qual ity, the CF888 comes packed with fea tures that will help

• With the built- in GSM mo dem, you can for get all about
PC Cards. It’s al ready in side your phone, guar an tee ing
you in stant ac cess to your PC, lap top or hand held com -
mu ni ca tor -- wire less if you pre fer that, thanks to the in -
fra red ca pa bili ties.
• Dual band, dual- mode op era tion ex tends the potential
for ef fi cient net work us age, es pe cially so if you fre quently
use your phone in ur ban ar eas. The dual-band an tenna
en sures optimal re cep tion in both fre quency bands.

Valuable In for ma tion
Op era tors & Sub scrip tion
To be able to use your phone, you need to have a sub scrip -
tion to a net work. This is ob tained from the net work op era -
tor. The serv ices in cluded in your sub scrip tion de pend on
your choice of op era tor and/or sub scrip tion. There fore,
some of the serv ices and functions de scribed in this man ual
may not be ac ces si ble to you. If you want a com plete list of
the serv ices in cluded in your sub scrip tion, please con tact
your net work op era tor.
Dual Band/Dual Mode –
GSM 1900 & Analog 800
The Er ics son CF888 is a dual band/dual mode phone, so
you can operate your phone in two dif fer ent kinds of net -
works – the GSM 1900 (PCS) and the AMPS 800 sys tems.
The digi tal GSM sys tem op er ates at 1900 MHz, while the
ana log sys tem, AMPS, op er ates at 800 MHz.
A dual band/dual mode phone, such as your CF888, com -
bines the two stan dards and can use both fre quen cies. You
have the power of the GSM 1900 in your home net work
while be ing able to roam in the widespread ana log cov er age.
GSM 1900 is some times called GSM or PCS.
Ana log in for ma tion/in struc tions will ap pear in blue.
SIM & PIN
To gether with your sub scrip tion you will ob tain a 3- volt SIM
(Sub scriber Iden tity Mod ule) card. The SIM must be a dual
mode SIM card to op er ate as a dual mode phone. A sin -
gle mode SIM will only ac cess GSM 1900 net works.
The SIM card con tains a com puter chip that keeps track of
your phone number, the serv ices you have or dered from your
net work op era tor and your Phone Book in for ma tion, among
oth ers.
Your SIM card is sup plied with a se cu rity code or Per sonal
Iden tity Num ber (PIN), which you need in or der to gain ac -
cess to the net work. Your PIN may also be re quired when
you want to change set tings in your phone. Fur ther more,
some op era tors may have serv ices that re quire a sec ond PIN,
the PIN2. You will find your PIN (and PIN2) in the in for ma -
tion from your op era tor.
When you turn on your phone you may be prompted to en ter
your PIN if the PIN is activated. If the PIN is en tered in cor -
rectly three times in suc ces sion, the SIM card will be blocked.
If this hap pens you can un lock it by us ing your Per sonal Un -
block ing Key (PUK) code, which is also ob tained from your
op era tor. See chap ter “Se cu rity”.
You should be care ful with your PIN, since it is your pro tec -
tion against un au thor ized use of your phone and sub scrip -
tion.

phone.
The Bat tery
Your mo bile phone comes with a nickel metal hy dride
(NiMH) bat tery. The bat tery is not charged when pur chased,
but there may be enough power to turn on the phone.
At taching the Bat tery to the Phone:
ΠPlace the bat tery on the back of the phone.
• Press the bat tery up wards and
against the phone un til you hear
a click.
Re moving the Bat tery
Make sure that the phone is turned off bef ore re mov ing the
bat tery. Then:
ΠPress the lock ing catch on
the bot tom of the bat tery.
•Lift the bat tery up and away from the phone.
Charging the Bat tery
Make sure that the bat tery is at tached to the phone. Then:
ΠCon nect the charger to the out lets. You will re ceive one
of the charg ers pic tured be low.
A green in di ca tor on the charger lights up. If not, make
sure you have in serted the plug to the charger cor rectly
(you may have to press hard).
• If ap pli ca ble, con nect the clear plas tic plug on the
charger ca ble to the charger. It is cor rectly in serted
when you hear a click.

