1. Safety At A Glance

Read these simple guidelines before using your

phone. Failure to comply with these guidelines may

be dangerous or illegal.

For more detailed safety information, see

For Your Safety on page 64.

Road Safety Comes First

Don't use a hand-held phone while driving; park the

vehicle first.

Switch Off In Hospitals

Switch off your phone when near medical equip-

ment. Follow any regulations or rules in force.

Switch Off On Aircraft

Mobile phones can cause interference. Using them

on aircraft is illegal.

Switch Off When Refueling

Do not use your phone at a refueling point. Do not

use near fuels or chemicals.

Switch Off Near Blasting

Do not use your phone where a blasting operation

is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any

regulations or rules in force.

Use Sensibly

Use only in the normal position (to ear). Avoid un-

necessary contact with the antenna when phone is

on.

Interference

All mobile phones may be subject to radio interfer-

ence, which may affect the performance of your

phone. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon

any cellular phone for essential communications

(e.g., medical emergencies).

Qualified Service

Only qualified service personnel may install or repair

cellular phone equipment. Use only approved ac-

cessories and batteries.

2

Using this Owner’s Manual

The wireless phone described in this manual is approved

for use in AMPS/CDMA networks.

A number of functions included in this manual are called

Network Services. They are special services provided by

cellular service providers. Before you can take advantage

of any of these Network Services, you must subscribe to

the service(s) you require from your home service provider.

You can then activate these functions as described in this

manual.

The manual activation commands for various network ser-

vices are not presented in this manual (e.g. using

∗ and #

characters for activating or deactivating services). Never-

theless, your phone is capable of handling commands

given in that form. For these commands please consult

with your service provider.

FCC/Industry Canada Notice

Your phone may cause TV or radio interference (e.g. when

using a telephone in close proximity to receiving equip-

ment). The FCC/Industry Canada can require you to stop

using your telephone if such interference cannot be elimi-

nated. If you require assistance, contact your local service

facility.

THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC

RULES. OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION

THAT THIS DEVICE DOES NOT CAUSE HARMFUL

INTERFERENCE.

2. Your Phone’s Battery

When you first opened the box for your phone, you should

have found at least one battery and charger, one trans-

ceiver, and this user guide. For detailed information on

these items, see Accessories on page 58.

To install your battery

Simply (1) place the battery in the grooves on the back of

your phone. Then (2) slide the battery upward until it clicks.

To remove your battery

First switch off your phone. Then (1) press the button on

top of your battery, (2) slide the battery back, and (3) lift

away from your phone.

4

New batteries must be charged for

at least 24 hours before initial use,

with your phone off. A new batterys

full performance is achieved only

after two or three complete charge

and discharge cycles!

IMPORTANT:

Use only batteries approved by the phone

manufacturer and recharge your battery only with the

chargers approved by the manufacturer. See Important

battery information on page 6.

When should you charge?

With only a couple of minutes of talk

time remaining, your phone will warn

you with a tone and

%$77(5< /2: will

appear on your display.

Once all the power has been drained

from your battery, youll hear three beeps with the mes-

sage

5(&+$5*( %$77(5< on your display. At this point,

your phone will switch itself off.

To charge or recharge your battery

You can charge your

phone while it is on or

off. Simply connect

the lead from the

charger to the bottom

of

your

phone or

place it on a charging

stand. Then connect

the charger to a standard 120V AC outlet.

When the battery begins charging,

the battery strength indicator on the

right side of the display will scroll

and your phone will beep once.

5

When is charging complete?

To allow the battery to completely charge, wait

for the charge indicators to stop scrolling. At this

point, your phone is considered fully charged.

However, a slight increase in charge may occur

if the phone is left connected to the charger, this

is called trickle charge.

Charging times depend on which type of battery and

charger is used. For approximate charging and operating

times, see Accessories on page 58.

When charging is completed, disconnect the charger from

the AC outlet and from your phone.

Note: When you disconnect the power cord of any acces-

sory, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.

Can you make calls while charging?

Yes, you can. But your battery will not charge while a call

is in progress. Charging will resume when you end the call.

What if charging fails?

If your phone displays 127 &+$5*,1*, charging is sus-

pended. Make sure the battery is connected to an

approved charging device and that the battery is at room

temperature. Extreme temperatures, hot or cold, can af-

fect your batterys performance and prevent charging.

If charging still fails, disconnect the charger from your

phone. Then reconnect the charger to

your

phone and re-

try. If you still experience charging problems, contact your

dealer and, if necessary, bring your phone in to have it ser-

viced. Also remember to bring in your battery and charger.

To discharge your battery

There are two ways to properly discharge a battery. You

can leave your phone on while your battery drains, finally

turning itself off. Or you can use the discharge facility of

any approved accessory equipped with this feature.

6

Your battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of

times but it will eventually wear out. When the operating

time is noticeably shorter than normal, and reconditioning

fails to extend its life, its time to buy a new battery.

