Chapter 4 - Telephone

Call waiting

Call waiting is a network service which must be ac- tivated through your network operator before you can use it (see ”Telephone settings” on page 4-1).

When the voice call waiting network service is on, the network will notify you of a new incoming voice call while you have a call in progress.

If your network allows you to view the caller’s phone number, the phone number (or name) of the caller, and the text WAITING will be displayed.

To use call waiting (i.e. put one call on hold and answer the other call) from the communicator interface:

Select the incoming call and press Answer call. The previous call will be put on hold automatically.

To use call waiting from the phone interface:

• Simply press the button.

This will place the current call on hold and acti- vate the incoming call. To go back and forth be-

tween calls, press the

key.

Other settings

Call cost display — This setting turns the charge counter on or off. The counter is shown only if the network operator supports this feature.

Speakerphone when cover opened — When you have a voice call and this setting is Off, each time you open the cover, you must press the Audio on command before you can use the communicator in the handsfree mode. If you change this setting to On, the handsfree mode is activated automat- ically after the cover is opened.

Flight mode — The flight mode (Figure 4-1) pre- vents you from accidentally turning on your phone interface in an aircraft.

IMPORTANT! Never use the phone interface when in an aircraft. If the aircraft personnel allow use of the communicator interface, you MUST activate the flight mode. The flight mode will allow use of the communicator interface only and will prevent use of the phone interface.

Be aware that all communications applications (Telephone, Fax, SMS, E-mail, Internet) require use of the phone interface.

With the flight mode active, you may read pre- viously downloaded e-mail, write e-mail, notes, short messages, faxes, or update your calendar. Once you have left the aircraft, you can turn off the flight mode by pressing Exit flight mode,
