World representative for use on the Bell Mobility network. You should have
the following information :

i. Mobile Number

ii. Voice mail password (4-digit number)

Setting up the Connection:



Make sure your wireless connection is enabled before you start (this will
allow you to use the phone and access data). To do so, you must ensure
that your connection reads Flight Mode OFF.

What is Flight Mode?

On all airplane flights, you are requested to turn off your wireless device.
When you are getting ready for take-off, you should enable Flight Mode.
Therefore, when your PPC-5050 has Flight Mode ON, it means that your
phone has been turned off. In this mode you will still be able to access
offline information including Calendar, Contacts, etc. and will also help
conserve battery power since the device is not being used for wireless
access.

When Flight Mode is OFF, your phone is turned on and you are able to
make calls and access data (i.e. Internet & E-mail). Your Flight Mode
should always be OFF unless you need to completely shut down your
device.

To turn Flight Mode ON, which turns your phone off, tap the icon
and then tap ‘Turn ON Flight Mode’.
