Introduction

Security

Congratulations on choosing the Maxon MX-3204 GSM mobile phone.

The MX-3204 has been designed to operate on any digital GSM network subject to individual network roaming agreements. GSM is becoming a worldwide standard communications system giving you the freedom to stay in touch wherever you are.

Your mobile phone is intended for use with the supplied rechargeable battery, quick charger and any of the approved accessories shown in section 7 of this user guide. Other usage will invalidate any approval and warranties given to this equipment and may be dangerous.

The MX-3204 conforms to the GSM type approval for class 4 mobile phones and is prepared for phase 2 specification to meet future network development.

Maxon Cellular Systems (Denmark) A/S reserve the right to make changes and improvements to any of the products described in this guide without prior notice.

■ if your phone is lost or stolen you must report it to your

network operator or service provider so that they can bar the phone and SIM from use. This is important as you may be liable for the cost of unauthorised calls until the equipment is barred

■ when you ring the network operator or service provider

they will need the IMEI number of the phone. This is printed on the label attached to the back of the phone under the battery. Copy the number onto the label

below for future reference

■ you can help prevent mobile phone crime by taking the

following precautions:

- always have the SIM PIN enabled and change it if you think someone else knows the number

- don’t leave your phone visible in a vehicle when you leave it. Take the phone with you or lock it in the boot or glove compartment

- set call bars to limit fraudulent use

10.2

Safety

Personal

■ operation of any radio equipment including mobile

phones, may interfere with the function of inadequately shielded medical devices such as hearing aids and pacemakers. You must consult the manufacturer of the device or your physician before use

■ observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in

fuel depots, chemical plants, in areas where explosive gases are present or where blasting operations are in progress. Your mobile phone will continue to transmit call responses if left in standby mode. You must switch off when requested to do so

■ do not move the antenna close to, or touching any

exposed part of the body when making a call, a damaged antenna may cause a minor burn

Mobile Phone

■ your mobile phone produces magnetic fields, do not

place next to magnetic storage media such as computer diskettes

■ operating your mobile phone close to other electrical

equipment such as televisions, phones, radios and personal computers, may cause interference

■ do not expose your mobile phone to strong sunlight,

direct heat or liquids (such as water)

Battery

■ do not short circuit the battery terminals. This will

damage the battery, produce heat and may cause a f i r e

■ never dispose of batteries in a fire as this can cause

them to explode. Return dead batteries to your supplier or an approved recycling centre. DO NOT p u t in with the household waste

W A R N I N G : If the battery case breaks, avoid contact with the contents. Wash contaminated skin with lots of water and seek medical attention if necessary.

On the Road

■ before making or receiving calls acquaint yourself

thoroughly with the applicable local laws and guidelines regarding the use of mobile radio telephones and observe them at all times

■ air safety bags, anti-lock brakes, speed control and

fuel injection systems are normally immune to radio transmissions but if you experience problems, consult your vehicle dealer

■ switch off your mobile phone when refuelling or where

there are signs restricting the use of 2-way radio equipment. Do not store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment as your mobile phone, internal sparks could cause ignition

Inside Aircraft

■ switch off your mobile phone when in an aircraft. The

use of mobile phones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the cellular network and is illegal

Getting Started

Read this section before attempting to use your phone. It tells you how to attach, charge and care for the phone’s battery. We have also included general information about the digital GSM network and given instructions of how to insert and unlock the SIM. Your phone has an indicator to visually show its status when you cannot see the display. Details about the indicator are also shown in this section.

The Battery

Your phone is supplied with a rechargeable battery and quick charger. Before you use the phone for the first time, it is important that you F U L L Y C H A R G E

THE BATTERY. Failure to do this will affect the life of

1.1

the battery and reduce operating times between recharges.

Full battery capacity will only be achieved after fully charging and discharging the battery two or three times.

