Making calls from the
Home screen
Your smartphone offers several ways to
make phone calls from the Home screen.
Dialling from the Home screen
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Make sure your
phone is on and that you’re inside a
coverage area (see Turning your phone on
).
1 Press Home .
2 Using the numbered keys and the +,*,
and # keys on the keyboard, enter a
phone number.
3 Press Phone/Send to dial.
NOTE You do not need to press Option to
access the numbers on the keyboard.
However, when dialling short numbers, the
number may conflict with a contact name.
If this occurs, press Option to avoid
starting a contact lookup. For emergencies,
you can dial your national emergency
number (such as 911 or 112) without
pressing Option first.
TIP You can change the time interval for the
period of inactivity that takes place before the
screen turns off. Press Home, press Start
(left softkey), navigate to the My Settings
content list, and then press All Settings (right
softkey). Select More, and then select Power
Management. Select the Display time out
list and specify how many minutes the screen
stays on during a period of inactivity.
DID YOU KNOW ? When you're dialling a phone
number, you can enter +, *, or # without first
pressing Option. You can also press P to
pause. This makes it easy to respond to
further dialling instructions.
