preselection
You can use two lists to specify a call-bycall number (preselection number) that
will be automatically placed in front of
certain numbers when you dial them:
u List with preselection: In this list you
specify the prefixes or the first digits of
prefixes with which you wish the
preselection number to be used.
u List without preselection: In this list
you specify the "exception to the rule".
The "rule" is what you specified in the
"list with preselection".
OK.
Example:
You have entered "08" in the preselection
list. All numbers beginning with 08 will be
dialled automatically with the
preselection number.
Entering "081" in the list without
preselection restricts the above rule.
Numbers with 081 are now a specific
subgroup of the 08 numbers. All 081
numbers will be dialled without
preselection.
u 5 entries with up to 6 digits, and
u 6 entries with up to 2 digits.
Depending on the particular country, the
list "with preselection" may already
contain preset numbers. This means, for
example, that all national calls or calls into
the mobile phone network will be
automatically linked to the call-by-call
number which you have previously stored.
Dialling with and without preselection
(automatic call-by-call number)
When you press the talk/handsfree key the
first digits of the number you have dialled
are compared with both lists:
u If they match none of the entries on
either list or if they match an entry on
the list "without preselection", no callby-call number will be placed in front of
them. Not even if the first digits of the
number also match an entry in the list

MMS
The Multimedia Messaging Service
enables you to send and receive texts,
pictures, photographs and sounds in one
message. These elements are put together
as a "slide show" in the MMS message. An
MMS message comprises the content and
an address header. You can send an MMS
message to a telephone with MMS
function, mobile telephone or an email
address. Ask your network provider
whether they support MMS within the
fixed network.
Text messages are exchanged between
MMS centres that are operated by service
providers. You can only send and receive
text messages via the MMS centre that is
activated as the active send service centre.
An MMS message is normally sent via
Centre 1 (p. 34). Ask your service provider
if it provides this service. It may require
separate registration.
How to enter text is described from
page 60. You can use EATONI predictive
text (p. 60) to help you enter the text.

Care
Wipe the base and handset with a damp
cloth (use no solvent) or an antistatic
cloth. Never use a dry cloth. This can
cause static.
Contact with liquid
If the handset should come into contact
with liquid, switch it off. On no account
switch the device on. Remove the
battery immediately.
Allow the liquid to drain out of the device.
Then follow the instructions below:
1. Hold the device horizontally with the
open battery case facing down.
2. Hold the device vertically. Tilt the
device backwards and forwards
slightly, giving it a gentle shake each
time.
3. Pat all parts dry and keep the device in
a warm, dry place for at least 72 hours
with the battery compartment open
and with the keypad facing downwards
(do not place in a microwave, oven
etc.).
In many cases, you will then be able to use
it again.

Deactivating/activating predictive text
Predictive text is activated and deactivated
according to specific functions.
If you have deactivated predictive text for
directory entries, for example, it is still
activated for writing text messages.
Precondition: You are in a text input field
(MMS, SMS, name in the directory, speed
dial list or email directory).
The directory entries are normally sorted
alphabetically. Spaces and digits have
higher priority. The sort order is as
follows:
1. Space (shown here as s)
2. Digits (0–9)
3. Letters (alphabetical)
4. Other characters
If you want to work around the
alphabetical order of the entries, insert a
space or a digit in front of the name. These
entries will then move to the beginning of
the directory.
Names prefixed with a star appear at the
end of the directory.
