• Lithium Ion batteries have a self discharge rate and without use, lose about 1% of their charge per day.

• The battery capacity is degraded if the battery is stored for long periods while fully charged. If long term storage is required, store at half capacity.

Antenna

The retractable antenna on your i855 phone is designed to be extended during calls.

To extend the antenna, pull gently on the rounded tip until the antenna is fully extended and clicks into position.

When finished with a call, retract the antenna by pushing gently on the rounded tip until the antenna clicks into place.

To optimize your phone’s performance, extend the antenna when you make or receive a call, and avoid touching the antenna with any body part.

Important: Failure to fully ex tend or retract the

antenna until the antenna clicks into place causes severely degraded performance, which may result in missed calls, dropped calls, or garbled audio.

Creating Pauses and Waits

When storing a number, you can program your phone to pause or wait between digits while dialing. A pause makes your phone pause for 3 seconds before dialing further. A wait makes your phone wait for your response before dialing further.

This feature is useful when using voice mail or other automated phone systems that require you to dial a phone number and then enter an access number.

To program a pause:

Press and hold * until the letter P appears. The P represents a 3-second pause.

If you store 17035551235P1234, when you select this number and make a call, your phone dials the first 11 digits, pauses for 3 seconds, then dials the last 4 digits.

If you want a pause longer than 3 seconds, press and hold * more than once. Each P represents a 3-second pause.

To program a wait:

Press and hold * until the letter W appears. The W means your phone waits before dialing further.

If you store 17035551235W1234, when you select this number and make a call, your phone dials the first 11 digits and then waits. A message appears asking if you want to send the rest of the digits. Press A under Yes to dial the last 4 digits.

Tip: You can create pauses and waits while

dialing a number from the keypad. See “Creating Pauses and Waits While Dialing” on page 46.
