Samsung SPH-a500 Series instruction

To make all of the features available to you, your phone is designed by Samsung and your service provider to allow your service provider to send (at any time) a variety or information and messages to your phone. You may think of this as an over the air service to your phone. During an over-the-air programming session, your phone may display the following messages:

•“Search... Download” - this message means the phone is looking for the data to download.

•“Progress Download” - this message means the phone is downloading data. Do not turn your phone off while this is occurring. See the

CAUTION below.

•“Download Success” - this message means that your phone has been successfully reprogrammed. You can now continue to use your phone as you normally do.

•“Download Failed” - if this message appears contact your service provider.

CAUTION: If you turn off your phone during a download, your phone (or some features) may not work properly in the network. If this happens don’t worry, contact your service provider for help in correcting the problem.
