Congratulations...

Some features/menusare operator dependent

…and thank you for choosing the CF888, 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 CF888 sets a new standard for others to follow.

Apart from its unique toughness and extraordinary sound quality, the CF888 comes packed with features that will help you stay ahead. Some highlights include:

With the built-in GSM modem, you can forget all about

•

PC Cards. It’s already inside your phone, guaranteeing you instant access to your PC, laptop or handheld communicator -- wireless if you prefer that, thanks to the infrared capabilities.

Dual band, dual-mode operation extends the potential

•

for efficient network usage, especially so if you frequently use your phone in urban areas. The dual-band antenna ensures optimal reception in both frequency bands.

Like the other phones from Ericsson, the CF888 is produced to meet the highest quality standards.

This guideintroduces you to your CF888 and shows you how to get the most out of it. Before you start, please read the “Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use” in the back of the manual.

Valuable Information

Operators & Subscription

To be able to use your phone, you need to have a subscrip tion to a network. This is obtained from the network opera tor. The services included in your subscription depend on your choice of 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.

Dual Band/Dual Mode –

GSM 1900 & Analog 800

The Ericsson CF888 is a dual band/dual mode phone, so you can operate your phone in two different kinds of networks – the GSM 1900 (PCS) and the AMPS 800 systems.

The digital GSM system operates at 1900 MHz, while the analog system, AMPS, operates at 800 MHz.

A dual band/dual mode phone, such as your CF888, com bines the two standards and can use both frequencies. You have the power of the GSM 1900 in your home network while being able to roam in the widespread analog coverage. GSM 1900 is sometimes called GSM or PCS.

Analog information/instructions will appear in blue.

SIM & PIN

Together with your subscription you will obtain a 3-volt SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card. The SIMmust bea dual mode SIM cardto operate as a dual modephone. A sin gle mode SIM will only access GSM 1900 networks.

The SIM card contains a computer chip that keeps track of your phonenumber, theservices you have ordered from your network operator and your Phone Book information, among others.

Your SIM card is supplied with a security code or Personal Identity Number (PIN), 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, the PIN2. You will find your PIN (and PIN2) inthe information from your operator.

When you turn on your phone youmay be prompted to enter your PIN if the PIN is activated. If the PIN is entered incor rectly three times in succession, the SIM card will beblocked. If this happens you can unlock it by using your Personal Un blocking Key (PUK) code, which is also obtained from your operator. See chapter “Security”.

You should be careful with your PIN, since it is your protec tion against unauthorized use of your phone and subscrip tion.

The Battery

Your mobile phone comes with a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The battery is not charged when purchased, but there may be enough power to turn on the phone.

Attaching the Battery to the Phone:

Place the battery on the back of the phone.



 Press the battery upwards and

against the phone until you hear a click.

Removing the Battery

Make sure that the phone is turned off before removing the battery. Then:

 Press the locking catch on

the bottomof thebattery.

Lift the battery up and away from the phone.

Charging the Battery

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

 Connect the charger to the outlets. You will receive one

of the chargers pictured below.

A green indicator on the charger lights up. If not, make

sure you have inserted the plug to the charger correctly (you may have to press hard).

 If applicable, connect the clear plastic plug on the

charger cable to the charger. It is correctly inserted when you hear a click.

Some features/menus are operator dependent

 Connect the other end of the cable to the phone ac

cording to the picture. The flash symbol on the plug must face upwards. Note that you may have to press hard.

The phone will automatically start charging thebattery as you attach the charger. To indicate the charging:

the battery meter in the display is continuously filled and

•

emptied.

• the indicator on top ofthe phone shows a steady red light

(green if the phone is turned on).

When thebattery 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 use the phone while the battery is being

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

Disconnecting the Charger

l Lift the plug connected to

the phone upwards and pull it out.

When to Charge the Battery

The nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery that comes with

your phone can be charged whenever you wish without los ing performance. This is not the case with the nickelcadmium type batteries, often sold as accessories from other suppliers. For optimal talk and standby time in the long run, we recom mend that you only use Ericsson original batteries with your CF888.

In Analogmode, thedigits between pauses are sent as DTMF when YES is pressed. If LONG YES is pressed, the digits between pauses are hookflashed.

Some features/menus are operator dependent

Sending DTMF Tones While on a Call:

Digits entered during an active call are automatically sent as DTMF. If YES is pressed, the call will be set-up to the number entered.

This applies to both AMPS and GSM modes.

Sending Digits from Your Phone Book While on a Call

While on a call, you can recall a phone book entry. A second call can be placed by pressing and holding the YES key.

In analog mode, press DTMF.

Tip! You can also enter the code before you make the call or store

it in the Phone Book. See Creating Your Personal Phone Book in the “Phone Book” chapter on how to do this.

The Phone Book

The Phone Book is a function in your CF888 that conven iently lets you store and recall phone numbers. This means that you can let the phone remember your important num bers, instead of you keeping everything in your head or carrying your address book with you.

The Phone Book also keeps track of your last dialed numbers and, if you subscribe to the Calling Line Identification serv ice, the last answered numbers. This feature is convenient if you have to redial someone.

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

Tip Together with your CF888 you received the Ericsson Mobile

Office Suite software. When installed on your computer, the Mobile Office Suite lets you manage your Phone Book from your computer in a simple and straightforward way.

You will find more information about the Mobile Office Suite in the chapter “Communicating via the Modem”.

Before You Start

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

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

Phone Book Memories

There are two different memories where you can store the

phone numbers:

The memory on the SIM card.

