TTY Use With Handset

A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone), is a telecommunications
device that allows people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who have
speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone.
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with
the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital
wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device will connect via a
special cable that plugs into your phone's headset jack. If this cable
was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device
manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.

To turn TTY Mode on or off:

1. Press followed by the left
softkey . (A brief explanation of TTY Mode will display.)

2. Press the left softkey again to continue.

3. Press the navigation key up or down to select Enable TTY

or Disable TTY and press to save and exit.

Note: In TTY Mode when your headset is plugged in, your phone will

display the TTY access icon. If TTY mode is enabled, the headset cannot
be used.

IMPORTANT 911 Emergency Calling: We recommend that TTY users

make emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications
Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and land line communications.
Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when received by public
safety answering points (PSAPs) rendering some communications
unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY
equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to
the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community
are currently working to resolve this.

Roaming

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the
network. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on
where you’re using your phone.

Roaming Indicator Analog Indicator

Network

Other Digital Networks

Roaming

Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you’re roaming, your call quality and security will be similar to
the quality you receive when making calls on your home network. You
may not be able to access certain features, such as web services.

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 Browser 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.

Roaming 32

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

waiting, web browser, 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. Press when you hear your greeting and
enter your passcode at the prompt.

• 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 in analog mode, whether in network or roaming.

Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the network and enter an area

where roaming is available, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in
an area where you think service is available, turn your phone Off and On
again to reconnect to the network.

Setting Your Phone’s System

Your phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the
Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone
accepts. Choose from three different settings on your phone to
control your roaming experience:

1. Press the left softkey for Menu.

2. Press for Settings.

3. Press for Others.

4. Press for Set System.

5. To select an option, highlight it and press .

33 Roaming

• Automatic: This setting seeks service. When service is

unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate system.

• Home Only: This setting allows you to access the home

network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

• Digital Only: This setting allows you to access digital

service only, preventing access on analog networks.

• Analog: This setting allows you to access analog service

only, preventing access on digital networks.

• AMPS Home: This setting allows you to use your carrier’s

analog service only, preventing access on digital or other
analog networks.

Set NAM

This setting allows you to associate your mobile identification
number (MIN) to your phone’s electronic serial number (ESN).

1. From the standby screen, press
followed by for Set NAM.

2. Enter the service code provided to you by your service
provider.

Using Voice Dial

Voice Dial allows you to dial any valid 7, 10 or 11 digit North
American phone number by speaking the number naturally, without
pausing between the digits. It also allows you to dial by pronouncing
a name stored in your Contacts.
Tips for using Voice Dial:

• Voice 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.

• 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."

Voice Services

• 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 Voice Dial, try adapting Voice Dial to your voice,
which can significantly improve accuracy for some speakers.
(See "Changing Voice Dial Sensitivity" on page 91 for details.)

To place a call using Voice Dial:

1. Activate voice recognition by pressing and holding .
(The phone prompts you for a command.)

2. Say Voice Dial. (The phone prompts you to say the number
or Contact name.)

3. Say either a name stored in your Contacts or a valid 7, 10 or
11 digit North American phone number naturally and
clearly.

Voice Services 86

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.)

6. Alternatively, you can call a person in your Contacts by
saying the full name of the person you want to call, exactly
as it is entered in your Contacts. (The phone plays the name
through the earpiece and displays it on the screen.)

• If you said a name listed in your Contacts that has more

than one number associated with it, the phone displays the
different locations (Home, Work, Mobile, Pager, Fax) and
asks you which one to dial. Say one of the location names
and the phone will dial the number for the location you
specified.

Note: In some cases, the phone might ask you to repeat a name or

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.

Customizing Voice Dial

Adapting Voice Dial

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

background 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.)
