Limiting outbound calls (limit calls)
Limit calls is a function that allows you to control calls that can be
made from your phone. You can limit outgoing calls to specific segments of your Phone Book, while leaving incoming calls unaffected. Both limit calls and lock phone allow you to call 911 and your three stored emergency numbers. This function simply limits your outgoing calls whereas, locking your phone restricts your entire phone.
Setting Limitation
Off No limitation; calls can be made to any number. To incoming Only calls to 911 and stored emergency numbers can
be made.
to loc 1-9 You can only call Phone Book entries 1-9, 911 and
stored emergency numbers.

Making calls when outgoing calls are limited
If you’ve chosen to limit outgoing calls, it doesn’t matter how you attempt the call (e.g., dialing manually, from the Phone Book or Calls List) the phone number is checked against the Phone Book (pauses and links are ignored). If the number is not in the Phone Book or in a limited location, an error message is displayed. The phone number is still displayed when the standby display reappears, so you can edit it.

Fast four-digit dialing (fast 4 dial)
Fast 4 dial allows you to dial just the last four digits of a phone
number stored in your Phone Book. The last four digits of the number you want to dial must be unique (e.g., only one phone number in your Phone Book has those last four digits).
1 From the Extras menu, scroll and select Fast 4 Dial. 2 Scroll and select on or off.

Pauses and links
For entries with pauses or links, the four digits preceding the first pause or link in the entry are used to match the entered digits.
Call prefixing
It’s not unusual to leave out the area code when you store “local” numbers in your Phone Book. However, this may pose a problem when you travel. When you’re outside your normal area code and you want to call one of these local numbers, temporarily add the area code (prefix) and dial it like this:
1 Scroll and select the Phone Book entry you want to call, then
push Jog Dial to display the Options menu.
2 Scroll and select Prefix.
When prompted, enter the prefix (area code).

Storing Information
Your phone has an internal Phone Book for up to 199 entries (each with its own memory location number). Phone Book entries can be numbers up to 32 digits (phone, credit card, medical record, etc.) and corresponding names up to 12 characters. Things to keep in mind when creating your Phone Book:
• It’s a good idea to use the first nine memory locations for numbers you call most often.
• Consider whether you want to use last names first since it will affect searching your Phone Book.
Basic storage
Entries can be stored in your Phone Book from Standby mode or the Directory menu.
From standby mode
Enter the number you
1
want to save, then push Jog Dial.
2 Scroll and select

location.
To store it in another memory location, scroll to that memory location or use the keypad to enter the memory location number, then push Jog Dial. A confirmation message appears followed by the status of the Phone Book.

Special storage functions
Hyphens, pauses and links are special functions that can be stored in your Phone Book entries.
Hyphens in Phone Book entries
Your phone has a default setting of autohyphenation ON. When you enter digits, the phone assumes you are entering a standard U.S. phone number (such as 800-555-1234). Every fourth and eight character is a hyphen. To enter hyphens manually (to store a foreign phone number or other type of number), turn autohyphenation OFF (see page 68).
Using pauses and links to Send DTMF signals
Dual Tone Multiple Frequency (DTMF) is also known as “touch-tone”. Each key on your phone’s keypad generates a distinct tone (number tone). You use DTMF signals when you call electronic services such as answering machines, pagers, telephone banking services, etc. (e.g., a number that asks if you are calling from a touch-tone phone then prompts you to enter information using the keypad). DTMF signals can be used to route the call or identify the person calling. Instead of sending the number tones manually one-by-one using the keypad, you can store them in your Phone Book and send them at the touch of a key.
Notes
• You can send DTMF signals only during a call.
• To change the length of the DTMF transmission, see “Setting the keybeep length” on page 44.
When you dial a Phone Book entry that has a hard pause or link in it, the phone displays and dials only the numbers up to the hard pause or link. When prompted, press Jog Dial to release the hard pause or link and transmit the next set of digits. A time pause waits for a specified period of time before sending the second string automatically.
Pauses in Phone Book entries
The pause function allows you to save a phone number and corresponding DTMF signals together in the same Phone Book entry.
• 555-1212H123 is an example of calling 555-1212, then extension 123
using a hard pause.
• 555-1212T123 is an example of calling 555-1212, then extension 123
using a time pause.

