Driver Safety
Safe driving is far more important than anything else. So please follow these tips for using your wireless phone when you’re behind the wheel.

Give driving your full attention. Don’t let anything interfere with your concentration.
2
Assess road conditions before making or taking a call.
3
Let Voice Mail pick up when you’re in heavy traffic or hazardous road conditions.
4
Program your most frequently dialed numbers into your phone for Speed Dialing. When dialing manually, dial only when your vehicle is stopped—or have a passenger dial for you.
5
Position your phone where it is easy to see and reach.
6
Keep your eyes on the road. Never take notes while driving.
7
Consider using a hands-free speakerphone, which allows you to keep both hands on the wheel when speaking. Hands-free mobile accessories and car adapter accessories can be ordered by calling 1-800-914-3240, visiting nextel.com or contacting your Nextel Autho­rized Representative.
8
Be a Good Samaritan. Dial 9-1-1 in emergen­cies to report accidents, impaired or aggressive drivers, crimes or fires. It’s a free call. Know your Nextel phone number, so emergency services personnel can call you back if necessary.

This programming function allows you to store up to 100 names, phone numbers and Private ID numbers. Your i 550plus phone will automatically assign the next available Speed Dial number, which you can change. Once you have stored an individual, you can call them by scrolling through the list and finding their name, using the Speed Dial number or using Nextel Direct Connect (see “Nextel Direct Connect®” on page 55). And, whenever the person calls you, your phone will display their name if you entered their 10-digit phone number. The display holds 12 phone-number characters. If the phone number exceeds 12 characters, you can pressounder “More” to see the remaining characters. To return to the start of the number, pressounder “Numbr”.
You can store up to 100 names, phone numbers and Private IDs using the following steps:
“Plus Dialing” on page 25 before you create a stored list from your phone. Using Pause Digit Entry and Plus Dialing will enable you to create stored lists that will save time when placing calls.

Pause Digit Entry
When storing a number, you can program your phone so that it will not only dial a number but also pause and enter another series of numbers such as a personal identification number (PIN) or password. This feature is particularly useful for automated services such as voice mail and banking systems.
Here’s how it works! Let’s say you have a company voice mail account that you frequently check while traveling. And, to access that account you must do the following:
• Dial your work number;
• Press # while the voice mail greeting is being played; and
• Enter your PIN to access your messages.
You can program your i 550plus phone to enter all of the above information for you. All you have to do is separate each entry with a pause. If you were to program your phone to automatically input the above information, the stored data would look like this: 17035551234P#P1234. In this example, the first eleven digits represent the number that must be dialed to access your voice mail. The P represents a 3-second pause. The # interrupts your greeting. The second P represents another 3-second pause. The last four digits represent your PIN.
17
You can use this feature not only to enter PINs and passwords but also to have the phone automatically select menu options (i.e., press 1 to hear messages).
To create a three-second pause follow the steps below:
Press and hold
* for two seconds. The pause symbol (P) will
appear on the display screen.
NOTE: You can enter up to 20 numbers/characters in a single entry,
NOTE: If you use a system that will not let you enter an option until
stored or dialed.
the automated message has played in its entirety, you can pro­gram your phone to pause for more than 3 seconds. For exam­ple, performing the above step twice will program two pauses and cause your phone to wait 6 seconds before entering the next set of numbers.

List Manager User Tips
• If you have already created lists on your phone, to avoid losing your existing lists, send that information to List Manager before modifying your lists on the List Manager Web site.
• When sending lists from your phone, the transmission to the Web is immediate. It’s not necessary to confirm the transaction on the Web site.
• When sending information from the Web site to the phone, you must confirm the action on your phone.
• If you send information from the Web site to the phone and realize you have made a mistake, you can decline the update from the phone. When the New Net Mail message arrives on your phone, select “Later” then delete the message “*Receive List?” from your Net Mail Inbox.
• If you have more than one phone, you must register each phone individually with Nextel. Or, you can register as an Account Administrator and manage multiple phones.
21
For List Manager Account Administrators
Account Administrators can manage large groups of phones and synchronize phone lists across multiple workgroups. To do this, however, there are a few things you’ll want to know.
• You must register with Nextel as an Account Administrator. To do so, you will need to provide the following information:
– Account Number – Billing address zip code – Last account balance
• If you have registered as an Account Administrator on a master
account, you will have access to all accounts associated with the master account. If you do not have access to your company’s Nextel master account, you must register separately for each individual account you wish to access.
• Talkgroups cannot be created through List Manager. Please call Nextel Customer Care at 1-800-639-6111 to have your Talkgroups set up by a Nextel Customer Care Representative.
• Administrators may register as an individual user and/or an Account Administrator. However, you do not need to have a Nextel phone to act as an Account Administrator.
• Administrators can create master lists or templates to send to multiple users. When sent to a group of users, those templates will occupy certain positions on the user’s phone list and will overwrite information already in those positions. For example, an Account Administrator for the Marketing Department creates a template for the 30-employee group. If the employee accepts the Administrator’s template, it will occupy positions 71-100 on each employee’s phone list. Employees cannot edit, change, delete or modify information stored in those 30 positions (71-100).
• To avoid loss of information, individual users should be notified in advance which list positions a template will occupy.
iDEN Organizer
If you want to use your computer to create stored lists for your i 550plus phone, use Nextel’s iDEN Organizer. It’s available for programming names, phone numbers, and Private IDs into your phone. To order, call Nextel Nextday Authorized Representative.
