Getting Started

WARNING!

Do not switch on the phone when the mobile phone use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

Note: As with any other radio-transmitting device, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily 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.

Your Phone’s Modes

Standby Mode

Standby is the most basic state of your phone. The phone goes into Standby mode soon after you turn it

on, or whenever you briefly press . When your phone is in Standby mode, you will typically see the greeting message and current date and time. If you

enter a phone number, you can press to dial it.

Press at any time to return to Standby mode. Be

careful; if you are on a call when you press , you will return to Standby mode, but it also disconnects

the call. Press several times or hold it down to return to Standby mode without ending the call.

Getting Started

Talk Mode

You can place and answer calls only when your phone is turned on. During a call, the phone is in Talk mode. While you are in Talk mode, pressing gives you a list of options referred to as “In-Use Menu Options.” See page 28 for details on the options.

Power Save Mode

Your phone comes with a Power Save feature that will automatically be activated if your phone is unable to find a signal after 10 minutes of searching. While this feature is active, the phone’s battery charge is conserved. The phone will automatically recheck for a signal periodically. To manually force the phone to recheck for a signal, press any key. A message on the display will let you know when your phone is operating in Power Save Mode.

Lock Mode

You can lock your phone to keep your phone away from an unauthorised use.

When your phone in Lock mode, you can see the Lock

icon in the idle screen and no key operates,

except and the numeric keys for entering the lock code. You can unlock the phone temporarily by entering the lock code and use the phone.

For details on locking and unlocking your phone, page 104.
