Answer calls

Answer or silence an incoming call

Press the End key to reject the call.

Press Silence to mute the ringing tone, then press Dismiss, or do nothing, and the call is eventually forwarded to voicemail.

A long press of the Voice/shutter key answers an incoming call with the loudspeaker.

Your phone answers an incoming call when you open the fold. This is the default setting, but you can change the setting so that the phone will not answer calls when the fold is opened.

In the standby mode, select Menu > Settings > Call settings > Answer when fold is opened > On or Off.

Adjust the earpiece volume

Press the Up arrow or Down arrow on the volume key located on the left side of your phone to adjust the volume of the earpiece.

When adjusting the volume, a bar chart appears in the display indicating the volume level.

Answer a call with the keypad locked

To answer a call with the keypad locked, simply press the Send key with fold open. To answer a call with the fold closed and with the keypad locked, press and hold the Voice/shutter key to answer with the loudspeaker. During the call, all features function as normal. When you end or reject the call, the keypad automatically re-locks. See "Keyguard," p. 20 for details.

When the keypad lock is on, calls still may be possible to the official emergency number programmed into your device.

Key in the emergency number and press the Send key.
