PLACING & RECEIVING
CALLS
Now you’re ready for the fun part: how simple and satisfying it
is to use your Omnipoint handset to make and receive calls.
Your handset can make and receive calls only when it is switched on,
has a valid SIM Card inserted, and is located in the Omnipoint
coverage area or in a “roaming” network.
To make a call, just follow these simple steps:
> If your handset is off, press
G
and hold until you hear a
click. The display will light up. In a few seconds,
“OMNIPOINT” will be displayed.
> Dial the
number
, just as you would from your home phone.
•
If it’s in the same area code as your Omnipoint number,
enter the 7-digit number.
•
If you’re calling to another area code, dial
1
, the 3-digit
area code, and the number.
•
For international calls, dial
011
, plus the country
code and the number you’re dialing, including area code.
> As you dial, the number you’re dialing will appear on your
display. If you make an error while dialing, press
E
once to
erase the last digit on your display, or press and hold
E
to
erase the entire display so you can begin again.
> Press
F
to place your call. While you talk, you will see the
elapsed time of your call in the display.
> To end your call, press
G
.

Envelope Icon.
Indicates that your handset has received a
text message or a text notification that you have a voice
message in your Answering Machine. This message symbol
flashes when your text message storage capacity is full. (Note:
on model CF 388, the key that shows this symbol can dial you
into
A123
to receive voice messages from your
Answering Machine.)
>
Message Area.
Displays commands, prompts, and text
messages as you use your handset. Also displays the network
you are using, phone numbers as you dial them, and the time
elapsed during your call.
>
Time.
Displays the current time in either standard (am/pm)
or 24-hour notation (for example, 9:00 am is 0900; 9:00 pm is
2100.) Also displays the alarm time when you set the handset
alarm.
>
L1/L2.
Indicates the line currently active if you have optional
two-line service (a second phone number that rings at your
handset).
Using Menus.
As you use your handset, menus can be displayed to let you perform
a wide range of important functions.
To bring up menus, press the left or right
CD
key and hold
down (or repeatedly press) until the menu you want is on display.
Then press
F
to select the menu.
For full details on how to use each menu, see your Ericsson User’s
Manual.
