Making and Receiving Phone Calls 22
Making a Phone Call
To make a phone call, your phone must be switched on and unlocked.
It will not be possible to make a phone call unless you are in an area where there is a GSM900 or
1800 service. When a service has been found, a series of rising bars,
x , will show the
signal strength.
There are a number of different ways to make a phone call:
• Using the digit keys.
• Using automatic redial.
• Redialling the last number called.
• One-touch dialling a Phone Book entry*.
• Dialling a Phone Book entry*.
• Calling an embedded number in a message.
• Using the Smart button ( = ).
A *Your phone contains a ’phone book’ that can be used to store names and telephone
numbers. See ‘What is the Phone Book?’ for further details.
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 the C key to remove the last digit.
Holding the C key down will remove the entire number.
Your phone will then attempt to make the phone call. The display will show Calling to show
the call attempt is being made. If the call is not answered, pressing O , or closing the flip
(models with flip only), at this point will end the attempt.
When the phone call is answered, the display will change to
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.
Redialling the Last Number Called
i When in standby mode, press OO .
Alternatively, you can retrieve the last number dialled using the ‘Last Ten Calls’ feature in the
Phone Book menu.
j One-Touch Dialling Phone Book Numbers
To quickly retrieve and dial a number stored in the first nine locations of your Phone Book # , press
and hold the appropriate digit key. For example, pressing and holding 2 will dial the phone
number stored in location 2 of your Phone Book.
A You do not need to press O to call the number.
# The Phone Book entries that you are able to access will depend on the One-Touch Dial
Setting option in the Phone Book menu.
