Congratulations…

…and thank you for choosing the S 868, a mobile phone specially suited for the demanding user of communication tools. Retaining the slim, streamlined size that has become associated with the Ericsson family of phones, the S 868 sets a new standard for others to follow.

Apart from its unique toughness and extraordinary sound quality, the S 868 supports Dual band operation, which extends the potential for efficient network usage. Especially if you frequently use your phone in urban areas or travel abroad.

Like the other phones from Ericsson, the S 868 is produced to meet the highest quality standards.

This guide introduces you to your S 868 and shows you how to get the most out of it. Before you start, please read the ‘Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use’.

Please note that some of the functions and services described in this user’s guide are depending on your choice of network operator. Should you needadditional information onhow to use them, contact your operator.

Mobile Internet

When you are on the move and in need of communication and information, Mobile Internet is the answer.

Mobile Internet is a service supplied by Ericsson to facilitate easy communications and rapid information retrieval, wherever you are. It gives you access to on-line customer services, on-line user manuals, and useful information when you are out travelling. It allows you to download various communication software which will ensure youachieve optimum resultsfrom your Ericsson products.

If you run into any problems, there are help texts connected to the different Mobile Internet pages.

The Internet address to Mobile Internet is

http://mobile.ericsson.com/mobileinternet

To get access to the service you also need a user id and a password. The first time you log on, please use the following:

User Id: mobile Password: internet Note that you must change user id and password the

first time you log on to Mobile Internet.

General Information

Operators & Subscription

To be able to use your phone, you need to have a subscription to a network. This is obtained from the network operator.

The services included in your subscription depend on your choiceof operator and/or subscription. Therefore, some of the services and functions described in this manual may not be accessible to you. If you want a complete list of the services included in your subscription, please contact your network operator.

GSM 900/1800 Dual Band

The Ericsson S 868 is a dual band phone, which means that you can use your phone in two different kinds of networks – the GSM 900 and the GSM 1800 (also called PCN or DCS 1800) systems.

The GSM 1800 system is practically the same as the GSM 900 system. The difference between the two is that they use different frequencies. GSM 900 uses 900 MHz frequency, whereas GSM 1800 uses 1800 MHz.

A dual band phone that combines the two standards can use both frequencies. This considerably increases

Not for Commercial Use

capacity in densely populated urban areas, and consequently improves the coverage offered by your network operator. It will also offer you enhanced international roaming, thanks to the additional networks now available when you are out travelling.

The switching between the two systems is done automatically and seamlessly, which means that you can use your phone without ever having to consider which

system is best at the time. This is taken care of by the networks. However, you should note that the functions offered and the network coverage differ depending on your choice of operator and/or subscription.

SIM & PIN

You will obtain a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card with your subscription. The SIM card contains a computer chip that keeps track of your phone number, the services you have ordered from your network operator and yourPhone Book information, among other things.

Your SIM card is supplied with a security code or PIN (Personal Identity Number), which you need in order to gain access to the network. Your PIN may also be required when you want to change settings in your phone. Furthermore, some operators may have services that require a second PIN, your PIN2. You will find your PIN (and PIN2) in the information from your operator.

Every time you turn on your phone, it prompts you to enter your PIN. If the PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card will be blocked. If this happens you can unlock it by using your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key code), which you also get from your operator.

You shouldbe careful with your PIN, since it is your protection against unauthorized use of your phone and subscription.

2 Press to enter the menu system. See inside the cover.

Ericsson Mobile Communications AB

Preparing Your Phone for Use

The SIM Card

When you register as a subscriber with a network operator, you obtain a SIM card.

SIM cards come in two sizes. One is the size of a credit card, and the other is considerably smaller (about the size of a regular stamp). The S 868 uses the smaller card. Many operators deliver credit card sized SIM cards which have a perforated smaller card that you can take out easily.

Before you can use your phone, you must insert the SIM card into the phone.

To Insert the SIM Card

To insert the SIM card, remove the battery (if attached) and follow these steps:

Not for Commercial Use



Release the SIM card holder by sliding it in the direction of the arrow.



Open the holder.



Slide the SIM card into the holder. Make certain that the cut corner is top right.

Press to enter the menu system. See inside the cover. 3

The Battery

To Attach the Battery to the Phone:

Not for Commercial Use

 Close the holder.

 Lock the holder by

pressing it down and sliding it in the direction of the arrow in the picture.

Your mobile phone comes with a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The battery is not charged when you buy your phone, but there may be enough power to turn on the phone. We recommend that you charge the battery before you use the phone.

Place the battery on the back of the phone.

  Press the battery upwards and against the

phone until it snaps into place.

To Remove the Battery

Make sure that the phone is turned off before removing the battery (see next chapter). Then:

 Press the catch on

the bottom of the battery.

 Lift the battery up

and away from the phone.

To Charge the Battery

Make sure that the battery is attached to the phone. Then:

 Connect the charger to the mains. (The box may

contain more than one mains plug. In this case, use the one that fits the wall socket.)