SB200 29-36 phonebook 4/9/99, 2:21 PM30
Page 31
Linking Phone Book entries
Use the link function if the combined phone number and corresponding DTMF signals exceed 32 digits. 555-1234L50 is an example of calling 555-1234, then linking the number in memory location 50 (i.e., your medical record number).
Adding hyphens, pauses or links in a Phone Book entry
1 Enter all digits to be dialed prior to the hyphen, pause or
link, then push Jog Dial.
2 Scroll and select enter hyphen, hard pause, time pause or
enter link.
A special character is displayed (“-”, “H” , T or “L”) then the phone is ready to accept additional digits.
3 Enter the next set of digits, then push Jog Dial.
• If you chose enter hyphen continue entering digits as needed.
• If you chose time pause or hard pause, enter the digits (number tones) to be released.
• If you chose enter link, enter the memory location you used to store the digits (number tones).
4 When the entry is complete, scroll and select Save and
follow the remaining save prompts.
Sending DTMF signals manually from the Phone Book
You don’t have to include the DTMF signal(s) with the phone number (pause or link function). You can store the DTMF signals in a Phone Book memory location (as in the link function), then when needed, send the number tones manually from your Phone Book as follows:
1 Dial the phone number.

Use the Directory menu to locate the Phone Book entry that contains the numbers you want to send, then push Jog Dial.

Searching the Phone Book
Information stored in your Phone Book is sorted either alphabetically (the first character of the memory location) or numerically by memory location number. So, one way to search your Phone Book is to simply scroll using the Jog Dial. No matter how your Phone Book is sorted, you can find information quickly by searching alphabetically, by memory location or phone number. Once a Phone Book entry is displayed, you can call it by pressing

Press [7] four times to display entries that begin with “S”. If no entries that begin with that letter, it looks for the next letter on the key. If there aren’t any entries for any of the letters on the key, it searches for the first letter of the next key. Once the phone displays an entry, you can use Jog Dial to scroll up or down from there.

Sending and Receiving Data
You are able to use your phone to send and receive electronic data (such as e-mail, faxes and WWW). Your phone can be set to convert digital signals (which are used by computers) to analog signals (which are used in telephone communication). This function enables your phone to act as a modem allowing it to send and receive computer communications.
However, this capability is dependent upon your service provider being able to support it. Check with your service provider to see which of the following electronic data functions are supported in your area.
Electronic data using your phone and a computer
To send and receive electronic data, just connect your phone to a computer using the Sony Interface Cable (QN-012DAS) or Desktop Charger Speakerphone (QN-023DCS). These accessories include a “Data Communication Guide” which provides detailed information regarding sending and receiving data. You can also download the guide from the Sony Wireless website at www.sony.com/wireless.
Sending data
As long as your phone is connected to a computer, sending data or fax calls from your phone doesn’t require any special settings.
Receiving data
When your phone is connected to a computer and an incoming call is received, the Recv. Data setting tells your phone how to handle the transmission. It’s best to turn this function off unless you are expecting to receive data or fax calls. If you choose fax, data/modem or PC control, your computer routes the data accordingly and normal voice calls aren’t received. All settings except PC Control reset to off when you turn your phone off.

