LET’S GET STARTED
You can start using your Omnipoint phone by following these
simple steps. Here’s all you have to do.
>First, Charge Your Battery. Plug the Travel Charger into
any 120V AC outlet. Plug the cord into the adaptor. Snap the
adaptor onto the bottom of your handset. Turn on the handset
by pressing and holding the key. The battery is fully
charged when the indicator shows solid black. (See p. 13 for
additional information on battery charging – and for
important safety information, see your Ericsson User’s
Manual.)
>Watch The “Getting Started” Video. It’s a great
introduction to the benefits of your 100% digital service, your
handset and the feature packages that are available.
>Read The Omnipoint “Who & Why” and “How
Much” Pricing Plan brochures.You’ll get a quick review
of the features, benefits, and pricing that make Omnipoint
service so attractive.

handset to let you know that you’re ready to make calls on the
Omnipoint network.
ALL THE BASICS
A Suggestion For Your First Call.
After you’ve activated your Omnipoint account, one of the first calls
you make should be to personalize your Answering Machine. All calls
to your Answering Machine will be charged at the Off-Peak rate.
Here’s how to set up your Answering Machine:
• Dial , then press to place your
call.
• Listen and follow each recorded instruction to create your
password and to record your name and your personal
greeting.
• Press when finished. Now your Answering Machine
is ready to answer your calls when you can’t answer, you’re
busy with another call, or your phone is powered off or out
of the Omnipoint coverage area. (See p. 23 for more
information.)
Now you’re ready to begin using your Omnipoint handset.
The following pages will explain all the basic handset functions,
including how to send and receive calls.
These are the topics we’ll cover:
• Your handset features and functions.
• How to use your handset keypad.
• The information displayed on your handset.
• How to make and receive calls.
• How to charge your handset battery.
• Removing and replacing your battery.
• Your SIM Card.
Your Ericsson User’s Manual.
This Omnipoint User Guide covers basic information on operating
your Ericsson handset.
But you’ll need to know equally important safety information before
using your handset. And there’s also a lot more you can do to
customize the operation of your handset, including special memory
and menu functions.
For complete reference to all handset safety information and
operating features, see the handy Ericsson User’s Manual that comes
in this kit.

YOUR HANDSET
YOUR KEYPAD
Your Ericsson handset might look like a cellular phone, but it’s
different. It’s digital – and it does more.
Your handset lets you make and receive calls. It also lets you receive
messages, in both text and numeric form. And it lets you send and
receive short e-mail messages. To do all this, your handset is
equipped with these special features:
>Keypad. The familiar number keys you’ll find on any phone
– but these also let you type text messages and enter personal
phone book data in your handset memory.
>Power/Calling Keys. Let you turn power on/off, place a
call, and “hang up” to end your call.
>Menu Keys. Scroll through menus and your personal
information and perform special functions.
>Display. The screen that displays text messages, phone
numbers and operating indicators.
>Battery Indicator Light. Blinks green when your handset
is on and you’re in the Omnipoint coverage area; blinks red to
indicate low battery power.
>Rechargeable Battery. Slides easily onto the back of your
handset.
In addition to the standard alphanumeric keypad found on all
phones, your Ericsson handset also has keys that let you perform
special functions.
Here’s a review of the basics.
> : Press to connect a call after you’ve entered a phone
number. Also:
• Press to answer a call.
• Press to place a call on hold and
answer an incoming call or to
switch from an active call to a call
on hold.
• Press to select a menu function and
confirm a menu selection.
> : Press to terminate a call.
• Press to back-up to a higher level
menu.
• Also functions to turn your phone
on and off; press and hold, and the
display lights or turns off. (Note:
on CF337, use the PWRkey to turn
your handset on and off.)
>SIM Card Holder. Folds out from the back of your handset
to hold your SIM Card. The battery must be removed to open
your SIM Card Holder.
5
> : Deletes information from your
screen.
• Press once to delete the last
character.
• Press and hold to clear the screen.
• Press and hold to exit from all menus.

YOUR DISPLAY
>Arrows: The Left/Right arrow keys scroll through menus and
memories. These keys also let you raise or lower the volume on
your handset earpiece during a call.
> , : The “Star” and “Pound” keys let you enter
special characters and execute commands.
Keylock.
There’s an easy way to lock your keypad to prevent accidental key
presses – for example, if your handset is in your pocket.
Just press the left ARROW key and hold it until you reach “Keylock
on.” Press to lock your keypad.
Your keypad unlocks automatically when you answer a call, turn your
handset off, or replace the battery. It can also be unlocked by
pressing the left ARROW key and .
The display screen on your Ericsson handset can tell you a lot –
and help you use menu and memory functions to do some pretty
amazing things.
Here’s what the display symbols mean.
>Signal Strength Bar: Signal strength where you are. The
more displayed bars, the stronger the signal. As long as you see
“OMNIPOINT” in the display, you have a signal strong enough
to make a call.
>Battery Bar: Battery power status. A “full” battery bar
means full charge; an “empty” battery bar means battery must
be recharged.
>Message Area: Displays commands, prompts, and text
messages as you use your handset. Also displays the network
you are using, phone numbers as you dial them, and the time
elapsed during your call.
>Time: Displays the current time in standard (AM/PM) or 24-
hour format (for example, 9:00 AMis 0900; 9:00 PMis 2100).
Also displays the alarm time when you set the handset alarm.
>Envelope Symbol: Indicates that your handset has received
a message. The message symbol flashes if your text message
storage capacity is full.

PLACING & RECEIVING CALLS
Using Menus.
As you use your handset, menus can be displayed to let you perform a
wide range of important functions.
To bring up menus, press the (left or right) ARROWkey and hold
down (or repeatedly press) until the menu you want is on display.
Then press to select the menu.

Now you’re ready for the good part: how simple and satisfying it
is to use your Omnipoint handset.

“roaming” service is expanding rapidly.

Omnipoint coverage area, even if other outgoing calls are restricted.

CHARGING YOUR BATTERY
The rechargeable battery that comes with your Ericsson handset
gives you about 125 minutes of continuous talk time – or up to
20 hours of standby time.
The first few times you charge a new battery, let it charge fully. When
you use your handset, let the battery discharge completely before
recharging it again.
To charge your battery:
>Plug the Travel Charger into any wall socket.
>Plug the cord into the adaptor.
>Snap the adaptor onto the bottom of your handset.
>You must leave the handset on when using the travel charger
that comes with your handset.
>The battery is fully charged when the indicator shows solid
black.
When your battery needs recharging:
>You’ll hear a warning tone.
>If you keep talking, you will have a minute or so to finish your
conversation. The Battery Indicator light on top of the handset
will show blinking red. When battery power is exhausted, the
handset will turn itself off. It will not power up again until the
battery is recharged.
Notes On Batteries.
See your Ericsson User’s Manual for complete details on proper use
and care of your batteries, battery charging and other important
safety information.
Various types of rechargeable batteries are available for your Ericsson
handset. Use only approved batteries, chargers, and accessories.
(See p. 55 for other battery options, including high-capacity batteries
and battery chargers that reduce charging time.)
>The “Battery Low” message will appear for 10 seconds on the
handset display. The Battery Indicator light on the top of the
handset will begin blinking red.
