Accessories
Hands-Free Vehicle Kit
A hands-free kit is available for vehicular use of your phone.
The kit incorporates a complete system for hands-free
usage, powering the phone from the vehicle’s battery, and
recharging the standard or slimline battery attached to the
phone. An external antenna can be used for better radio
communication.
When the phone rests in the holder, the internal microphone
and earpiece are disabled. Instead, an external microphone
and an external loudspeaker are used.
The hands-free feature allows you to make or answer calls
without removing the phone from the holder. You can
comfortably have a telephone conversation and still have
both hands on the wheel.
Service Available indicator
The indicator light on the top edge of the phone shows a
steady green light when service is available from a GSM
network.
Battery charging
When the phone is ON, the attached battery is charged. In
the meantime, a ‘‘C’’ (Charging) is shown on the right of
the display (instead of the battery meter), to indicate that
charging is in progress.
When the battery is fully charged, ‘‘FC’’ (Fully Charged)
comes on.
Illumination
The display and keypad are illuminated as long as the
phone is ON. You can, however, turn the illumination OFF
with Special Function No. 5, Back Light. Refer to the
chapter Special Functions.
Operation
When the phone is used with the hands-free system, its
operation is essentially the same as described earlier in this
manual. However, there are some points to be noted.
Any Key facility
If you turn ON Special Function No. 15, Any Key, you can
press any key except the Power key to answer a call. Refer
to the chapter Special Functions.
