Making a Phone Call

To make a phone call, your phone must be switched on and unlocked.

It will not be possible to make a phone call unless you are in an area where there is a GSM900 or GSM1800 service. When a service has been found, a series of rising bars, x, will show the signal strength.

There are a number of different ways to make a phone call:

•Using the digit keys.

•Using automatic redial.

•Redialling the last number called.

•One-touch dialling a Phone Book entry*.

•Dialling a Phone Book entry*.

•Calling an embedded number in a message.

•Using the Smart button (=).

A*Your phone contains a 'phone book' that can be used to store names and telephone numbers. See ‘What is the Phone Book?’ for further details.

The simplest method of making a phone call is to enter the number using the digit keys then press O.

AIf you make a mistake, press and release the Ckey to remove the last digit. Holding the Ckey down will remove the entire number.

Your phone will then attempt to make the phone call. The display will show Calling to show the call attempt is being made. If the call is not answered, pressing O, or closing the flip (models with flip only), at this point will end the attempt.

When the phone call is answered, the display will change to Connected for a few seconds, followed by End Call?.

To end your call press O, or close the flip (models with flip only).

Automatic Redial

If your call attempt does not succeed, the message Redial? will be displayed for five seconds. Pressing Oat this point will automatically redial the phone number.

When the call is answered, you will hear a short ring tone.

The maximum number of redial attempts is set by your Cellular Service Provider. If the phone call cannot be connected within this maximum, the message Redial Failed will be shown.