4 Press to enter the menu system. See inside the cover.

Ericsson Mobile Communications AB

A green indicator on the charger lights up. If not, make sure you have put the plug into the charger correctly. (You may have to press hard.)

 Connect the clear plastic plug on the charger

cable to the charger. It is correctly inserted when it snaps into place.

The phone will automatically start charging the battery when you attach the charger. To indicate charging:

• the battery meter in the display is continuously filled and emptied.

• the indicator on top of the phone shows a steady red light (green, if the phone is turned on).

When the battery is fully charged, the battery meter in the display will show full and the indicator on top of the phone will show a steady green light.

Note! It is possible to usethe phone while the battery is being

charged. This will, however, increase the charging time.

To Disconnect the Charger

 Connect the other

end of the cable to the phone according to the picture. The flash symbol on the plug must face upwards. Note that you

Not for Commercial Use

may have to press hard.

When to Charge the Battery

The nickel metal hydride battery that comes with your phone can be charged whenever you wish without losing performance. This is not the case with the cheaper nickel cadmium type batteries, often sold as accessories from other suppliers. For optimal talk and standby time in the long run, we recommend that you only use Ericsson original batteries with your S 868.

To remind you that the battery will soon need to be charged or replaced with a charged one:

l Twist the plug con-

nected to the phone upwards and pull it out.

Press to enter the menu system. See inside the cover. 5

Ericsson Mobile Communications AB

• an alarm signal (a long beep) sounds and the message ‘Battery low’ appears for ten seconds in the display.

• the indicator light on top of the phone starts blinking red.

Note! If the phone is left turned on, the low battery alarm will

be repeated several times and, finally, the phone will turn itself off when the battery is no longer able to power it satisfactorily. It might be possible to turn the phone on again, but you will not be able to make or receive any calls. You should charge the battery or replace it with a charged one.

If youenter your PINcorrectly, ‘ERICSSON’ willappear in the display. The phone will then search for a network.

Note! If your PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row,

the SIM card will be blocked and you will have to unblock it using your PUK code. See chapter ‘Security’.

When a network is found, the phone beeps three times. The indicator light on top of the phone flashes green once every second and your network operator’s name (in most cases abbreviated) is shown in the display. If you have the charger connected, the indicator will show a steady green light instead of a flashing one.

You can now make and receive calls. This is called standby mode.

Not for Commercial Use

When No Network Name Is Displayed

If the message ‘Emergency calls only’ is displayed, you are within range of a network but you are not allowed to use it. However, in an emergency, you can call the international emergency number 112. See chapter ‘Making and Receiving Calls’.

If the message ‘No network’ is displayed, there is no network within range or the received signal is too weak. You have to move to obtain a sufficiently strong signal.

To Turn Off the Phone

l In standby mode, press and hold the NO

(ON/OFF) key until the display is turned off.

Initial Settings

The first time you turn on your S 868, you may want to change the default language and ring level settings, and set the clock.

The Phone Book

The Phone Book in your S 868 lets you store and recall phone numbers. This means that the phone can store all your important numbers. You do not have to remember them or carry your address book around.

The Phone Book also keeps track of your last dialled numbers and,if you subscribeto the CallingLine Identification service, the last answered numbers. Convenient if you have to call someone back.

When you receive a call and the caller’s number is in the Phone Book, you will see the name in the display.

Before You Start

Before you start creating your personal Phone Book, there area few things you need to know. In this section, you will learn about the two different memories and how tostore the numbers with the international prefix.

We also recommend that you at this stage read the section about entering characters, even though you might need to go back to this when you follow the instructions later on.

Phone Book Memories

You can store your phone numbers in two different

Not for Commercial Use

memories:

• the card memory on the SIM card,

• the phone memory. Storing yournumbers in thecard memory allows you to

use the numbers stored on the SIM card even when you change phones, i.e. when you insert your SIM card into another phone.

On the other hand, by storing your numbers in the phone memory, they are always available to you on your phone, even if you change SIM cards.

The memory positions in the card memory are numbered from 1 onwards. The actual number of memory positionsavailable depends on your SIM card.

The phone memory can hold up to 99 phone numbers. The memory positions are labelled ¤1–¤99.

Note! In the ‘Phone book’ menu, press # to enter the ¤ charac-

ter. Outside the ‘Phone book’ menu, you must press and hold down # to enter the ¤ character.

International Numbers

STORE 11 John, office +4646123456

If you intend to use your phone both at home and abroad, you should store all phone numbers as international phone numbers, that is with the ‘+’ sign – which automatically will be replaced by the international dialling prefix for the country you are calling from – followed by the country code, then the area code and the phone number.

• To enter the (+) sign, press and hold 0.

• Omit any leading zero in the area code.

Entering Characters

In the phone book you can accompany any number you store with a name. To enter the characters in the name, follow the instructions below.

l Press the appropriate key, 1–9, 0 or #,

repeatedly until the desired character appears in the display.

Press to enter the menu system. See inside the cover. 15

Recalling a Phone Number

To make a call with tone signal codes, proceed as described in ‘Making and Receiving Calls’. When you make the call, the phone dials the number, waits until the call is answered and then sends the code. If you inserted another pause and another code, it will pause again, send the next code and so on.

