1. For Your Safety Read these simple guidelines before using your phone. Failure to comply with these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal. For more detailed safety information, see “Important Safety Information” on page 81. Road Safety Comes First Don’t use a hand-held phone while driving; park the vehicle first. Switch Off In Hospitals Switch off your phone when near medical equipment. Follow any regulations or rules in force. Switch Off On Aircraft Mobile phones can cause interference.
Qualified Service Only qualified service personnel may install or repair cellular phone equipment. Use only approved accessories and batteries. FCC/Industry Canada Notice A cellular phone may cause TV or radio interference (e.g. when using a phone in close proximity to electronic receiving equipment). The FCC/Industry Canada can require you to stop using your cellular phone if such interference cannot be eliminated. If you require assistance, please contact your local service facility.
2. Display Indicators Shows which type of system the phone will use when it is roaming (see “Carrier Selection (Menu 5 1 1)” on page 45.) Blank if Home-only system is selected, or the phone is using a “preferred” network. The phone is using the Home system. Flashes if the phone is using a Home type system (not the Home system) or when the phone is using a “preferred” network (see “Carrier Selection (Menu 5 1 1)” on page 45). Blank if the phone is using a non-preferred network. A call is in progress.
Signal Strength Indication A cellular phone sends and receives radio signals. As with all radio equipment, the quality of radio reception depends on the strength of the radio signal in the area where you are operating your phone. The strength of the cellular signal is shown by the vertical bar on the left-hand side of the display. The higher the bar, the stronger the signal at your present location.
3. Battery Information Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. See “Important Battery Information” on page 10. See your cellular service provider or dealer for the battery options available for your phone.
Charging the Battery Plug the charger into a wall outlet and connect the charger to the bottom of your phone. When charging starts, the battery segments scroll and the phone beeps once. You can use the phone during charging, but charging will be reduced for the duration of the call. Note: In a call, charging will stop completely if you are using the Standard Travel Charger (ACP-7U). After the segments of the battery indicator stop scrolling and all segments are displayed, the battery is fully charged.
Charging Times The battery charging times shown in the following table are approximate. Battery BMH-3 Extended NiMH 1150 mAh BMH-8 Ultra Extended NiMH 1580 mAh BML-8 Ultra Extended Vibra NiMH 1580 mAh Standard Travel Charger ACP-7U Rapid Travel Charger ACP-9U Rapid Cig. Lighter Charger LCH-9 5 hours 1 hour, 30 min. 1 hour, 30 min. 7 hours 2 hours, 30 min. 2 hours, 30 min.
Talk and Standby Times Battery operation times depend greatly on how you use the batteries, as well as on the coverage of the network and network parameters set by the cellular service provider. Battery BMH-3 Extended NiMH 1150 mAh BMH-8 Ultra Extended NiMH 1580 mAh BML-8 Ultra Extended Vibra NiMH 1580 mAh Talk Time Standby Time up to 2 hours up to 39 hours up to 3 hours up to 58 hours Discharging the Battery A battery lasts longer and performs better if you fully discharge it from time to time.
Battery Low Warning You get this message and a warning tone when the battery charge is low and only a few minutes of talk time remain. The repetition rate of the battery-low warnings depends on the remaining battery capacity and the battery condition. The warnings are more frequent when you’re in a call. Note: If you’ve selected the Vibra Only or Silent Ringing Option, you won’t hear any warning tones. See “Ringing Options (Menu 3 1)” on page 37.
During this 30 minutes, the phone is in ‘Deep Discharge’ mode. The way to ‘wake up’ the phone is to connect it to a charger. 3 Fully charge the battery after Deep Discharge. The phone may remind you to discharge the battery, by presenting a series of battery-advice messages. Press ! or OK to page through the information, or press CLR to clear the messages.
• Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge: allow it to cool down or warm up first. • Use the battery only for its intended purpose. • Never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn out. • Do not short circuit the battery.