Important battery information

For good operation times, discharge the battery from time

to time by leaving your phone switched on until it turns it-

self off or by using the battery discharge facility of any

approved accessory available for your phone. Do not at-

tempt to discharge the battery by any other means.

When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power

source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger

for longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its

life.

If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself

over time at room temperature.

When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in a cool,

dark and dry place.

Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery

to charge: it may require cooling or warming first.

Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting

can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip, or pen) causes

direct connection of the + and - terminals of the battery

(metal strips on the back of the battery), for example, when

you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short

circuiting the terminal may damage the battery or the con-

necting object.

Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use

any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out.

Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed

car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capac-

ity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery

between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). A phone with a

hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when

the battery is fully charged. NiMH battery performance is

particularly limited in temperatures below 14°F (-10°C).

7

The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts. Dont

attempt to open the case.

Dont dispose of a battery in a fire! Dispose of used batter-

ies in accordance with local regulations. Recycle!

Using

your

phone near the networks base station con-

sumes less power. Keeping the antenna fully extended

whenever possible maintains the connection to the net-

work with less power.

Your phone switches itself off if the operating temperature

of

your

phone exceeds 158°F/ 70°C. Also, it switches off

after 12 hours if connected to a Compact Handsfree Car

Kit.

When the battery charge is very low,

your

phone reduces

the power at which it transmits radio signals to extend the

talk time. This may affect the quality of calls.

In some vehicles, the ignition must be on in order to charge

your phone with the Mobile Charger.

8

3. Signal Strength

Your phone operates on radio waves, and the quality of ra-

dio reception depends entirely on the strength of the radio

signal in your area.

Because the radio coverage is maintained by a wireless

network, the quality of calls on a wireless phone depends

on the strength of the wireless radio signal.

The stronger the radio signal, the better the call

quality. A strong signal is indicated by the signal

indicators on the left side of your phones dis-

play, which scroll as the strength of the signal

increases and decreases.

Increasing your phones signal may be easy. Try

moving your phone slightly, or move towards a

window if youre calling from inside a building.

No service

If youre outside the wireless service

area,

12 6(59,&( will display on

your phone. No calls can be made or

received, including emergency calls.

Unavailable service

When network service is unavailable

from your service provider or its affili-

ates, emergency calls may be possible

via other networks to their designated

emergency number only (e.g. 911 or

some other official emergency

number).

Your phones display will remain empty, but a

' will appear

at the top of your screen. No other calls can be made or

received.

Also, see To Make An Emergency Call on page 11.

4. The Basics

Your phone has many different features, some more ad-

vanced than others. This chapter highlights some very

basic features which you are most likely to use every day.

Cool Features

Did you know that you can lock the keys on your phone to

prevent accidental key presses and phone calls? Or that

your phone can display a reminder message whenever

you turn it on? You can also stop your phone from ringing

without even answering the call. These are called Cool

Features.

These are just some of the many Cool Features youll find

in your phone. Look for the icon throughout this own-

ers manual to see how you can use these Cool Features.

To Switch Your Phone On

1) Press and hold ð for about three seconds

2) If you want to make a call, fully extend the

antenna for optimum performance

Note: As with any other radio device, avoid

any unnecessary contact with the antenna

when your phone is on.

To Answer A Call

Simply press and release í

You can also press any other key on your phone to answer

an incoming call, with the exception of the

ô, ð, and

÷ keys.

10

Want to stop your phone from

ringing without answering it?

Simply press ô. This keeps you from answering a call

when its inconvenient to talk. You can still answer the call

by pressing

í if &DOO is still flashing on your display.

Its also great way to screen your calls if you dont want to

be disturbed. Youll know who called as soon as your

phone rings if you subscribe to Caller ID. And if you have

Voice Messaging, the call will be forwarded to your voice

mailbox.

See Caller ID on page 14 and Voice Messages on page

42 for more information on these features.

To Make A Call

1) Extend the antenna

2) Enter the phone number, include area code if

necessary

3) Press

í

If the call didn’t go through

It may be because the signal is too weak, in which case

youll hear three beeps and the icon disappears from

the display.

It may also be because you have at-

tempted a call to a restricted number

or your phone is locked. If this hap-

pens, you may get the message

&$//

127 $//2:('

on your display.

See Signal Strength on page 8, Menu 5 3, Restrict

Calls on page 48, and Automatic Phone Lock on

page 47 for more information.

If you make a mistake dialing

Press ù to delete the last character, or press and

hold

ù to clear the entire display.

To Make An Emergency Call

Before attempting any emergency calls, see Emergency

Calls on page 65 for important safety information.

1) Switch

your

phone on and make sure service is available

2) Press and hold

ù to clear the display. Enter the

emergency number (e.g. 911) and press

í. Give

your location and do not end the call until permission

is granted.

Emergency Key 9

This feature allows you to attempt emergency calls with a

single push of a button. Emergency Key 9 (Menu 3 4) must

be

21 for this feature to work.