•

• The phone memory.

Storing your numbers in the card memory allows you to recall 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 mem- ory, your numbers will always be 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 positions available depends on your SIM card.

The phone memory can hold up to 99 phone numbers. The memory positions are designated ¤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.

Some features/menusare operator dependent

Entering Characters

In thephone 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 get…

•

To enter a B, press the numeric key 2 twice.

Tip! To enter a digit, you can press and hold down the numeric

key.

Note! If there is a pause of more than 60 seconds between entering

characters, the phone will return to the standby menu.

To Enter Lowercase Letters

Enter the letter, for example an ‘A’, and then press *.An

Sending and Receiving Text Messages

A very convenient feature of your Ericsson CF888 is the Short Message Service (SMS). This allows youto send and re ceive text messages consisting of up to 160 characters.

Using the SMS, you do not have to worry about whether the person you want to reach checks their answering machines. The message will be delivered to their phone.

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

Apart from sending standard messages to phones, your Ericsson CF888 is also prepared for sending fax messages (group 3 and 4), e-mails and telexes, via SMS. This service is operator dependent.

Tip! Together with your CF888 you received the Mobile Office

Suite software. The Mobile Office Suite makes it possible for you to write and read SMS messages on your computer. For more information on how this is done, please see the chapter “Communicating via the Modem”.

Note! The SMS Mobile Originate may need to be activated.

You cannot send SMS while in Analog mode.

Two Memories

The Messages Memory

If you do not want to read an incoming message at once, it is automatically stored in the Messages memory in the phone, which allows you to read it later on.

If there are any unread incoming messages in the messages memory, a letter icon (Mm) is shown to the left at the bottom of the display.

The Messages memory can hold up to 10 messages. When all memory positions are occupied, the oldest read message will be overwritten when a new message is received.

If the Messages memory becomes full with unread messages, new messages will automatically be stored in the SIM card memory. If the SIM card memory becomes full, the letter icon (Mm) starts blinking.

Messages willremain in the Messages memory until you erase them (see “How to Erase a Message”), until you insert a dif ferent SIM card, or until the telephone needs the memory space for storing new messages

The SIM Card Memory

If you receive an important message and want to make sure it is not erased from the messages memory, you can store it in memory on your SIM card. This means that you can retrieve the message regardless of which phone you use. Messages

Some features/menusare operator dependent

that are saved in the SIM card memory will remain thereuntil you erase them.

Setting the Phone for Text Messaging

Communicating via the Modem

A very convenient feature of the CF888 is the built-in mo dem ( a PC card modem). With this, you can connect a com puter to your phone in order to send and receive fax and email messages, browse the Internet and much more.

With the CF888 you can choose if you want to connect to your computer via infrared link (IR) or via cable.

To be able to use various communication services you also need appropriate software, for example a fax application, an e-mail application or an Internet browser.

Your CF888 comes with either a CD or a set of diskettes (or both, dependingon what country you bought your phone in), containing a modem script and the Ericsson Mobile Office Suite software, among other things.

The Mobile Office Suite isa phone book manager and a message manager. See chapter “The Mobile Office Suite” for more information.

You will also find the Microsoft IrDA driver, the Microsoft Windows CE driver and modem script.

Before you Start

Before you can start using communication applications there are a few things that need to be taken care of:

•

First, you need to make sure your computer is configured for infrared communication. Most computers are already

The Data Menus

configured, but if this is not the case, please see your computer’s user manual for more detailed information.

Secondly, you need to install the Microsoft IrDA driver

•

and the Ericsson CF888 modem script on your com puter. These are found on the CD and/or the diskettes that came with your phone. Detailed instructions are found in the section ‘Installing the Infrared Modem’ be low.

• For you to be able to use the above mentioned services

most phone network operators require that you have separate fax and data subscriptions. This way you never need to worry about whether an incoming call is a fax, data or normal speech call. If you do not already have separate fax and data subscriptions, please contact your operator.

Note! Do not expose your built-in modem to electrostatic dis-

charge (ESD). The communication link may be lost and could lead to unintentional loss of data. Should you lose connection, you may need to restart your computer and/or your mobile phone.

Analog mode does not support the data menus.

Some of the communication features described in this chapter require that you have the Data menus in your phone turned on. To turn them on:

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Some features/menusare operator dependent

General

Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the mobile phone is one of the most exciting and innovative products ever devel oped. Your phone can help you to stay in touch withyour of fice, your home, emergency services and others.

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 purchased, 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

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends our radio frequency (RF) signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both US andinter national standards bodies:

•

ANSI C95.1 (1992)*

•

NCRP Report 86 (1986)*

•

ICNIRP (1996)*

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example,

over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universi ties, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standards (C95.1).

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

* American National Standards Institute: National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.

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.

Do nothold the antenna when the phoneis in use. Hold ing the antenna affects call quality, may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed and shorten talk and standby times.

For your phone to operate

certain electronic equipment may not beshielded against the therefore signals from yourwireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recom mends thata minimumseparation ofsix (6) inches be main tained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent re search byand recommendationsof Wireless Technology Re search.

Persons with pacemakers:



Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker whenthe phoneis turned ON.



Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.



Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to mini- mize the potential for interference.



If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hear ing aids. In the event of such interferences,you may want to consult your service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).

Electronic Devices

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

Some features/menusare operator dependent

Aircraft

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are ade quately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regu lations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external therefore energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronicsystems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Potentially explosive atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks insuch areas could cause an explosion orfire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petro leum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles Equipped with an AirBag

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the air bag deployment area. If