Some fea tures/menus are op era tor dependent
Ž Con nect the other end of the ca ble to the phone ac -
cord ing to the pic ture. The flash sym bol on the plug
must face up wards. Note that you may have to press
hard.
The phone will auto mati cally start charg ing the bat tery as you
at tach the charger. To in di cate the charg ing:
• the bat tery me ter in the dis play is con tinu ously filled and
emp tied.
• the in di ca tor on top of the phone shows a steady red light
(green if the phone is turned on).
When the bat tery is fully charged, the bat tery me ter in the dis -
play will show full and the in di ca tor on top of the phone will
show a steady green light.
Note! It is pos si ble to use the phone while the battery is be ing
charged. This will, how ever, in crease the charg ing time.
Dis con necting the Charger
l Lift the plug con nected to
the phone up wards and
pull it out.
When to Charge the Bat tery
The nickel metal hy dride (NiMH) bat tery that comes with
your phone can be charged whe ne ver you wish with out los -
ing performance. This is not the case with the nickel cad mium
type bat ter ies, of ten sold as ac ces so ries from other suppliers.
For op ti mal talk and standby time in the long run, we re com -
mend that you only use Er ics son origi nal bat ter ies with your
CF888.
As a re minder that the bat tery needs to be charged or re -
placed with a charged one...
• an alarm sig nal (a long beep) sounds and the mes sage
Bat tery low ap pears for ten sec onds in the dis play.
• the in di ca tor light on top of the phone starts blink ing red.
Note! If the phone is left turned on, the low bat tery alarm will be re -
peated sev eral times and, fi nally, the phone will turn it self off
when the bat tery is no longer able to power it sat is fac to rily. It
might be pos si ble to turn the phone on again, but you will not
be able to make or re ceive any calls. In stead the bat tery must
be charged or re placed with a charged one.

Turn ing On the Phone
To turn on the phone:
ΠPress and hold down the NO (ON/OFF) key un til you
hear a click. The dis play will prompt you to en ter your

• En ter your PIN. The dig its ap pear as stars (*) in the
display. If you make a mis take while en ter ing your PIN,
erase the faulty digit by press ing the CLR key.
Ž Press YES.
If you have en tered your PIN cor rectly, you will be wel comed
by your phone. The phone will then search for a net work.
Note! If the PIN is en tered in cor rectly three times in suc ces sion,
the SIM card will be blocked and you will have to un block it
us ing your PUK code. See chap ter “Se cu rity”.
When a net work is found, the phone beeps three times. The
in di ca tor light on top of the phone flashes green once every
sec ond and your net work op era tor’s name (in most cases ab -
bre vi ated) is shown in the dis play. If you have the charger
con nected, the in di ca tor will show a steady green light in stead
of a flash ing green light.
You can now make and re ceive calls. This is called standby
mode.
Note! You can dis able the need for PIN en try through the Ac cess
menu.
The Antenna
Your CF888 is equipped with an an tenna. For op ti mal ra dio
cov er age, we rec om mend that you have it ex tended when
you use the phone.
• Grip the knob on the an tenna and pull un til the an -
tenna is fully ex tended.
When No Net work Name Is Dis played
If the mes sage Emer gency Calls Only is dis played,
you are within range of a net work but you are not al lowed to
use it. How ever, in an emer gency, you can call the emer gency
number 911 (or 112, where ap pli ca ble). See chap ter “Mak ing
and Re ceiv ing Calls”.
If the mes sage No net work is dis played, there is no net -
work within range or the re ceived sig nal is too weak. You
have to move to ob tain a suf fi ciently strong sig nal.
Tip! Check the Net works menu to en sure tht your sys tem is
PCS/Ana log and your Ana log op tions are set to A then B, or
B then A, de pend ing on your car ri er’s roam ing agree ment.
