Making and Receiving Phone Calls 24 English
Making a Phone Call
To make a phone call, your phone must be switched on,
unlocked and have the antenna fully extended.
It will not be possible to make a phone call unless you are in an
area where there is GSM service. When a service has been found,
a series of rising bars,
x, will show the signal strength.
There are a number of ways to make a phone call:
• Using the digit keys.
• Using automatic redial.
• Dialling numbers from the Phone Book*:
using one-touch (turbo) dialling,
using an entry from a location,
using an entry of a name,
using one of the last ten numbers called.
• Calling an embedded number in a message.
A *Your phone contains a 'phone book' that can be used to
store names and telephone numbers. See
OWhat is the
Phone Book? for further details.
Keypad Digits
The simplest method of making a phone call is to enter the
number using the digit keys, then press
O.
A If you make a mistake, press and release C to remove the
last digit. Holding C down will remove the entire
number.
The display will show Calling when the call is being made. If
there is no answer, press
O, or close the phone to end the
call.
When the call is answered, the display will change to
Connected for a few seconds, followed by End Call?.
To end your call press
O, or close the phone.
Automatic Redial
If your call attempt does not succeed, the message Redial? will
be displayed for five seconds. Pressing
O at this point will
automatically redial the phone number.
When the call is answered, you will hear a short ring tone.
The maximum number of redial attempts is set by your Cellular
Service Provider. If the phone call cannot be connected within
this maximum, the message Redial Failed will be shown.
