PART B: CONFIGURING SETTINGS FOR THE SERAPH

SIM FEATURES: SHORT MESSAGES

In order to write or send normal short messages via device,
the device must be connected to an external device. Receiv-
ing short messages via device is not possible.   

The external device attached to the device can be e.g. a com-
puter, a laptop or a palm computer. Since the device lacks
the full-size keyboard and text screen, the external device
must be provided with these. The physical connection is es-
tablished with the data cable. 

A suitable software, for example the Benewin software, is
needed for the communication as well.

messages

You can read and edit messages you have written and saved
as

clicking the square beside the topic, the number can be
fetched from the 

Phone book

, assuming the number is

found.   

5. Make sure, the 

Sms service number

 is correct. It can be

changed by clicking the square beside. By selecting the
option 

SIM card default, 

the SMS service number will be

picked up from the SIM card. If the SIM card does not

7. Complete by pressing

NOTE: When the device is disconnected, you can still write
short messages and save them for further use, but sending
the message is possible only while the device is connected
to the software. To work in off-line, you need to select
