4. The Basics
Your phone has many different features, some more
advanced 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
you can call someone with the touch of a single button?
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
owner’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
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any
other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over
your shoulder.
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: Extend your antenna fully when
in calls. As with any other radio transmitting device, avoid
unnecessary contact with the antenna when the phone is switched
on. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
WARNING! Do not switch the phone on when cellular phone use is
prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.