4. The Basics Switching On or Off • Press and hold the PWR key for one second. NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder. TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: Extend your antenna fully when in calls. As with any other radio transmitting device, avoid unnecessary contact with the antenna when the phone is switched on.
Note: The wake-up message is specific to your currently selected phone number. Selecting a Network Your phone operates on specific networks and sometimes it must choose which system to use. This can happen, for example, if you are roaming (i.e. you leave the area where you have signed up for service). If you want your phone to work only in certain types of networks (for example, to take advantage of certain billing agreements between systems), you can specify this using “Carrier Selection (Menu 5 1 1)”.
CALL NOT ALLOWED appears if you try to make a call that is restricted (see “Allowed Calls (Menu 5 1 2)” on page 48), or if the phone is locked. If you receive a call when you’re trying to make a call, the incoming call comes through and the outgoing call is cancelled. Ending a Call • Press END. Note: If you press and hold END, you’ll activate Keyguard (see “Keyguard” on page 17). Answering a Call • Press SEND or any key except END or the PWR key.
You can answer a call any time, even while using Keyguard, memory or menu functions. If you don’t answer a call, the message 1 MISSED CALL or ‘n’ MISSED CALLS appears on the display and remains until you press any key (except the PWR key) to clear the display, or you can press OK or ! to view the Missed Calls List. The phone automatically stores the caller’s number (if available) in the Missed Calls list (see “Missed Calls (Menu 2 3)” on page 34).
See “Dialed Calls (Menu 2 1)” on page 33 for more information. Speed Dialing • Dial the number of the memory location (1-75) where the phone number is stored, then press SEND. You can also enter a stored name then press SEND. The phone dials the number stored with that name. If the memory location is empty, the message LOCATION EMPTY appears.
Note: Official emergency numbers vary by location (e.g., 911 or another official emergency number). However, only one emergency number is programmed into your phone to be dialed automatically by Emergency 9 Dialing, and this may not be the proper number in all circumstances. Note: Emergency 9 Dialing does not operate when Keyguard is activated. However, an emergency call can be made without deactivating Keyguard by entering the whole emergency number programmed into your phone and then pressing SEND.
Note: When Keyguard is activated, calls may be possible to the emergency number programmed into your phone (e.g., 911 or another official emergency number). However, Emergency 9 Dialing does not operate. Making an Emergency Call with Keyguard Active • Enter the emergency number preprogrammed in your phone and press SEND. The emergency number is displayed only after you have entered the last digit of the number.
3 When you hear a tone or voice prompt, press OK or SEND. The phone may ask you again to WAIT FOR TONE, THEN PRESS ‘OK’. 4 If you get another tone or voice prompt, press SEND again. The call is then made, and the phone displays CARD CALL and the name of the card (if you have entered one). It is also possible to make manual card calls by using Touch Tones (DTMF) through your Calling Card Operator. To do this, see “In-Call Menu” on page 63, and “Sending Touch Tones” on page 66.
Making PIN Calls 1 Make the call as usual (refer to “Making a Call” on page 13). The phone displays PIN CALL. 2 After you hear a tone, press SEND again. The phone displays SENDING PIN ... . If the message remains on the display, press SEND again to resend the PIN code. Wait for your call to be connected. Note: If you’re in a network that doesn’t support PIN Calls, but your phone has PIN Call On, the phone still tries to send a PIN. Press CLR to end the PIN Call attempt.
What is Debit Mode? To activate your phone through TRACFONE® prepaid service, call the toll free number on the card included with this Owner’s Manual. If you activate your phone through TRACFONE prepaid service, see “Debit (Menu 8)” on page 55 for information on the features available. Important note: You cannot activate your phone through TRACFONE if you already have an existing cellular service contract.
5. The Phone Book The Phone Book can store up to 75 phone numbers and corresponding names. It also has a “notepad” where you can store one additional number and name. The maximum number of phone book entries depends on how much information you store in each location. Stored phone numbers can be up to 32 digits long, and stored names can be up to 30 characters long. See “Memory Location 75” on page 24 for an important note about Memory Location 75.