The Speed Dialling Facility

You can call the phone numbers that you store in the positions 1–9 in the card memory by entering the position number and then pressing YES. Therefore, you should save positions 1–9 for important numbers.

Sending and Receiving Text Messages

A very convenient feature of your Ericsson S 868 is the Short Message Service (SMS). This allows you to send and receive text messages consisting of up to 160 characters.

Using the Short Message Service, you do not have to worry about whether the people you want to reach check their answering machinesor not. As soon as they turn on their phone, the message will be waiting for them.

Text messages can be received when the phone is in standby mode, during a call or when incoming calls are diverted to another phone number. If the recipient’s phone is turned off when a message is sent, a notifying message will be displayed soon after the phone is turned on.

Apart fromsending standard messages to phones, your Ericsson S 868 is also prepared for sending fax messages (group 3 and 4), X400 messages, e-mails and telexes, via the Short Message Service. Check with your network operator which message types you can use and how.

Note! The Short Message Service may not be available in all

networks.

Fixed Dialling

Fixed Dialling is a way of restricting outgoing calls. It requires a SIM card that allows fixed numbers to be stored. The fixed numbers are protected by the PIN2.

• The Fixed Dialling function allows calls to be made only to fixed numbers stored on the SIM card. If an attempt is made to call other numbers, the message ‘Number not permitted’ appears in the display.

• It is possible to store partial numbers, for example an area code, or an area code followed by the first digits common to several numbers. Storing 0123456 allows calls to be made to numbers from 012345600 to 012345699.

• Numbers beginning with the international ‘+’ sign and country code can also be stored, allowing you to make calls from abroad.

• Numbers including question marks can be stored. For example, storing 01234567?0 allows calls to be made to numbers ending with a zero from 0123456700 to 0123456790. To enter a question mark hold down #.

• The Fixed Dialling function does not prohibit calls to the international emergency number 112 and the Service Centre of your network operator. Network services such as Call Divert and Call Barring cannot be used.

• The maximum fixed numbers that can be stored depends on your SIM card.

Personalizing Your Phone

The Ericsson S 868 is much more than just another mobile phone. It is your companion in both professional and private life. As such, you most certainly want to adjust the phone to your preferences.

You can do so by composing your own ring signal, changing the key sound or changing the message signal, among other things.

This chapter contains all the information you need to get that little extra out of your phone.

Personal Settings

The ‘Settings’ menu includes a number of functions which lets you adapt your phone to your own personal needs in different situations. Note that some of the settings depend on if you have external equipment (e.g. handsfree equipment) connected to your phone or not.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

General

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the phone is turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. Depending on the type of mobile phone you have bought, it operates in different frequency ranges and employs commonly used modulation techniques. The system that handles your call when you are using your phone, controls the power level at which your phone transmits.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO), published a statement in 1996 which sets limits for exposure to RF fields from handheld mobile phones. According to this statement, which is based on the available body of research, there is no evidence that mobile terminals meeting the recommended limits can cause any adverse health effects. All Ericsson telephones conform to the ICNIRP recommendations and international exposure standards, such as:

• CENELEC European Pre-standard ENV50166-2

Not for Commercial Use

• ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 (USA, Asia-Pacific) If you want to limit RF exposure even further, you may

choose to control theduration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power efficient manner.

Efficient Phone Operation

How to use your phone for optimum performance with minimum power consumption:

• Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. While speaking directly into the mouthpiece, angle the antenna in a direction up and over your shoulder. If the antenna is extendable/retractable, it should be extended during a call.

• Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use. Holding the antenna affects call quality, may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed and shorten talk and standby times.

Antenna Care and Replacement

• Do not bend the antenna since it is sensitive and this will reduce its performance.

• Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. Take your phone to a qualified service centre for repair. Use only the designated Ericsson antenna.

• Do not use an antenna designed for any other type of telephone than the one you have bought. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate the appropriate regulations.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of telephones in the areas where you drive.

Press to enter the menu system. See inside the cover. 51

Ericsson Mobile Communications AB

If you are going to use your mobile phone while driving:

• Give full attention to driving.

• Use handsfree operation, if available.

• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles. In addition, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles. Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to be sure your phone will not affect the electronic systems of your vehicle.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment, for example equipment in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from telephones may affect some electronic equipment.

Turn off your phone in health care facilities when regulations posted in the areas instruct you to do so.

Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting permission.

Mobile telephonesmay affect the operation of some implanted cardiac pacemakers, equipment for people with hearing impairments and other medically implanted equipment. Pacemaker patients should be aware that the use of a mobile phone very close to a

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas,such as petrol stations, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle which contains your phone and accessories.

Product Care

• Do not expose your mobile phone to moisture or extreme temperatures.

• Do not use any other accessories than Ericsson originals. Failure to do so may result in loss of performance, fire, electric shock or injury, and will void the warranty.

• Do not attempt to disassemble the product. Doing so will void warranty. This product does not contain consumer serviceable components. Service should only be performed by Authorized Service
