Using the Phone Features

Manually Selecting a Network

You may want to manually select a different wireless network to use, instead of your device automatically doing this for you. For example, you may want to control costs by knowing when connectivity for your current, selected network is unavailable, and deciding whether you want to select a different network to use.

1. From the Phone keypad, tap Tools > Options > Network

tab.

2. Under Network selection, select Manual and select the

network you want to use.

NOTE: When your current network is unavailable, tap Select

Network, and manually select a different network to use.

Configuring Your Pocket PC for Your SIM Card

When the SIM card connects to your service provider’s network, it may be updated by your service provider to include new network parameters for faster connection. The GPRS Settings Manager automatically updates your Pocket PC’s device files with the new network parameters on your SIM card.

At times, you may need to manually edit the network settings or create your own personal network settings. To do that, you will need to modify the GPRS Settings.

The GPRS Settings Manager has the following features:

■ Automatically detects the carrier and sets up the GPRS

connection information.

Failed Automatic SIM Detection

If the SIM card is not detected by the application:

■ Check to see if the SIM card is present in the Pocket PC. If it

is not present, insert the SIM card and relaunch the application.

■ If the SIM card is not recognized by the application, create a

new connection.

TTY Functionality for the Hearing-Impaired

NOTE: The TTY software application is included on the

Companion CD and must be downloaded onto the Pocket PC before it can be enabled.

This Pocket PC supports TTY (Tele-typewriter) functionality. This functionality allows hearing-impaired persons to communicate using existing telephony infrastructure, including cellular phones. To achieve this, separately purchased TTY devices must be connected to the telephones on both ends of a telephone call session, and the TTY software application must be downloaded from the Companion CD onto the Pocket PC. The sending TTY device generates a distinct audio tone for every supported character, and these tones are decoded and converted back into text on the receiving TTY device.

Due to the use of audio compression codecs in modern digital cellular telephones, these TTY audio tones may be unintentionally distorted while being transmitted through cellular telephones. In order for TTY devices to continue to work in cellular networks, the cellular telephone must be set into a mode that optimizes the compression codec to handle TTY tones instead of the human voice.

NOTE: For information on connecting TTY devices to the iPAQ

Pocket PC, refer to the TTY device manufacturer’s documentation.

User’s Guide 4–33

Using the Phone Features

Enabling TTY Support

Before connecting the optional TTY device to the phone, you must enable TTY support in order to prepare the Pocket PC Phone to expect a TTY device to be connected.

To enable TTY support:

1. From the Start menu, tap Settings > Personal tab > TTY icon.

2. Place a checkmark in the Enable TTY support box by tapping it.

3. Tap OK.

4. Connect the optional TTY device or plug to the headphone as stated in the device manufacturer’s documentation and connect the headphone to the Pocket PC. This connection activates the TTY audio mode.

Making a Phone Call Using the TTY Device

1. Press the green phone button on the bottom front of the Pocket PC to launch the dialer keypad, then turn on the phone functions of the Pocket PC.

2. Dial the phone number of the person you are trying to reach who also has a TTY device connected to their phone.

3. When the phone call is answered, start typing onto the TTY keyboard.

The letters typed into the machine are turned into electrical signals that travel over regular telephone lines. When the signals reach their destination (another TTY), they are converted back into letters which appear on a display screen, are printed out on paper, or both.

When you are finished typing your phone conversation, the person on the other end of the line may begin typing their answers or comments to you.

4–34 User’s Guide

4. To end a phone call, press and hold the red phone button on the bottom of the Pocket PC.

NOTE: TTY audio mode activation may not be possible while a

telephone call is already in progress.

NOTE:

■ If a normal headset is connected while TTY support is

enabled, the audio quality may be decreased.

■ If a Bluetooth headset is connected while TTY support is

enabled, the audio quality will not change because TTY audio mode has not been activated.

■ However, if you make a phone call using a Bluetooth

headset while TTY mode is enabled AND a plug has been inserted into the headphone jack, TTY audio mode will be activated and voice quality will decrease.

Deactivating TTY Audio Mode
