Did you know... your NeoPoint 1600 phone can spell words for you?
Your NeoPoint 1600 phone incorporates Tegic’s T9 text input mode which allows
you to minimize typing on the key pad. As you type in a word, the phone starts to
give any combination of key words. You can press the next key (or the zero
button) to show you the next possible word. Tegic is used to facilitate the storing
of contact numbers, notes etc. For more information on T9, refer to “T9 Mode” on
page 14.
Did you know... you can set your NeoPoint 1600 phone to guard against
accidentally pressing keys while in your purse or pocket?
Your NeoPoint 1600 phone incorporates a feature call Keyguard. Keyguard is
different than locking your phone... it prevents your phone from accidentally
pressing unprotected keys, but is deactivated as soon as you open your flip. For
more information on setting Keyguard, refer to “Enabling Keyguard” on page 51.
Did you know... you can store up to 1000 friends, family, and business names, each
with 17 lines of information in your NeoPoint?
Your NeoPoint 1600 phone has a feature called Contacts. Each contact record
allows you to include the first and last names, title, company, five different phone
numbers, e-mail address and web site, address, and finally - additional notes. For
more information on creating a contact, refer to “Creating a New Contact Entry”
on page 58.
Did you know... you can update information in your NeoPoint or MS-Outlook (or
another compatible PIM) without retyping the same information again just by
connecting your NeoPoint to your PC?
Once you have installed the SoftSync program, connected your SoftSync cable to
your PC, you can set your NeoPoint phone to automatically update every time you
connect your NeoPoint to the cable. If you are entering information into your PC
and want to update your phone, click on the icon to transfer the data. For
more information on syncing your NeoPoint phone, refer to “Chapter 3: Syncing
Your NeoPoint Phone” on page 41. For setting your NeoPoint to automatically
sync your data, refer to “Setting Sync to Manual or Automatic” on page 71.
Did you know... you can extend your NeoPoint battery life by approximately 20% by
setting and using the Screen Save feature?
- The NeoPoint phone has a feature called Screen Save. Once activated, the LCD
will “go to sleep” 5 minutes after the last key was pressed, saving battery usage.
For more information on Screen Save, refer to “Enabling/Disabling Screen
Save” on page 71.
