ANSWERING A CALL

When the phone receives an incoming call, it rings and CALL flashes on the display. To answer the call, press SND. To end the call, press END.

Notes:

Your phone can receive calls even if the antenna is not extended. For optimum performance or if the signal strength becomes weak, however, extend the antenna.

If you subscribe to calling line ID service through your cellular carrier, you can view the calling party’s phone number on the phone’s display. See “Viewing/Recalling Messages” on Page 41.

If your phone receives a call but the signal strength is too weak to support it, CALL appears and the phone sounds a series of beeps. The caller hears the standard “cus- tomer not available” message. If this happens, press CLR to clear CALL from the display.

Missed Call Message

If your phone is on and receives a call, but you do not answer it, CALL appears on the display for about 15 seconds after the calling party hangs up. The next time you press any key (except CLR , END, or PWR ), CALL reappears for about 15

seconds to notify you that you missed a call.

To clear CALL from the display, press CLR or END.
