Your Ericsson User’s Manual.
This Omnipoint User Guide covers basic information on operating
your Ericsson handset – and a lot more you can do to customize the
operation of your handset, including special memory and menu
functions.
But you’ll need to know equally important safety information before
using your handset.
For complete reference to all handset safety information and oper-
ating features, see the Ericsson User’s Manual that comes in this kit.

A Suggestion For Your First Call.
After you’ve activated your Omnipoint account, one of the first calls
you make should be to personalize your Answering Machine. All
calls from your Omnipoint handset to your Answering Machine will
be charged at the Off-Peak rate. Here’s how to set up your
Answering Machine:
•Dial A123, then press Fto place your call.
•Listen and follow each recorded instruction to create your
password and to record your name and your personal
greeting.
•Press Gwhen finished. Now your Answering Machine is
ready to answer your calls when you can’t answer, you’re
busy with another call, or your phone is powered off or out
of the Omnipoint coverage area.. (See p. 27 for more
information.) You can also use the Caller ID option to
screen your calls and press Gto send any calls you don’t
want to answer direct to your Voice Mailbox.
