Safety Information Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies: • ANSI C95.
Safety Information Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects.
Safety Information Hearing Aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Safety Information To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions. Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Getting Started Package Content Options The StarTAC™ phone comes equipped with a standard battery and an AC adapter to get you up and running. A whole new line of accessory options, now smaller and lighter than ever, can customize your wireless package for maximum performance and portability.

Using Memory Do you have places to go and people to see? Too many phone numbers to remember? Let your phone remember them for you. Your phone’s internal Phone Book can store up to 99 names and numbers for easy access on the go. In this chapter you will learn how to: • store names and numbers into the Phone Book. • recall phone numbers from memory. • dial in a flash with the Super Speed Dial and Turbo Dial™ functions. • simplify automated calling systems and credit card calls.
Making the Most of Memory Using Memory Each phone number is stored in a “memory location” numbered 01-99. You can arrange your Phone Book for convenient recall by storing related numbers in groups of ten. For example, store your ten most frequently called numbers in locations 01-09, then you can use the Turbo Dial™ keys to call them with the push of a key. You could store business phone numbers in locations 10-19, family numbers in 20-29, friends in 30-39, and so on.
Storing Names and Numbers To take advantage of the internal Phone Book, you’ll first want to store some names and numbers into memory. Your phone’s dedicated ¬ key makes storing quick and easy. Tip: The “ § ” symbol in your display represents the Smart Button – a. 1. Enter Number Enter the phone number you want to store. 2. Begin Storing Press ¬ to begin storing. You will see: Location——. 3. Enter Location or Select First Empty Enter the two-digit memory location where you want the entry stored.
Entering Names When the display shows Alpha Or Press §, you can use the keypad to produce any letter in the alphabet. Press any key to scroll through the letters printed on the key and use the volume keys to switch between upper and lowercase. For example, press ¤ to enter the letters “A,” “B,” or “C” as shown: abc Using Memory 2 press 1 time to insert an "A" press 2 times to insert a "B" press 3 times to insert a "C" press 4 times to insert a "2" To enter a name into the Phone Book: 1.
Recall from Memory Recall by Name Once you have stored names and numbers, you can recall them alphabetically and immediately place calls. With one press of the Smart Button you have instant access to the name directory. What could be easier? Press a to enter your name directory. 1. Enter Directory 2. Scroll to Name or Search for Name Press q or looking for. z to scroll to the name you are Enter the first letter of the name. (See page 39 for details on entering letters.
Recall from Memory Recall by Memory Location Each name and number you store is placed in a memory location numbered 01-99. Once you have stored names and numbers, you can recall them by memory location. 2. Enter Location Enter the two-digit memory location of the phone number you are looking for. 3. Place Call Press & hold a or press æ to call the number you selected. You will see: Calling. 4. End Call Press º or close the phone. or Press & hold a until you hear a high tone.

Place Call Press & hold a or press æ to call the number you selected. The number stored in the memory location you entered will be dialed. You will see: Calling. Note: If you enter the number of an empty location, you will see: Location XX Is Empty.
Scratchpad If you need to take a quick note, but you don’t necessarily want to save the number, use the Scratchpad, which always remembers the last phone number that was on your phone’s display. The Scratchpad is especially helpful if you are on the phone and your party gives you another number to call. Enter the number with the keypad. (The person on the line will hear tones as you dial.) 2. Store Number or End Call Press ¬ and continue storing with step 3 on page 38. & Place Call Press pad.
Pause Dialing When you call automated systems like Voice Mail or bank by phone, a recorded message prompts you for PIN numbers, account numbers, etc. Pause Dialing can make using automated systems easy by allowing you to store these numbers in the same memory location as the automated system’s access number. Just separate each set of numbers with a “pause”– a special character that tells your phone to wait before sending additional numbers.
Using Pause Dialing Once stored, simply recall the entry and place the call. All of the digits you’ve stored will be recalled, but your phone will only send the tones for the set of numbers before the first pause. Enter the two-digit memory location where you stored your Pause Dialing number and press & hold a or press æ. Your phone will dial the access number and wait for your input when it reaches the first pause. 2.
Using Calling Cards Storing Calling Card Numbers Number Characters are yet another way your phone can save you time in dialing. The Number Character saves a place in the memory sequence for whatever number you’re calling when you use your calling card. If you use the Number Character along with Pause Dialing, using your calling card will be as simple as a few keystrokes. 1. Enter Access Number Enter the phone number you use to access your calling card system, usually a 1-800 phone number.
Placing a Calling Card Call Once you’ve stored your calling card information, just recall the information and place the call whenever you want to use your calling card. Before your phone begins dialing, it will prompt you for the number you want to call. Once you’ve entered the number, your phone will automatically insert the number in place of the Number Character you stored. Press ‰ then enter the location number where your calling card sequence is stored. 2. Enter Number Press æ.
