Driving Safety Tips

Safety is the most important call you will ever make.
NOTE: For safety and legal reasons (in many countries), do not use
your phone while driving. Check and follow the local laws regarding the use of mobile phones while driving.
1. Give driving your full atte nti on. Don’t let anything interfere with your
concentration.
2. Assess road conditions before making or taking a call.
3. Let voice mail pick up when its inconvenient or unsafe to answer the
phone.
4. Program your most frequently di aled numbers into your phone for
speed dialing.When dialing manually without the Turbo Dial® one-touch dialing feature, dial only when your vehicle is stopped - or have a passenger dial for you.
5. Position your phone where it is easy to see and reach.
6. Keep your eyes on the road. Never take notes while driving.
7. Consider using a hands-free speakerphone or hands-free accessory
which allows you to keep both hands on the wheel when speaking.
8. Use your phone’s Internet capabilities before you drive. Nextel Online
3
services are not designed to be used while driving.
9. Be a Good Samaritan. Dial 9-1-1 in emergencies to report accidents,
impaired or aggressive drivers, crimes or fires. It’s a free call. Know your phone number, so emergency services personnel can cal l you back if necessary.

Your phone comes with a built-in level of securi ty pro te ct ion th rou gh th e u se of the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card. The SIM card stores all your Phonebook information and your Nextel account identification information. Since this information is stored on the SIM card, not in your phone itself, you can remove the information by removing the SIM card.
The SIM card is located in the SIM Card Holder on the back of the phone, underneath the battery. You can verify that the SIM card is in place by removing the battery and viewing the SIM card through the SIM card cover.
See “Removing/Inserting th e SIM C ard” on page 25 for informa tion o n locatin g the SIM card. If there is no SIM card in your phone, notify your Nextel Authorized Representative.
NOTE: Except for making emergency calls, your phone will not
function without the SIM card.

NOTE: It is recommended that you enable the SIM PIN security feature
to prevent fraudulent use of the SIM card, your i50sx phone, and your account.

Pause Digit Entry
When storing a number, you c an program you r phone so that it will not on ly dial a number but also pause before ent eri ng another series of numbers such as a personal identification number (PIN) or password. This feature is particularly useful for accessing automated services such as voice mail and banking systems from your i50sx phone.
Example: Let’s say you have a company voice mail account that you frequently check while traveling. And, to access that account you must do the following:
• dial your work number
• press # while the voice mail greeting is being played
• enter your PIN to access your messages
You can program yo ur phone to enter all of the above information for you by separating each entry with a pause. The stored data would look like this: 17035551234P#P1234. In this example, the first eleven digits represent the number that must be dialed t o access your voice mail. The P rep resents a 3 second pause. The # interrupts your greeting. The second P represents another 3 second pause. The las t f ou r digits represent your PIN.
55
To create a three-second pause, follow t he steps below:
Press and hold * for two seconds. The pause symbol (P) will appear on the display screen.
NOTE:You can enter up to 20 characters in a single entry, stored or
dialed. You can program your phone to pause for more than 3 seconds. Performing the above step twice will program two pauses and cause your phone to wait 6 second s before entering the next set of numbers.

Plus Dialing

This feature enables you to place an international call from most countries — without entering the local internati onal access code. Use Plus Dialing for all Phonebook entries if you pl an to travel outside the United St ates. Begin by following the instructions for “Adding Phonebook Entries” on page 46. Before you type the phon e number to be stored:
1
Press and hold 0 for two seconds. A “0” appears, then changes to a “+”.
NOTE:The network translates the “+” into the approp riate
international access code needed to place the call.
2
Enter the country code, city cod e, or area code (as needed), and phone number.

Follow the instructions for “Adding Phonebook Entries” on page 46.
