Preface
Dual-Mode
The NeoPoint 1600 is a cellular band, dual-mode wireless phone, compatible with
both digital (CDMA) and analog (AMPS) networks operating at 800MHz.
The term dual-mode represents the ability of your NeoPoint 1600 to transmit and
receive signals from both analog and digital cellu lar phone systems.
The benefits of having a dual-mode phone include being able to use your phone when
traveling in an area where CDMA digital service is not yet activated. Your NeoPoint
1600 phone will automatically find analog service, allowing your call to be
processed.
About CDMA...
Code division multiple access (CDMA) is the type of digital wireless transmission
that the NeoPoint phone employs. The following sections provide information on
CDMA performance and advantages. These sections are designed to help you
understand how to better use your NeoPoint phone.
Signal Strength and Phone Performance
Like other portable wireless phones, signal strength is affected by the surrounding
environment of the user. Buildings, parking garages, elevators, and basements are
some examples of structures that reduce signal strength. Problems initializing a call,
muting of the audio during a call, or a call drop are signs of low signal strength.
Moving toward a window (if indoors) or open space (if outside) and extending the
antenna fully are ways to optimize signal strength. Traveling in a vehicle through
varying terrain, tunnels, or near tall b uildin gs may also cause ra pid chang es in signal
strength.
NeoPoint 1600 User’s Guide xv
CDMA Advantages
Security Each conversation is digitized and encoded with a separate
assigned key to help prevent eavesdrop p i ng .
Voice Clarity Uses digital voice coding techniques to enhance quality and
reduce background noise.
Lower Average Using sophisticated power control, the phone transmits the
T r an smit Powe r minimum power required to communicate with the base
station and actually idles in between spoken words. This
results in much lower average power radiating from the
antenna than other technologies.
Increased System Provides 3-10 times the capacit y compared to other
Capacity technologies. This results in fewer dropped calls and system
busy signals for the user.
Digital Services Allows user new services including caller ID, data and fax,
text messaging, and simultaneous voic e and da ta.

ALPHA/alpha Mode
ALPHA/alpha mode (UPPER/lower case) allows you to enter alphabeti c characters
using the multi-tap method. The multi-tap method is designed around the keypad

letters “A,” “B,”, and “C” associated with it.

T o type a word - for example, the word Hello, you wou ld u s e th e f ollowin g m u lti-tap
sequence on the keypad: 4-4, 3-3, 5-5-5-, 5-5-5, 6-6-6, where dashed numbers (4-4,
etc.) are pressed without pausing. Pausing between pressing the keys may move the
cursor to the next letter. If this happens, press the CLR key to clear the letter and try
again.
ALPHA/alpha mode will automatically begin in uppercase at the beginning of each
data entry and switch to lowerca s e with th e ne xt le tter. If you wish to toggle between
upper/lower case, press the S
HIFT key on the key pad.
T9 Mode
T9 (Text for 9 keys) Mode (or t9 mode - depending on whether you are in UPPER or
lower case) employs an intelligent software protocol that allows you to enter text just
as you would on a desktop keyboard. Press one key for each letter and type the
entire word. Although each key cont ains multiple letters (the “5” key, for example,
can be used to type “J”, “K ”, or “ L” ) T9 au toma tic a lly match es y our keystrokes with
words in an internal database to de termine th e word you a re typing . T9 will sele ct the
matching word that is most often used.
When in data entry mode and T9 appears in the bottom right of the display, you may
enter the word. If it is not displayed, press S
appears. The following example demonstrates how you can practice using T9 mode.
1. Once you are in T9 mode, type the entire word, using one key press per letter.
The word “hello” is entered by pressing keys 4, 3, 5, 5, 6 in that order.
As you type, T9 matches the keys you pressed with words from its database.
Because T9 is working to match your keystrokes, different words may appear as
you are typing. Most likely, your desired word appears after you spell it
completely.
2. If the word you want is not displayed, press N
choices.
Short words are more likely to share the same keystroke sequences. For
example, book and cool both use the sequence 2, 6, 6, 5. T9 display s the more
commonly used word book. To display “cool” - press N
through all the choices for a keystroke sequence by pressing N

5. In T9, “Smart Punctuation” is available on the 1 key. This enables you to type
e-mail domains, possessive forms, and contractions quickly and easily. At first,

Overview
This chapter discusses how to sync your NeoPoint phone and your PC. It assumes
you have already installed and configured the sync software. Refer to the SoftSync
Plus User’s Guide for instructions on installing and configuring your sync software.
Why sync your phone?
The benefit of syncing is to make it convenient for you to transfer data between the
NeoPoint phone and your personal information management (PIM) program. For
example: when you ente r all of your friends and business associat es - referred to as
contacts - information into your PC and then transfer or sync the data to your
NeoPoint phone, you have:
• All of the information with you wherever you go (with your phone)
• Saved yourself the task of entering the data twice (on the PC and phone)
• Created a data backup (i f yo u lose the d ata on y our PC , yo u ha ve a da ta b ac k-u p on
