Pause Digit Entry

When storing a number, you can program your phone so that it will not only dial a number but al so paus e a nd enter another series of numbers such as a personal identification num ber (PIN) or password. This feature is particularly useful for automated s ervices 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 on travel. 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 i500plus 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 progra m your phone to automatically input the above information, the stored data would look like this 17035551234P#P1234. In this example, the first eleve n digits represent the number tha t must be dialed to access your voice mail. The P represents a 3 second pause. The # interrupts your greeting. The second P represents anot her 3 second pause. The last four digits represent your PIN.

Page 26

You can use this feature not only to enter PINs and passwords but also to have the phone a utoma tic ally sele ct menu opt ions (i .e. , p ress 1 t o he ar messages).

To create a three-second pause follow the steps below:

Press and hold * for two seconds. The pause symbol (P) will appear.

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

storedor dialed.

the automated message has playedin its entirety, you canprogram yourphone to pausefor 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 nextsetofnumbers.

List Manager User Tips

• If you have already created lists on your phone, to a void losing your existinglists, send that information to List Manager before modifying your lists on the List Manager website.

• When sending lists from your phone, the transmission to the Web is immediate. It’s not necessary to confirm the transaction on the website.

• When sending information from the website to the phone, you must confirm the action on your phone.

• If you send information from the website to the phone and realize you have made a m istake, you can decline the update from the phone. When the “New Ne t Mail” message arrives on your phone, select “Later” then delete the message from your Net Mail inbox.

• If you have more than one phone, you must register each phone individually w ith Nextel. Or, you can register as a n Account Administrator and manage multiple phones.

Page 30

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 fe w things you’ll want to know.

• You must register with Nextel as an Account Administrator. Toso so, you will need to provide the following i nformation:

– 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 accountsassociated with the master account.Ifyou do not have access to your company’sNextel 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.

• Administratorsmay register as an individual user and/or an Account Administrator. However, you do not need to have a Nextel phone to act as a n 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’stemplate, it will occupy positions 71-100 on each employees’ phone list. E mployees cannot edit, change, delete or m odify information stored i n those 30 positions (71-100).

• Toavoid loss of information, individual users should be notified in advance which list positions a template will occupy.

As you compose email or enter street and web addresses on your Nextel phone, you will need to type words, numbers and symbols. Your Nextel data-capable phone has embedded software, cal led T9 Text Input, that makes typing on a phone keypad much like typing on a computer keyboard: it eliminates the tra ditional “multi-tap” method of te xt entry . As you type, you press only one key per le tter. As you type, T9 Text Input matches your keystrokes to words in its li nguistic databa se of approximately 60,000 words and proper names. There’s even a provision to store words you frequently use that aren’t in the T9 database.

Entering Characters, Nu m ber s and Symbols

In applicatio ns that require text input, such as email, address book, and search, there are four text entry modes available: Word, Alpha, Number, and Symbol.

Word—activates single-key -pres s T9 T ext Input. Alpha—for standard keypad text entry called “multi-tap”. Num—for entering keypad numbers. Sym—for entering punctuation symbo ls such as “@” or “?”.
