■ About your device
The wireless device described in this
guide is approved for use on the
CDMA 800, CDMA 1900 and AMPS
networks. Contact your network
operator for more information about
networks.
When using the features in this
device, obey all laws and respect
privacy and legitimate rights of
others.
Warning: To use any features
in this device, other than the
alarm clock, the phone must
be switched on. Do not
switch the device on when
wireless phone use may
cause interference or danger.
■ Network Services
To use the device you must have
service from a wireless network
operator. Many of the features in
this device depend on features in the
wireless network to function. These
Network Services may not be
available on all networks or you may
have to make specific arrangements
with your network operator before
you can utilize Network Services.
Your network operator may need to
give you additional instructions for
their use and explain what charges
will apply. Some networks may have
limitations that affect how you can
use network services. For instance,
some networks may not support all
language-dependent characters and
services. See "Network services
features", page 59.
Your network operator may have
requested that certain features be
disabled or not activated in your
device. If so, they will not appear in
your device menu. Contact your
network operator for more
information.
The following features in this device
may share memory: contacts, text
messages, ring tones, calendar, and
games. Use of one or more of these
features may reduce the memory
available for the remaining features
sharing memory. Your device may
display a message that the memory
is full when you try to use a shared
memory feature. In this case, delete
some of the information or entries
stored in the shared memory
features before continuing. Some of
the features, such as messages and
ring tones may have a certain
amount of memory specially allotted
to them in addition to the memory
shared with other features.
