General Functions
Answering a Call
When somebody calls you, the phone rings and the phone
icon in the middle of the screen is displayed.
If the caller can be identified, the caller’s phone number (or
name if pre-stored in your Phone Book) is displayed. If the
caller cannot be identified, only the phone icon appears.
1. To answer a call, open the flip cover. If the flip is already
open, press any key except for key.
If the Answer Mode menu (7-4) is set to Send=Answer
option, you can answer a call only by pressing key.
2. End the call by closing the flip cover or pressing key.
Note: You can answer a call while using the phone book or
menu features. Your setting will be canceled.
Viewing Missed Calls
If you are unable to answer a call for any reason, you can find
out who was calling you, if this service is available. In this
way, you can call the person back simply by pressing
key, if necessary.
The number of missed calls is displayed on the idle screen
immediately after the call was missed.
To view the missed call, refer to ‘Incoming’ (1-2) under
‘Calls’ on page 33.
In-call Options
Your phone provides a number of functions that you can use
during a call. You may not utilize all of these functions at all
times. Many of the in-call options are network services.
Press key during a call to access the following
in-call options:
Calls: allows you to access the Calls menu.
Phone Book: allows you to access the Phone Book menu.
Mute/Unmute: allows you to switch your phone’s microphone
off, so that the other party cannot hear you.
Example: You wish to say something to another person in the
room but do not want the other party to hear you.
Silent Key: does not transmit the key tones. It allows you to
press keys without hearing annoying key tones
during a call.
Note: To communicate with answering machines or
computerized telephony systems, the Silent keys
option must be disabled.
Version: allows you to view the software and hardware
version of your phone.
Send Tel #: sends DTMF tones of your number.
SEND: sends DTMF tones of the currently displayed number.
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) tones can be used
to control electronic phone services such as bank-by-
phone or voicemail. During a call, key in the digits you
want to send as DTMF tones, for example, the bank
account number and password. Then select this in-call
option.
