1.With the battery in position on the phone, plug the connector of the travel adapter into the jack at the bottom of the phone.

Make sure that the arrow on the connector is facing toward the front of the phone.

2.Plug the adapter into a standard AC wall outlet.

Note: Do not remove the battery from the phone without unplugging the adapter while it is charging. Otherwise, the phone may be damaged.

Low Battery Indicator

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, the battery sensor will let you know by blinking the empty battery strength icon ( ) and you will hear a warning tone and a “LOW BATTERY WARNING!” message will be repeated at regular intervals on the display. When the battery becomes too weak for the phone to operate, it switches off automatically.

Switching On or Off the Phone

2.Press and hold the key for more than one second to switch on the phone.

19

Getting Started

Pause Dialing

When you call an automated system, like a banking service, you are often required to enter a password or an account number. Instead of manually entering the numbers each time, you can store the numbers in your Phonebook, separated by pauses.

Storing Pauses in a Phonebook Entry

To store a number in your Phonebook that contains pauses:

1.Enter the phone number you want to store, such as a bank’s teleservice phone number.

2.Press the Pause soft key to insert a pause. A “P” displays, meaning that a hard pause will occur at that point in the dialing sequence.

The “P” stops the dialing and waits for the teleservice to prompt you for a number. The number following the “P” is your account number, etc.

3.Enter the digits that need to follow the pause, such as your account number.

4.Repeat steps 2 and 3 to add more pauses and numbers, if necessary.
