Call Answering by Voice Command
When receiving an incoming call, the phone will ask you if
you want to answer the call ("Call from… Accept the call?").
Press Yes to accept the call, or No to reject it.
GPS
Your phone incorporates a built-in GPS receiver, which can
be used by a compatible Java™ application to help you
navigate your way quickly and easily.
What is GPS?
GPS stands for Global Positioning System – a satellite-based
radio navigation system which was developed by the U.S.
Department of Defense. The system is formed by 24
satellites orbiting the earth and continuously transmitting
various signals. A standard GPS receiver can calculate its
current latitude, longitude and elevation anywhere on earth,
by analyzing these signals and measuring the distance
between itself and these satellites.
In optimal conditions, a GPS receiver can calculate its
location to an accuracy of a few meters. The accuracy mainly
depends on the number of GPS satellites to which the GPS
receiver is in a line of sight, but may be subject to other
factors too.
Navigation Applications & Services
Using the Global Positioning System maintained by the U.S.
Department of Defense is free of charge and no subscription
is needed.
However, downloading a navigation application and/or using
its navigation system may require a subscription and/or be
subject to separate fees. To check the availability and pricing
of navigation applications and services, please contact your
network operator or service provider. Your network operator
or service provider will also give you a link from which to
download the navigation application and usage instructions.
Main Attractions – 13
Note: The availability of the navigation application and/or
service depends on your network operator and/or service
provider and may vary by location.
Warnings
1. Operating the navigation application while driving may
cause distraction. If you cannot concentrate on driving,
pull off the road and park the car.
2. Do not rely on your navigation system solely in times of
emergency. Temporary unavailability of this system, poor
GPS coverage, outdated or partial cartography, etc. may
render it unusable when you need it most.
3. Always exercise discretion when using your navigation
system, and do not rely on its guidance solely. The
cartography provided by this system may not fully reflect
any recent changes to roadways, and the route chosen
may not always be the best alternative.
Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
You can connect various audio and data devices to your
phone without cables using Bluetooth wireless technology.
What is Bluetooth Wireless Technology?
Bluetooth wireless technology provides a way to connect and
exchange information between devices such as mobile
phones, computers, printers, digital cameras, etc. over a
secure, globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency.
Your phone supports Bluetooth Class 2.0, which allows
connections to compatible devices within 10 meters. Since
Bluetooth devices use radio frequency to communicate, they
do not have to be in line of sight of each other in order to
maintain the Bluetooth connection, as long as the received
transmission is powerful enough and not obstructed or
interfered (e.g., by walls and/or other electronic devices).
14 – Main Attractions
Note: The use of wireless phones while driving may cause
distraction. Discontinue a call if you cannot concentrate on
driving. Additionally, the use of wireless devices and their
accessories may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.
Always obey the laws and regulations on the use of these
products.
Tip: For maximum Bluetooth security, you should always
connect Bluetooth devices in a safe, private environment.
By default, the Bluetooth feature on your phone is always on.
To disable the Bluetooth feature, press > Settings >
Connection > Bluetooth Link > Setup > Power > Off.
Connect a Bluetooth Headset
Before you try to connect your phone to a Bluetooth headset,
make sure the headset is on and ready in pairing mode (for
details about pairing the headset please refer to its user
guide). You can connect your phone to only one headset at a
time.
Press > Settings > Connection > Bluetooth
Link > Add Audio Device.
Your phone lists the devices it finds within range.
1. Scroll to the desired headset and press .
2. Press Yes to connect to the headset.
3. If necessary, enter the headset passkey (for example,
0000) and press
4. Press End to exit to the home screen.
The phone will establish the connection to the Bluetooth
headset and return to the home screen. When your phone is
connected, the Bluetooth indicator ( ) appears in the home
screen.
Shortcut: When your phone’s Bluetooth power is on, your
phone can automatically connect to a headset you have used
before. Just turn on the device, or move it near the phone. If
the device does not connect, turn it off and back on.
