Telephone*
Important notes
ț Always drive with extreme caution
when operating the telephone hands-
free.
ț For safety reasons, the cellular phone
handset should not be used to place or
receive a call while driving.
ț If the signal is very weak (display in the
status bar):
Wait until reception improves before
placing a call.
ț Close the windows and reduce all ex-
ternal noise as much as possible when
using hands-free operation.
ț Make sure that the air vents are not
pointed in the direction of the micro-
phones located in the overhead control
panel near the rear view mirror. Adjust
air vents and/or reduce blower speed
if necessary.
ț A brief disconnection from the cellular
network is not a malfunction, as this
can occur when the network switches
areas. The phone automatically at-
tempts to again sign on with a network.
ț If the message Enter unlock code is
displayed, enter the unlock code
(
୴ page 88). Only then will you be able
to use all the telephone functions.
You will still be able to make 911 emer-
gency calls (
୴ page 85) if the tele-
phone is locked.
The telephone cannot, or not yet, be used
in the following situations:
ț The telephone is already unlocked, but
it is not yet registered with the net-
work.
The message NO SERV. appears in the
status bar. The telephone automatical-
ly attempts to register with a network.
If there is no network available, “911”
emergency calls can NOT be placed.
If you try to place an outgoing call, the
message
Call not possible is dis-
played temporarily.
ț If the message Telephone being
activated, please wait is displayed,
ț If the message Please insert phone is
displayed.
̈ Insert the cellular phone into the
telephone cradle.
