Phone operation

Turning the phone function on and off

If you have turned the phone function off, removed and then reinstalled the SIM card, the
connection to your mobile service provider’s network is not automatically enabled. You
have the option to just use the device’s EDA features or you can re-establish the mobile
service connection.
IMPORTANT: In many countries it is required by law to turn off cell phones when
boarding commercial flights. Turning off your MC35 does not turn off the device’s phone
function; you must use the Wireless Manager to turn off the phone.
