Data Mode
Data Mode can be used when your phone is connected, via a suitable data card and modem, to a laptop or personal computer. You may then use your computer to make and receive calls, and to send and receive data messages such as emails.
Follow these steps before using Data Mode:
•Ensure your phone is switched on, and that the battery has enough charge for the duration of your data calls.
•Ensure that you are receiving a strong signal (see sig- nal strength indicator on the display).
•Ensure that your computer is switched on, and is fitted with a data card.
•Connect the data cable to the data card, and to your phone.
To select Data Mode
Connect the data cable to your phone (DATA CARD CONNECTED displays). When in a call, with the data cable connected, the phone displays DATA CALL.
In a data call, the keys on the phone don’t work except for (1'; when not in a call, all keys work. Also, the micro- phone and earpiece don’t work in a data call.
Important! When you are in Data Mode, do not switch off the phone. Do not move the phone, or use it in a moving vehicle (data will be lost if you move from one cell to another).