Removing and Attaching the Battery

■ to remove, press the release catch then slide the

battery off the phone

■ to attach, place the battery on the phone then slide

in the direction of the arrow to lock in position

Charging the Battery

■ insert the charger connecter into the base of the

p h o n e

■ plug the charger into the power supply. A filling

battery symbol and ‘CHARGING’ in the display indicates charging

■ the battery is recharged when the symbol remains all

black and ‘CHARGING COMPLETED’ appears. This takes approximately 1 hour dependent on the size of the battery. It is normal for the battery, phone and charger to become warm during charging

■ after charging, switch OFF the power supply then

disconnect the charger from the phone and the power s u p p l y

WARNING: Charge the battery in a well ventilated area between +5°C and +40°C using the supplied charger. The use of non approved chargers could result in a fire or injury through an electrical shock and will invalidate all warranties given on this product.

1.2

Battery Performance

To maintain battery performance you should operate the phone until you see the low power warning message or preferably, the phone switches itself OFF, then FULLY RECHARGE. If the battery is only partly used before recharging it can self adjust to holding a

reduced charge with the resultant progressive reduction in operating times.

1.3

Because it is not always convenient to wait for the phone to switch off, there is a self discharge feature which will safely discharge the battery in the minimum time. This feature won’t work when the phone is connected to the charger. Please refer to section 3 for activate instructions.

The standby and talk times quoted are estimates based on ideal operating conditions. Battery life achieved in use will vary between networks and with different conditions and applications.

Battery Power Level

The battery power level is shown in the top right corner of the display when you switch the phone ON. Five levels are displayed from full (all black) to empty.

■ fully charged

Network Connection

The SIM

Your network provider will supply you with a plug-in SIM for use with your phone. The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is your personal key to the digital GSM network.

All the information needed to connect you to the network and to initiate billing for your calls is stored in the gold plated area along with names, numbers and messages which you have entered into the phone book or received. The SIM can be removed and inserted into any GSM phone using the same size reader (the new phone automatically takes the identity of the SIM).

To prevent losing or corrupting information, avoid touching the gold area and do not place the SIM near electrical or magnetic fields. A damaged SIM will not allow you to access the GSM network.

W A R N I N G : Always switch the phone OFF before removing the battery or SIM. Never insert or remove the SIM when an external power supply (e.g. the quick charger) is connected, otherwise the SIM may be damaged .

1.4

■ d i s c h a r g e d

■ near auto power off

The phone will automatically switch OFF shortly after the empty battery symbol starts flashing and ‘LOW BATTERY’ appears on display. You can clear the message temporarily by pressing any key.

The indicator also flashes red to warn of low battery power provided that the feature is activated (refer to page 1.7 for details).

Inserting the SIM

The SIM will probably be supplied in a card holder and you’ll need to carefully press it free before fitting.

■ switch OFF the phone, remove the battery (if attached)

and any external power supply

■ insert the SIM under the two lugs so that the gold

area is facing down and the angled corner is positioned as shown in the diagram

■ engage the lock and attach the battery

■ if you need to remove the SIM, remove the battery,

disengage the lock then carefully lift and slide the SIM from the phone

Unlocking the SIM

To prevent unauthorised use, the SIM is protected by a PIN1 (Personal Identity Number) code. When enabled, you must enter the PIN1 each time you switch your phone ON. This will unlock the SIM and allow you to make and receive calls. You can choose to disable the

PIN1 (refer to section 3) in which case your SIM will

1.5

not be protected against unauthorised use.

■ press and hold

■ enter the PIN1 then

(use the an error). For example if the PIN is set to 1234

⁄`⁄⁄

to switch the phone ON

;

key to clear

1234■;

If you enter the wrong PIN1 three times in succession, your SIM will be barred from the network and the phone will ask for the PUK 1. Refer to section 6 for help.

IMPORTANT: The supplied PIN1 (4 to 8 digits) may be a standard number used for all SIM’s issued by your network operator, you should therefore change it to any personal number of your choice as soon as possible. Please refer to section 3 for instructions.

Connecting to the Network

After unlocking the SIM, the phone will make an automatic search for your home network or another suitable operator in your location (‘SEARCHING’ displayed). When connected, the name of the operator appears in the top left of the display.

Your mobile phone is now in standby mode, ready to make and receive calls.

‘EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY’ means that you are outside co-operating network coverage but you can still make emergency calls subject to signal strength.

The indicator also flashes green when your phone is ready to make and receive calls provided that the indicator feature is activated (refer to page 1.7 for details).