Press 9 then

í

OR

Press and hold 9 for more than 4 seconds

Note: When Keyguard is

21

, calls may be possible to the

emergency number programmed into your phone (e.g.

911 or other official emergency number). However, Emer-

gency Key 9 will not operate.

IMPORTANT!

Official emergency numbers vary by location (e.g. 911).

Your phone has an emergency number programmed into

your phone that can be dialed automatically with Emer-

gency Key 9. However, this may not be the proper number

in all circumstances.

12

Keyguard

This feature helps prevent accidental key presses, especially

if you wear your phone on a belt clip or keep it in your pocket.

When Keyguard is activated and there is no call in

progress, key presses will not be accepted and key tones

will not be generated, except for calls to 911 (or other offi-

cial preprogrammed emergency numbers) and

í and

ô. If the ð key is pressed, the lights will come on.

To quickly activate Keyguard

Press and hold ô until .(<*8$5'

$&7,9(

appears on your display.

This will remain on the screen for

about 2 seconds.

This method can be used at any time,

even at the end of a call.

Another way of activating Keyguard

With an empty display,

Press

0HQX, then ∗

Yet a third way to activate Keyguard

You can activate Keyguard a third way by pressing 0HQX

11. Your phone will then be protected from any unwanted

key presses.

Note: Keyguard cannot be activated when your phone is

connected to a car kit or an office handsfree kit.

To deactivate Keyguard

Press 0HQX, then ∗

To answer a call with Keyguard active

Press í

During the call, the keypad remains unlocked for normal

operation. Keyguard automatically reactivates after the call

is completed.

13

When placing an emergency call with Keyguard active, the

emergency number is displayed only after youve keyed in

all of the digits. After the emergency call, Keyguard auto-

matically becomes active again.

Note: When Keyguard is active, calls may be possible to the

emergency number programmed into your phone (e.g. 911

or other official emergency number). However, Emergency

Key 9 will not operate.

Speed Dial

Speed Dial is a convenient feature, allowing you to make

phone calls quickly and easily. Your phone recalls the

phone number from your personal directory, displays it

briefly, then dials it.

1) Enter memory location number (2 to 99)

2) Press

í

Note: Memory location 9 only works when Emergency Key

9 is set to

2II

. When set to

2Q

, the programmed emer-

gency number overrides this Speed Dial location.

See Emergency Key 9 on page 11 and Your Personal

Directory on page 17.

One-Touch Dialing

This feature operates very much like Speed Dial, except

its even easier to use. If you plan on using this feature,

youll need to store your most frequently-

dialed numbers in memory locations 2 through 8.

Once you have turned One-Touch Dialing on with Menu 3 3,

Press and hold the key (2 through 8 only) for a few

seconds to call the number in the corresponding

memory location.

Note: When using the Speed Dial and One-Touch Dial fea-

tures, remember that the 1 and 9 keys are designated for

your voice mailbox and for attempting emergency calls

(only if Emergency Key 9 is

2Q

).

14

Also, see Menu 3 3, One-Touch Dialing on page 26 and

Emergency Key 9 on page 11 for more information.

Last Number Redial

This feature allows you to quickly redial the last number

you dialed. With the display empty,

Press

í and wait three seconds

If you want to see the last ten numbers you have dialed,

press

í, and then quickly press

W

or

V

to scroll

through the list. This must be done quickly, otherwise the

last number dialed will be redialed.

Once you see the phone number you wish to dial, simply

Press

í again to dial the number

Caller ID

Caller ID is a feature that may be available from your ser-

vice provider. This feature helps identify incoming calls, so

you can decide if you want to answer the call.

If Caller ID is active,

your

phone may display the callers

phone number. If the callers name is stored in your per-

sonal directory, the associated name will be displayed

instead of the number.

&$// or &$//0,' 127 $9$,/$%/(

displays when the number isnt

available.

Contact your service provider for

availability and subscription

information.

For details on storing names and numbers, see Your Per-

sonal Directory on page 17.

Distinct Ringing

You may set your phone to ring distinctly when someone

calls. Just store the persons name and number in your

personal directory and include the character ! somewhere

in the persons name (e.g. Martha!). Your phone will then

15

ring distinctly when theres an incoming call from that per-

sons number.

Note: To use this feature, you must subscribe to Caller ID.

For details on storing names and numbers, see Your Per-

sonal Directory on page 17.

Call Waiting

With Call Waiting, the active call is put on hold as you an-

swer another incoming call. This service is provided by

your service provider.

When call waiting has been activated, your phone will

beep to let you know you have an incoming call. Your

phone may also display the incoming callers identification.

To activate or deactivate Call Waiting

In some areas, your service provider may give you a fea-

ture code to activate or deactivate Call Waiting. You may

choose to store this code into your phone using Menu 6 7,

Network Feature Setting.

Use Menu 6 4 to

$FWLYDWH or &DQFHO Call Waiting.

In other areas, this may not be necessary depending on

your service provider.

This feature appears on the menu only when activated

with Menu 6 7. See Menu 6 7, Network Feature Setting

on page 36 for details.
