ENHANCED FEATURES

Your MVX-855/855XL Audiovox Cellular Telephone has been engineered to operate with the latest technology that will allow you to enjoy the benefit of three new exciting features:

CALLER ID: Allows you to preview the number of the Party calling you.

VOICE MAIL NOTIFICATION: Your Cellular telephone notifies you when new Voice Messages are in your voice mailbox.

SMS (Short Message Services): Your phone is able to receive and display text messages of up to 55 characters long.

(Please note that availability and operation of these features depends on the Cellular system).

Operation

CALLER ID: If your phone is ON but not in use, Caller ID operates as follows:

When the phone rings, the Calling Number appears in the phone's display During ringing, the green light flashes and the 10 digit Telephone Number of the Calling Party is displayed (Figure 1). If you do not answer the Call (by pressing the

"SEND" key) the Calling Number is stored in the phone's Memory Stack (See memory stack explanation). Also, the letters "MSG" flash at the upper right hand side of the display.

In addition to storing the Calling Numbers, your phone has an " unanswered calls counter " which counts and displays the number of unanswered calls. For example, if your phone was called twice and you did not answer these calls, " Called 02 " will appear in the phone's display (Figure 2).

Page 22

Figure 2 Call Unanswered

CALL WAITING (CALLER ID): If your phone is in use and another call is directed to your phone, a short three-beep tone alerts you of the new call and the new Calling Number appears in the display as described above. Upon viewing the new incoming Calling Number, you may choose whether or not to answer the call.

If you choose to answer the call simply press the "SEND" key. This places the first calling party on hold while allowing you to converse with the new incoming caller. (Note you may switch back and forth and converse with both calling parties by alternately pressing the " SEND" key.)

If you choose not to answer the new incoming call, the Calling number is stored in the memory stack for your retrieval at a later time. To conserve memory, if consecutive calls are received from the same number, that number is stored only once.

PRIVATE NUMBERS: When a person calling you, wishes his/her number to remain private they may dial a special code (specified by their Carrier or Telephone Company) which "restricts" their number and prevents it from being sent to your phone. In these situations, as your phone rings, it will display either " PRIVATE No " or " RES " (Figures 3a and 3b) depending on your Cellular Carrier. ( RES is short for Restricted)

Figure 3 Calls From Private/Restricted

Private/Restricted Numbers

ABSENT NUMBERS: Some Telephone Systems may be unable to deliver some Calling Numbers. In these situations the Calling Number is " unavailable " and cannot be displayed. Instead, as your phone rings, it will display either " ABSENT No " or " UNA " (short for Unavailable number) as shown in Figures 4a and 4b. 42

Note: When Calls from Absent, Unavailable, Restricted or Private Numbers are not answered. this information is not stored in the Memory Stack in order to conserve valuable memory space. However, the "unanswered calls counter" increments to indicate that the phone was called and not answered.

Figure 4 Calls From Absent or Unavailable Numbers

VOICE MAIL NOTIFICATION: When messages are left in your voice mail, your phone can be notified by your Cellular System. Two types of operation are possible depending on your Cellular System and your subscription options.

a) Normal Voice Mail Notification: When your phone is notified by the Cellular System that there are Messages in your Voice Mail, the following occurs:
- i) The phone emits two short beeps.
- ii) The letters "MSG" flash at the upper right hand side of the display.
- iii) The green light flashes.
- iv) The Memory Stack is updated as to the number of unreviewed messages in your Voice Mail.
b) Voice Mail Notification with Mail Retrieval Service (MRS). Your phone will ring and display "MRS". If you push the "SEND" button. your phone will be connected to your Voice Message Service so that you may retrieve your messages. If you do not push the "SEND" button, "MRS" will be stored in the Stack for retrieval of your messages at a later time.

SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE (SMS): When an SMS message is received, the following occurs:

i) The phone emits four short beeps.
ii) The letters " MSG " flash at the upper right hand side of the display.
iii) The green light flashes.
iv) The text message which was just received is stored in the memory stack.

Page 23

Memory Stack

The Memory Stack is used for storing Calling Numbers, Voice Mail Information and Short Messages.

Memory Stack Alert: Whenever any information, which has not been reviewed, is stored in the memory stack, the letters " MSG " flash at the upper right hand side of the display.

In addition, when information (Caller ID, SMS, Voice Mail Notification or MRS) is first received, the green light flashes until any key is pressed.

Memory Stack Storage Capacity: The Memory Stack contains 11 storage locations.

One location is used only for Voice Mail Notification or MRS (depending on your Cellular Carrier).

The remaining memory locations can be used to store either Calling Numbers (Caller ID) or text messages (SMS). Caller ID or SMS information are stored in the order they arrived.

If the memory spaces fill up, new messages will overwrite the oldest stored messages. The most recent message to be received by your phone is always in memory location 01.

Stack Retrieval: To retrieve information from the memory stack, the following three-key-stroke sequence should be used: Press ( "R/ST", Then, "*", "*").

The first memory displayed after this sequence shows the number of new voice messages in your voice mail. If there is no new Voice Mail " No V.Mail " will be displayed. If new voice mail was received the display will show " MRS " or " V.Mail xx " depending on your Cellular Carrier. The xx indicates the number of Voice Messages. As an example, if your new messages are in your voice mail " V.Mail 04 " will be displayed.

To continue to scroll through the memory locations press the key to scroll forward and the key to scroll backwards.

Calling numbers in the stack are displayed as shown in Figure 5. The "03" in this Figure represents the stack location. The CLI indicates that the information contained is Caller ID. If an asterisk should appear before the stack location number, i.e. *03. This indicates that this number has not been reviewed.

Figure 5 Calling Number stored in stack

If a memory stack location contains an SMS Message, the display will be as shown in the example of Figure 6a. As before, the 02 indicates the stack location and the "SMS" indicates an SMS message.

The "→" indicates that the message continues beyond the first display. To view the remaining part(s) of the message press "#" to scroll forward through the displays. To scroll backwards, press "*".

As shown in Figure 6c, the last part of the SMS message contains a date/time stamp which indicates the time that the message was sent. (Please note this Date/Time Stamping depends on your cellular sytem)

Figure 6 Multi-Display Message Stored in Stack

If an asterisk should appear before the stack location number, i.e. *01. This indicates that this message has not been reviewed.

Memory Stack Clearing: To clear the memory stack you must first be in the memory stack viewing mode ("R/ST", Then, "*", "*") then press " FNC", "CLR". This will clear all stack locations and also change the Voice Mail location to "No V.Mail" (Note: If you clear the stack but have not reviewed all your voice messages, your phone will soon remind you that you have voice mail as described previously.)

Note: "MSG" will clear, if you review all stack location or clear the memory stack by pressing "FNC", "CLR" in the memory stack viewing mode.

Many companies are making look-alike accessories and in some cases, promoting that their product is equal to or better than the Audiovox product. Be careful. Some of these products may not be compatible for use with your Audiovox product and may damage the unit or cause it to malfunction. If service is required on your unit, and it is determined that a non-Audiovox accessory has created the problem with your unit, the Warranty will not apply. In addition, if the unit has already suffered irreversible damage by reason of a non-compatible accessory, the Warranty will be voided. To protect your Warranty, use only compatible accessories which cannot damage or interfere with the functioning of your Audiovox product.
