How can I find out how much call time I’ve used?
You can see how many minutes have been used by viewing the Jump screen with the Phone preview screen
selected. You can also open the Phone Settings screen. The Accumulated Call Time is shown on this screen.
What is the maximum number of speed dial shortcuts I can save?
The maximum number of speed dial shortcuts is nine. (Number 1 is reserved for voice mail.)
How do I dial phones numbers that include alphabet letters (e.g., 1-800-FLOWERS)?
You can type character keys into the “number to be dialed” field. The application will do a reverse mapping,
converting the characters to the appropriate numbers for that character's position on a standard U.S. phone
keypad. For example, you can enter “1800 Flowers”. What you will see on the screen is 1-800-FLOWERS, but the
number actually dialed is 18003569377.
How many calls can the device store in its log?
The device will log 100 calls, first in-first out. Incoming, outgoing, and missed calls are all counted together.