1.6

The Indicator

Calls

The phone has a built-in indicator which can show Red, Green or Yellow and flashes at different speeds according to the status of the phone and battery. You

can switch the indicator OFF and ON again at any time

Making Calls

The network operator name must appear in the top left of the display before you can make or receive calls. Signal strength is indicated by the bars in the top right

of the display (six bars for optimum signal strength).

2.1

You can use the phone with the antenna fully retracted (pushed in) but best reception is obtained with the ANTENNA FULLY EXTENDED. The antenna does not work between the two positions (low or no signal strength).

Call quality can be affected by physical obstructions, so moving only a few metres may significantly improve signal strength.

SMS Messages

Your phone can send and receive short text messages provided that your network operator supports the service (you may have to pay a subscription). There

are two types of messages, SMS and Cell Broadcasts.

5.1

SMS Messages (refer to page 5.2)

Messages of up to 160 characters can be sent specifically to your phone via a Service Centre. If the message contains a reply number, you can dial it direct by placing the cursor under the number then press ,. The phone also gives you the facility to send a reply message or send new messages (via a Service Centre) to other digital GSM phones operating on a suitable network. If the SMS service is supported by your network operator, you should be able to receive and send messages in your home country and from abroad.

Cell Broadcast (refer to page 5.6)

These are general information messages sent out by the network operator or an approved information supplier. Cell broadcast messages are typically local weather and travel/traffic reports, stock market prices, sports results or maybe specialist network services.

To enable you to view the information you must enter the channel number or code supplied for each service and a language then switch the feature ON. The number of channel locations on the SIM is limited to its memory capacity, so you may have to overwrite old channel numbers to enter new ones.

Receiving SMS Messages

■ an alert tone sounds each time a new message is

received (this can be disabled, refer to page 5.5) then the message is automatically stored on the SIM. The number of stored messages (including messages to be sent) is dependant on the capacity of the SIM, therefore it is important to delete old messages as soon as possible

Reading SMS Messages

■ enter the READ menu and select the message you

want, unread messages are indicated by a black diamond ♦

Call Forwarding

There are two call forwarding options which you can use to be assured that all your incoming calls are answered. The phone number which the calls are forwarded (diverted) to can be entered via the keypad or recalled from the Phone Book.

Call forwarding is not supported by all network operators and may be subject to tariff restrictions, please check before attempting to select. Your network operator may provide alternative instructions to those shown below (not via the menu), these will work with your phone.

NO REPLY - calls will be diverted:

1. after a set number of seconds

2. if your phone is engaged

3. if your phone is outside coverage

4. if your phone is switched off

Call Barring

You can set any combination of the following call bars to help manage network usage and increase security. The network provider will supply a special four digit

password so that you can activate the call bars. You

5.9

can change the password to any four digit code of your choice if you find it difficult to remember or think someone else knows it.

Call bars are not supported by all network operators and may be subject to tariff restrictions, please check before attempting to select. Your network operator may provide alternative instructions to those shown below (not via the menu), these will work with your phone.

If you enter the wrong password three times in succession, the service will be blocked. You must then contact your network operator for unblocking.

Network Selection

You can choose which method your phone uses to connect you to a foreign GSM network when operating outside your home country (roaming). Normally you

would select Automatic mode (see below) but you can

5.11

choose Manual or Periodic and force a search for available networks or request network reselection. If you attempt to select a network with which your home network does not have a roaming agreement ‘NETWORK NOT ALLOWED’ will appear on display.

Operating Modes

■ there is a choice of three operating modes

A U T O M A T I C - your phone will search for the home

network first then a network from the preferred list stored on the SIM, in list order (refer to page 5.12 to edit the list) and if both these fail, any network which has a roaming agreement with your home network

M A N U A L - if the search for your selected network fails, the phone will display a list of available networks for you to choose from

P E R I O D I C - this is similar to AUTOMATIC mode but is particularly useful if you are in an area of the home country where there is more than one network present e.g. near a border. When the home network is unavailable the phone will select a foreign network but will continue to periodically search for the home network. This ensures that you will be automatically connected to the home network as soon as possible or to a network with a higher priority
