Receiving a Phone Call
To receive a phone call:
•Your phone must be switched on and unlocked.
•You must be in an area where there is PCS service.
•Your Call Forwarding and Call Barring settings should not be set to forward or bar incoming calls.
When your phone receives a call, it will ring or vibrate. To answer a call, extend the antenna, then open the phone.
If you wish to open the phone without answering calls, set Key Answer Only to On. Then, if your network offers Caller Line Identification and you are a subscriber, you can open your phone to review the number or name of the caller before you answer. To answer a call with Key Answer Only activated, press O, 1 through 9, or >. To reject the call, press C.
Your phone automatically searches your Phone Book for the caller’s number. If the number matches an entry in your Phone Book, the name associated with the number is displayed instead.
To answer the call, press O. If Key Answer Only is active, you can also press 1through 9or >.
If your phone is open and you do not want to answer the call, you can:
•Press and release C.
The caller is either sent to a forwarding number (see ‘Detailed Forwarding’ on page 40) or hears a busy tone.
or
•Press and hold C. This will reject the incoming call. No call forwarding option will be offered in this case.
If your phone rings and you do not answer it, the message Unanswered Call will be displayed the next time you open the phone, so that you know someone tried to call you.
AIf you subscribe to CLI, you can view the names or numbers of your unanswered calls in the Last 10 Calls Received list.
