• The R250s PRO is a mobile phone, specially designed to be used when
working outdoors. Thanks to its rugged design the R250s PRO is very
resistant to external influences such as dust, rain and shock.
• The R250s PRO is the first mobile phone which supports GSM Pro. GSM
Pro is an extended feature of the GSM network, which supports group
calls and call monitoring. (GSM Pro requires a GSM Pro subscription.)
• The R250s PRO has an vibrating call alert, which means that the phone
vibrates when you receive an incoming call or message. This is a useful
function when you are working in a noisy environment, where you
cannot hear the phone signal.
• When you work in a noisy environment, you can use Ericsson handsfree
equipment in combination with ear protection equipment. At an incoming
group call, the call is answered automatically and you will hear the conversation in the earpiece.
• Key pad lock. The key pad lock prevents accidental dialling, which could
happen if you keep your phone attached to your belt. The key pad remains
locked until you receive an incoming call. While the key pad is locked,
you can still use the Push-T o-Talk button on the left side of the phone for
entering the phone book.
• Alert button. The R250s PRO is equipped with an alert button on the top
of the phone, which makes it easy to call a pre-set alert number.
Note! Please read the chapter “Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use” on
page 112, before using your mobile phone.

6 Preparing Your Phone for Use
When you register as a subscriber with a network operator, you get a SIM
(Subscriber Identity Module) card. The SIM card contains a computer chip
that keeps track of your phone number, the services included in your subscription, and your Phone Book information, among other things.
SIM cards come in two sizes. One is the size of a credit card, and the other is
smaller. Your phone uses the smaller card. Many credit card-sized SIM cards
have a perforated smaller card that you can take out easily. Before you can use
your phone, you must insert the SIM card as shown below.
Inserting the SIM Card
To insert the SIM card, remove the battery (if attached) and follow these steps:
THE SIM CARD
3. Open the holder.
1. Open the lid that covers the SIM
card holder.
2. Release the SIM card holder by
sliding it in the direction of the
arrow.
5. Lock the holder by pressing it
down and sliding it in the direction of the arrow in the picture.
6. Finally, close the lid.
4. Slide the SIM card into the
holder. Make certain that the cut
corner is in the top right-hand
corner.

The PIN
Most SIM cards are supplied with a security code or PIN (Personal Identity
Number), which you need to access the network. Every time you turn on your
phone, it prompts you to enter your PIN. You will find your PIN in the information from your operator.
You may need your PIN when you want to change the settings in your phone.
Furthermore, some operators may have services that require a second PIN,
your PIN2.
You should be careful with your PIN, since it is your protection against
unauthorized use of your subscription.
If your PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card is
blocked. If this happens, you can unlock it by using your PUK (Personal
Unblocking Key code), which you also get from your operator.
The R250s PRO comes with a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The
battery is not charged when you buy your phone, but there may be enough
power to turn the phone on. We recommend that you char ge the battery before
you use the phone for the first time.
The battery is specially designed for the R250s PRO. The battery has a special
locking mechanism that prevents it from falling off if you should drop the
phone on the ground.
The battery is equipped with a special rubber sealing to prevent leakage into
the phone. With the battery and antenna properly attached, the phone is dustand water-resistant. The phone can be used outdoors, even if it is raining and
the phone will not be damaged if you use it in a dusty environment.
Use only Ericsson original batteries. By using other batteries you risk damaging the phone and will void the warranty.

8 Preparing Your Phone for Use
Attaching the Battery
When to Charge the Battery
The nickel metal hydride battery that comes with your phone can be charged
whenever you wish without affecting its performance. This is not the case
with the cheaper nickel cadmium type batteries, often sold as accessories by
other suppliers. For the best talk and standby time in the long run, we recommend that you use only Ericsson original batteries with your phone.
Note! If you charge a new battery, or a battery that has not been used for a
long time, it may take a while until you get an indication of charging.
To remind you that you will soon need to charge the battery or replace it with
a charged one:
• an alarm signal (a long beep) sounds and the message
Battery low
appears
for ten seconds in the display. The signal is repeated several times.
• the indicator light on top of the phone starts flashing red.
Note! The phone turns itself off when the battery can no longer power it
satisfactorily.
2. Press the upper part of the battery
against the phone until you hear
two clicks.
1. Attach the battery to the bottom
part of the phone.

Charging the Battery
To indicate charging:
• the battery meter in the display pulses continuously.
• the indicator on top of the phone shows a steady red light (or green, if the
phone is turned on).
When the battery is fully charged, the battery meter in the display is full and
the indicator on top of the phone shows a steady green light.
Tip! You can use the phone while the battery is being charged. However, this
increases the charging time.
You can also connect the charger to the desk/wall stand that comes in your
box. Just place the phone in the desk/wall stand when you need to charge the
phone. See “Desk/W all Stand” on page99 for more information.
Disconnecting the Charger
3. Connect the other end of the
cable to the phone as shown in
the picture. The flash symbol on
the plug must face upwards.
1. Make sure that the battery is
attached to the phone.
2. Connect the charger to the mains.
• Push the plug connected to the phone upwards and pull it out.
• Attach the rubber protector to the system connector.

10 Preparing Your Phone for Use
Removing the Battery
Switching Antennas
The R250s PRO comes with two antennas. The longer antenna gives you better receiving signalling when you are within an area with poor radio coverage.
Please make sure that you switch antennas during dry conditions, to prevent
leakage into the phone.
Note! Do not use any antennas designed for other type of telephone. The
antenna is specially designed for the R250s PRO. With the antenna (and battery) properly attached the phone is water resistant. Using other antennas will
void the warranty.
3. Lift the battery up and away from
the phone.
1. Turn off the phone.
2. Press the battery release catch on
the top of the battery.
3. Attach the new antenna, screwing
it clockwise until it is properly
attached.
4. Insert the rubber plug into the
external antenna connector.
1. Pull out the rubber plug from the
external antenna connector.
2. Screw the antenna anti-clockwise
to remove it.

