Using the Battery

Battery Capacity

Your phone is equipped with a standard Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows
you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The standard battery
provides approximately 3 hours of continuous digital talk time (1.5 hours in
analog) or approximately 216 hours of continuous digital standby time (15
hours in analog).
The extended battery provides approximately 4 hours of continuous digital
talk time (2 hours in analog) or approximately 288 hours of continuous digital
standby time (20 hours in analog).
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When
there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an
audible alert and then powers down.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, camera usage

and browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery

before it runs out of power.

Installing the Battery

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level
becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off. For a quick check of
your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the
upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge is

Understanding Roaming

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you are roaming, your phone will display the Roaming icon . When
the roaming icon is displayed, you are outside of your home network and you
will be charged a higher per minute rate for calls.

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality
provided by other analog carriers today. Although some features, such as
Mobile Web services and Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still
make and receive calls and access voicemail. You will experience a few
differences:

 You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and

dropped calls.

 Some features which are standard on the network, such as call

waiting, web services, and direct international dialing, are unavailable.

 Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming,

you will not receive notification until you return to the network. While
roaming, you can periodically check your voicemail for new messages
by dialing 1+area code+your Phone Number.

 There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that

exist with conventional analog services today.

 Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for

analog roaming.

Activating Voice Recognition

Voice recognition allows you to say commands to perform common functions
supported by your phone. There is no voice training required to use the voice
recognition feature. You simply say the pre-designated command displayed
on your screen in a normal tone of voice to perform the desired function.
To activate voice recognition:

1. Press and hold .

2. The phone prompts you to say a voice command. Wait for the beep

and then say one of the following commands:

 Digit Dial
 Name Dial
 Voice Memo
 Phone book
 Browser
 Play Games

When it recognizes one of these commands, the phone launches the
associated application. If the phone does not hear a command within
approximately eight seconds, it de-activates voice recognition without taking
any action.

Note: If you want to use a different button to activate voice recognition, press

for Launch Pad. On this menu, you can change button assignments,

including the button used to launch "Voice Dial," which is the voice recognition
application.

Digit Dial

Digit Dial allows you dial any valid 7 or 11 digit North American phone
number by speaking the number naturally, without pausing between the
digits.
Tips for using Digit Dial:

 Digit Dial works best in quieter environments.

 When saying a number, speak at a normal speed and say each digit

clearly. There is no need to pause between digits.

72 Voice Services

 The phone recognizes the digits one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

eight, nine, zero, and oh. The phone does not recognize numbers such
as "one eight hundred" for "1-800." Instead, say "one-eight-zero-zero."

 The phone recognizes only valid 7, 10, or 11 digit North American

phone numbers.

 If your phone does not usually recognize you correctly when you are

using Digit Dial, try adapting Digit Dial to your voice, which can
significantly improve accuracy for some speakers. See the section
"Adapting Digit Dial" for details.

To place a call using Digit Dial:

1. Activate voice recognition by pressing and holding . The phone

prompts you for a command.

2. Say Digit Dial. The phone prompts you to say the number.

3. Say a valid 7, 10 or 11 digit North American phone number

naturally and clearly.

4. If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by the correct

number, say "Yes." You can also select the correct number from
those displayed on the screen by pressing on the correct
number. The phone will then dial the number.

5. If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by an incorrect

number, say "No." If there are other alternatives, the phone will
prompt you with the next one. You can also press the navigation
key up or down to select the correct number from the Choice List,
and then press to dial.

Note: In some cases, the phone might ask you to repeat a number. Make sure that

the number is a valid 7, 10, or 11 digit North American phone number, and then say
the number again. If the number isn't valid, or if the phone still doesn't understand
the number on the second try, it will not place a call.

Enabling/Disabling Digit Dial Choice Lists

Adapting Digit Dial

Digit Dialing is speaker independent, which means that no training or
adaptation is required. Some users with heavy accents or unusual voice
characteristics may find difficulty in achieving high accuracy with speaker
independent digit dialing, so the Adapt Digits feature allows users to
dramatically improve the digit accuracy through adaptation. Users who get
acceptable digit recognition accuracy will find no additional benefit to
performing the Adapt Digit adaptation.
After you adapt Digit Dial, your phone will be customized to your voice. Other
people will not be able to use Digit Dial on your phone unless they reset the
phone to factory defaults.

Important: ONLY adapt Digit Dial if the system is frequently misrecognizing your

speech. You can always restore the system to its original factory setting.

Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences to teach the system
your voice. The adaptation process takes about 3 minutes.
Tips for adapting Digit Dial:

 Adapt digits in a quiet place.

74 Voice Services

 Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to speak.

noises), say "Yes ." If you need to re-record the digits to fix any
problems, say "No." The phone then prompts you to say the digits
again. Wait for the beep, and then record the digits again. Repeat
this step until you are satisfied with the recording.

7. After confirming that the recording sounds ok, repeat the recording

process with the next set of digits. After six sets of digits, the phone
will ask you whether you want to do more adaptation. Answer "Ye s."

8. Repeat steps 4-8 for another six sets of digits. After the sixth set of

digits, you will be half way through the session and the phone asks
“More Adaptation?”. Select OK to continue for six more sets of
digits, or press for partial adaptation. When you are finished
with a full session, you will reach a screen that reads, “Adaptation
Complete”.

least once to achieve the maximum benefit of this feature. If a partial adaptation is
