This section introduces you to T-Mobile Wi-Fi compatibility and provides information on Wi-Fi and instructions on how to use this type of connection with your phone.
Introducing Your T-Mobile HotSpot @Home Capable Phone
Your phone is capable of connecting to T-Mobile via Wi-Fi (wireless Internet broadband) and GSM (cellular towers). When making voice calls or using data connections, your phone seamlessly transfers between Wi-Fi and GSM connections, always using the network with the best signal strength.
Your T-Mobile Wi-Fi compatible phone is capable of the following:
Connect to Wi-Fi at Home
Connect to T-Mobile through Wi-Fi if you have a wireless router set up in your home. Refer to the Get Started Poster (provided with your phone) and the User Guide for your wireless router for more information.
23
Page 27
Introducing Your T-Mobile HotSpot @Home Capable Phone
Connect to Wi-Fi while you're on the go (hotspots)
Connect to T-Mobile HotSpot locations all across the U.S. without needing a T-Mobile HotSpot username and password as well as any open Wi-Fi access point.
Connect to GSM
Connect to the GSM network when Wi-Fi is not available or if you are not interested in connecting to Wi-Fi.
Here's How it Works
Rather than using GSM radio as your phone normally would to connect to cellular towers, your T-Mobile Wi-Fi compatible phone uses UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access) technology to use a wireless broadband Internet connection for your mobile phone services. This includes voice calls, mobile browsing, e-mail, Picture Messaging, Text Messaging, and basically any mobile service for which your phone uses a network connection.
UMA technology offers fast, reliable connectivity using your mobile phone for virtually all of your communications. UMA connects your mobile phone to your GSM/ GPRS services through WLAN (802.11) and allows you to handle calls, send and receive messages, and check your e-mail. This technology allows you to use your mobile phone in all of the ways you normally do. The only difference with using UMA technology is that you are connecting through a wireless broadband Internet connection (Wi-Fi).
What is Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, is a term that is used generically to refer to any product or service using any type of 802.11 technology. Wi-Fi networks operate in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz radio bands, operating at up to an 11 Mbps (802.11b) or 54 Mbps (802.11g) data rate.
Wi-Fi enabled devices (laptops and PDAs as well as UMA phones) can send and receive data wirelessly from any location equipped with Wi-Fi access. This is accomplished using wireless routers, installed within a Wi-Fi location. A wireless router transmits an RF signal to Wi-Fi enabled devices that are within range of the router. Depending on the particular router, its range is usually about 300 feet. The speed of the transmission is governed by the speed of the internet connection fed into the wireless router.

What This Means to You
When you are not in range of a Wi-Fi connection, your normal cellular network takes over and keeps you connected. Your phone switches automatically from Wi-Fi to cellular whenever it's necessary to maintain your connection, whether your phone is in Idle mode or in the middle of an active call. The switching process is virtually unnoticeable.
Warning!: 9-1-1 Emergency Service available over Wi-Fi may be limited (it won’t work during electrical
power or broadband outages). Before using this phone to make calls over Wi-Fi, you MUST provide us with the primary street a ddress where you will use HotSpot @Home service, and you must furnish us with any address changes. Refer to T-Mobile’s Terms and Conditions for other limitations and information.
Connecting to Wi-Fi for the First Time
Important!: You must set up your wireless router first before using your phone to connect to Wi-Fi. For
T-Mobile routers, run the CD that comes with the router and follow its instructions. If you hav e a different router, follow its installation procedures and confirm the router is set up properly.
1. Press and hold the key to power on your phone.
2. Your phone displays a tutorial prompt. Select Ye s to run the brief tutorial.
3. At the end of the tutorial, your phone detects a Wi-Fi network and attempts

Changing the Text Input Mode
Section 6: Entering Text
Topics Covered
• Changing the Text Input Mode
• Using T9 Mode
• Using ABC Mode
• Using Number Mode
• Using Symbol Mode
This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode when entering characters into your phone. This section also describes how to use the T9 predictive text system to reduce the number of key strokes associated with entering text.
Changing the Text Input Mode
When using your phone, you often need to enter text, such as when storing a name in your Phonebook, creating your personal greeting or scheduling events on your calendar. You can enter alphanumeric characters by using your phone’s keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
T9 mode: this mode allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter.
Each key on the keypad has more than one letter; for example, you press to enter J, K, or L. However, the T9 mode automatically compares the series of keystrokes you make with an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the most likely word, thus requiring fewer keystrokes than the traditional ABC mode.
ABC mode: this mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the key labeled with
the corresponding letter.
Number mode: this mode allows you to enter numbers.
Symbol mode: this mode allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation
marks.
When you are in a field where you can enter characters, the text input mode indicator displays at the bottom right of the screen.
Example: Writing a text message.

each key only once for each letter.
Example: To enter “Hello” in T9 mode, press the 4, 3, 5, 5, and 6 keys.
