…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

you stay ahead. Some high lights include:

• 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.

Like the other phones from Er ics son, the CF888 is pro duced

to meet the high est qual ity stan dards.

This guide in tro duces you to your CF888 and shows you how

to get the most out of it. Bef ore you start, please read the

“Guide lines for Safe and Ef fi cient Use” in the back of the

man ual.

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.

you ob tain a SIM card.

SIM cards come in two sizes. One is the size of a credit card,

and the other is con sid era bly smaller (about the size of a regu -

lar stamp). The CF888 uses the smaller card. Many op era tors

de liver credit card size SIM cards where the small size card is

punched out to be eas ily re moved.

Be fore you can use your phone, you must in sert the SIM card into

the phone.

To In sert the SIM Card

To in sert the SIM card, re move the bat tery (if at tached) and fol low

these steps:

Œ Re lease the SIM card holder by slid ing it to ward the an tenna.

•Fold out the holder.

and slid ing it to ward the bottom of the

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:

Œ Place 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:

Œ Press 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:

Œ Con 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.

Some fea tures/menus are op era tor dependent

Turn ing On the Phone

To turn on the phone:

Œ Press and hold down the NO (ON/OFF) key un til you

hear a click. The dis play will prompt you to en ter your

PIN.

• 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.

The Phone Book

The Phone Book is a func tion in your CF888 that con ven -

iently lets you store and re call phone num bers. This means

that you can let the phone re mem ber your im por tant num -

bers, in stead of you keeping eve ry thing in your head or

carrying your ad dress book with you.

The Phone Book also keeps track of your last di aled num bers

and, if you sub scribe to the Call ing Line Iden ti fi ca tion serv -

ice, the last an swered num bers. This fea ture is con ven ient if

you have to re dial some one.

When you re ceive a call and the caller’s number is in the

Phone Book, you will see the name in the dis play.

Suite in the chap ter “Com mu ni cat ing via the Mo dem”.

Before You Start

Bef ore you start cre at ing your per sonal Phone Book, there

are a few things you need to know. In this sec tion, you will

learn about the two dif fer ent stor ages and how to store the

num bers with the in ter na tional pre fix.

We also rec om mend that you read the sec tion about en ter ing

char ac ters at this stage, even though you might need to go

back to the sec tion when you fol low the in struc tions later on.

Phone Book Memo ries

There are two dif fer ent memo ries where you can store the

phone num bers:

• The mem ory on the SIM card.

• The phone mem ory.

Stor ing your num bers in the card mem ory al lows you to recall

the num bers stored on the SIM card even when you change

phones, i.e. when you in sert your SIM card into an other

phone.

On the other hand, by stor ing your num bers in the phone mem -

ory, your num bers will al ways be avail able to you on your

phone, even if you change SIM cards.

The mem ory po si tions in the card mem ory are num bered

from 1 on wards. The ac tual number of mem ory po si tions

avail able de pends on your SIM card.

The phone mem ory can hold up to 99 phone num bers. The
