Making and receiving calls

Although your phone uses mobile communication technology, much effort

has be made to make basic telephone functions work like a high quality

landline phone, but with the added beneﬁt of many mobile phone features.

Important: If the network connection shows Searching... you will not

be able to successfully make or receive calls. There are many factors that

can affect network availability and for this reason, the phone should not be

considered as a fail-safe resource for making emergency calls.

To make a call by dialling

Before making a call, ensure that the standby screen is displayed:

Normal standby screen

showing the network name

big clock option enabled

Whether you are using the handset or the handsfree speaker, you can

choose to either:

• Dial ﬁrst, then pick up the handset (or press the

Handsfree button),

• Pick up the handset (or press the

Handsfree button) and then dial.

When dialling:

• Remember that this is a mobile phone, you must enter the full phone

number, including area code, even if the contact is in your area.

• To erase the last entered digit: Press and release the

Clear button.

• To erase all entered digits: Press and hold the

Clear button.

• To enter an international number, press the

button twice (a + sym-

bol will be displayed to represent the international dialling code - You

may also be able use your normal international preﬁx depending on

your SIM and location.). Then enter the country code (two or more

digits) and the remaining number (with the initial zero of the area code

removed).

• If you picked up the handset/pressed the Handsfree button ﬁrst, the

phone will begin placing the call a short time after the last digit is

pressed. The time delay (4 seconds as standard) between entering the

last digit and placing the call is determined by the

Call delay setting

- see page 30.