The Clips
The R250s PRO comes with two different clips:
• standard clip
• swivel clip.
The standard clip is a metal belt clip which is attached to the battery with a
screw.
The swivel clip is a belt holder which has a knob and a belt holder. The knob
is attached to the battery with a screw. The knob is round to allow the phone to
rotate in the holder. To prevent the phone from falling out of the clip, you need
to press a button to release the phone.
Attaching the Swivel Clip
2. Slide the phone downwards until
it locks.
3. To release the phone from the
belt holder: press and hold the
release button and pull the phone
upwards.
1. Attach the knob to the battery.

The system connector boot prevents connected accessories, e.g. a handsfree
set from falling out. When you use a portable handsfree and the phone is
attached to your belt, the handsfree will not fall out if you bend forward or sit
down.
The system connector boot also works as protection for the phone’s system
connector. W ith the system connector boot attached, you can charge the phone
outdoors, even if it is raining, or in a dusty environment without damaging the
phone’s system connector.
System Connector boot
SYSTEM CONNECTOR BOOT
1. Insert the handsfree plug or the
charger plug (or both) as shown in
the picture above. The flash and the
headset symbol must face upwards.
2. Pull the insert part of the system con-
nector boot through the system connector boot and attach it to the
phone’s system connector, as shown
in the picture to the right.
3. Pull the system connector boot over
the insert part and the phone, until it
is properly attached.
4. To release the System connector boot
from the phone, push it upwards and
pull it out.

Network Search
After you have turned on the phone (and entered your PIN), the Ericsson
name appears in the display and the phone searches for a network.
When a network has been found, the phone beeps three times. The indicator
light on the top of the phone flashes green once every second and your network operator’s name (in most cases abbreviated) appears in the display.
This is called standby mode. You can now make and receive calls.
Normally, the name of a network appears in the display after you have turned
your phone on, but sometimes there is no network within range that you can
use. The display then shows one of the following:
Searching
If the message Searching remains in the display, you are within range of a
network, but you are not allowed to use it. However, in an emergency, some
operators allow you to call the international emergency number 112. See
“Making and Receiving Calls” on page 19.

Checking the First Characters
If you have entered more characters than can be seen in the display, the first
characters are replaced by the l symbol. Press the
RIGHT
arrow key to check
the first characters.
The R250s PRO is equipped with an Alert button, located on the top of the
phone, next to the antenna (see “Overview” on page 4). The alert button
makes it easy to set up a call to a pre-set alert number, without having to enter
the number manually.
When you buy your phone the alert number (when using the Alert button) is
set to the international emergency number 112. This number can be changed,
if you prefer to use another alert number. For more information on how to
change the pre-set alert number, see “Personalizing Your Phone” on page 46.
Note! If you change the pre-set alert number (112), you must insert a SIM
card and enter the PIN code (if the card is locked). Otherwise the pre-set alert
number (112) will be dialled and not the number you have specified.
To make an alert call the alert button must be switched on. When you buy
your phone the alert button is set to on. The alert button must be held down for
1 second, before a call is set up. This is to avoid accidental dialling if you
press the button by mistake.
To make an alert call using the Alert button
1. Press and hold the
ALERT BUTTON
.
The call is set up and the number dialled is shown in the display. (The preset number is the international emergency number 112.)
2. Press
NO
to end the call.
Making Emergency Calls
Y ou can also make an emer gency call by entering the number in the same way
as when making an ordinary call.
To make an emergency call
1. Enter 112 (the international emergency number).
2. Press
YES
.
The display shows
Emergency
.
3. Press
NO
to end the call.
Note! Some Network operators may require that a SIM car d has been inserted
into the phone and, in some cases, that the PIN has been entered as well.
Some networks may not use the international emergency number 112.

.
If your subscription includes the Calling Line Identification service and the
caller’s network sends the number, you see the caller’s number at the bottom

made. This means that the receiver can see your phone number when you
make a call. However, some operators offer subscriptions where your phone
number is normally hidden.

Speakerphone
The R250s PRO is equipped with a speakerphone which, when on, increases
the earpiece/loudspeaker volume significantly.
The speakerphone is very useful when e.g you need to speak to someone on
the phone and continue using both hands. You may, e.g. receive some instructions over the phone that you need both hands to perform.
The speakerphone is also convenient when you want other people to participate in a conversation. Call the person you want to talk to, switch to speakerphone mode and place the phone on a table e.g. Now, all the people around the
table can talk to the person on the other end of the line.
Note! If you are using a GSM Pro SIM card, the speakerphone mode is not
available. Please refer to the information in chapter “GSM Pro” on page90.
To turn on the speakerphone you slide the mode switch on the right side of the
phone upwards (see “Overview” on page 4).
Tip! The phone has different volume settings for phone and speakerphone
modes. See “Earpiece Volume” on page 47.
Switching Between Phone and Speakerphone Mode
Y ou can switch between phone and speakerphone mode at any time: when the
phone is in standby; when you receive a call and during a call.
When you receive a call you can switch from phone to speakerphone mode or
vice versa to answer the call. The call will then be answered in the selected
mode.
To switch between phone and speakerphone mode
• Slide the
MODE SWITCH
upwards to go to speakerphone mode.
• Slide the
MODE SWITCH
downwards to go to phone mode.
When you switch mode the phone sends out a warning tone.
While the phone is in speakerphone mode, do not hold the phone close to your