Rules and Regulations
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission and the Industry Canada regulate cellular/PCS telephone service in their respective countries. It is important for you, the cellular/PCS telephone user, to observe the applicable regulations when operating your cellular/PCS telephone in either country. In addition to these U.S. and Canadian federal regulations, you may be bound also by certain state, provincial, territorial, and local rules and regulations, as well as by your cellular/PCS carrier’s tariff (the rates, terms, and conditions of its service). If you wish to use your cellular/PCS telephone in both the U.S. and Canada, please consult with your System Operator.
Furthermore, you should remember that your cellular/PCS telephone is a radiotelephone, — i.e., it combines both wireline technology, as used in your home or office telephone system, and radio technology — and that the scope of regulations and precautions is therefore broader than the scope of regulations and precautions relating to wireline­only telephone usage.
Some of the major points of consideration are set out below. Please note, however, that these “Rules and Regulations” and “Safety Precautions” sections do not constitute legal advice, and are intended merely for general information purposes. If you have specific questions, please contact your cellular/PCS carrier (System Operator).
License — in the U.S., you do not require a separate license to operate your cellular/PCS telephone; obtaining a cellular/PCS telephone access number is sufficient to register you as a user. If your home system is in
If your home system is
60
Canada, a separate license is required; your carrier will assist you in the licensing process. If you wish to use your cellular/PCS telephone on both sides of the border, please contact your cellular/PCS carrier (System Operator).
Equipment modifications — The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has type-approved the model of cellular/PCS telephone which you have purchased, and has allocated a specific frequency range for cellular/PCS service. No changes or adjustments are to be made to your cellular/PCS telephone.
The radio equipment shall be made available for inspection upon request by representatives of the FCC or licensees.
Denial of service — A cellular/ PCS carrier may deny service temporarily or terminate service for violation of any government regulations or violation of its tariff.
Privacy — have come to assume a certain standard of privacy when you place or receive a telephone call via the traditional wireline systems. However, because cellular/PCS telephones utilize radio transmissions to effect calls, the same standard cannot always be assured. While it is unlawful for any unauthorized person to divulge or use any information obtained from intercepting or “listening in on” conversations intended for others, you should not assume that your conversation is completely secure. Commercially available scanning equipment can permit a third party to monitor the radio channels used for cellular/PCS telephone calls.
Interference — interfere with, or cause interference to, any radio communication or signal.

IMPORTANT
For safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guidelines.
Your dual band (analog/digital CDMA) hand-held portable cellular/ PCS telephone uses both analog frequency modulation (FM) technology and digital Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology. CDMA is a newer radio frequency (RF) technology than the FM technology that has been used for radio communications for decades.
Your dual band portable cellular/ PCS telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the phone is ON, it receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. The phone operates in the frequency range of 800 MHz in analog mode and 1.9 GHz in digital CDMA mode. When you use your phone, the cellular/PCS system handling your call controls the mode of operation (analog or digital CDMA) and the power level at which your phone transmits. In the analog mode, the power is continuously transmitted at a level that can range from about 6 mW to about 600 mW. In the digital CDMA mode, the power is transmitted as a digitally coded waveform at a rate varying from 100 Hz to 800 Hz. The average power can range from about 0.01 µW to about 300 mW.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Research on health effects from RF energy has focused for many years on FM radio technology. That research and studies regarding newer radio technologies, such as CDMA, have found no credible
health effects result from the use of cellular/PCS telephones.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1991, and The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1992, updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF energy. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry, reviewed the available research and developed this updated Standard. In March 1993, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated Standard.
The design of your phone complies with this updated Standard. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further than the updated ANSI Standard, you may choose to control the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power efficient manner.
Efficient phone operation
For your phone to operate at the lowest power level consistent with satisfactory call quality, please observe the following guidelines:
Your phone has an extendable antenna; extend it fully whenever possible for maximum efficiency.
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. While speaking directly into the mouthpiece, position the antenna up and over your shoulder.
Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use. Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed.

Heat and sunlight exposure
Avoid leaving your cellular/PCS phone exposed to direct sunlight or extreme heat. Extended exposure to heat and sunlight may damage the components of your cellular/ PCS phone.
Antenna care and replacement
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Take your phone to an authorized service center for repair.
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, and violate FCC regulations.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular/PCS telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your phone while driving, please:
• pay full attention to driving;
• use hands-free operation, if available;
• pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions so require.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from cellular/ PCS telephones may affect some electronic equipment.
RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. You should also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Medical devices
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when regulations posted in the areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft
Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft.
• Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
• Do not use in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent interference with aircraft communication systems, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.

Children
Do not allow children to play with your phone. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children also could damage the phone or make calls that increase your telephone bill.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle which contains your phone or accessories.
In the United States, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.
In Canada, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the Canadian Gas Association (CAN/ CGS-B149.2). For a copy of this standard, contact the Canadian Standards Association, 178 Rexdale Blvd., Etobicoke, ON M9W 1R3, Attn.: Standard Sales Department.
