Congratulations…

…and thank you for choosing the SH 888, a mobile phone specially suited for the demanding user of communication tools. Retaining the slim, streamlined size that has become associated with the Ericsson family of phones, the SH 888 sets a new standard for others to follow.

Apart from its unique toughness and extraordinary sound quality, the SH 888 comes packed with features that will help you stay ahead. These are just some of the highlights:

• With the in-built modem, you can forget all about PC Cards. It is already inside your phone, guaranteeing you instant access to your PC, laptop or handheld communicator. Wireless if you prefer, thanks to its infrared capabilities.

• Dual band operation extends the potential for efficient network usage. Especially if you frequently use your phone in urban areas or travel abroad.

Like the other phones from Ericsson, the SH 888 is produced to meet the highest quality standards.

This guide introduces you to your SH 888 and shows you how to get the most out of it. Before you start, please read the ‘Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use’.

Please note that some of the functions and services described in this user’s guide are depending on your choice of network operator. Should you need additional information on how touse them, contact your operator.

Mobile Internet

When you are on the move and in need of communication and information, Mobile Internet is the answer.

Mobile Internet is a service supplied by Ericsson to facilitate easy communications and rapid information retrieval, wherever you are. It gives you access to on-line customer services, on-line user manuals, and useful information when you are out travelling. It allows you to down load various communication software which will ensure you achieve optimum results from your Ericsson products.

If you run into any problems, there are help texts connected to the different Mobile Internet pages.

The Internet address to Mobile Internet is

http://mobile.ericsson.com/mobileinternet

To get access to the service you also need a user id and a password. The first time you log on, please use the following:

User Id: mobile Password: internet Note that you must change user id and password the

first time you log on to Mobile Internet.

Press to enter the menu system. See inside the cover. 1

General Information

Operators & Subscription

To be able to use your phone, you need to have a subscription to a network. This is obtained from the network operator.

The services included in your subscription depend on your choice of operator and/or subscription. Therefore, some of the services and functions described in this manual may not be accessible to you. If you want a complete list of the services included in your subscription, please contact your network operator.

GSM 900/1800 Dual Band

The Ericsson SH 888 is a dual band phone, which means that you can use your phone in two different kinds of networks – the GSM 900 and the GSM 1800 (also called PCN or DCS 1800) systems.

The GSM 1800 system is practically the same as the GSM 900 system. The difference between the two is that they use different frequencies. GSM 900 uses 900 MHz frequency, whereas GSM 1800 uses 1800 MHz.

A dual band phone that combines the two standards can use both frequencies. This considerably increases capacity in densely populated urban areas, and consequently improves the coverage offered by your network operator. It will also offer you enhanced international roaming, thanks to the additional networks now available when you are out travelling.

The switching between the two systems is done automatically and seamlessly, which means that you can use your phone without ever having to consider which

system is best at the time. This is taken care of by the networks. However, you should note that the functions offered and the network coverage differ depending on your choice of operator and/or subscription.

SIM & PIN

You will obtain a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card with your subscription. The SIM card contains a computer chip that keeps track of your phone number, the services you have ordered from your network operator and your Phone Bookinformation, among other things.

Your SIM card is supplied with a security code or PIN (Personal Identity Number), which you need in order to gain access to the network. Your PIN may also be required when you want to change settings in your phone. Furthermore, some operators may have ser-vices that require a second PIN, your PIN2. You will find your PIN (and PIN2) in the information from your operator.

Every time you turn on your phone, it prompts you to enter your PIN. If the PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card will be blocked. If this happens you can unlock it by using your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key code), which you also get from your operator.

You should be careful with your PIN, since it is your protection against unauthorized use of your phone and subscription.

2 Press to enter the menu system. See inside the cover.

Preparing Your Phone for Use

The SIM Card

When you register as a subscriber with a network operator, you obtain a SIM card.

SIM cards come in two sizes. One is the size of a credit card, and the other is considerably smaller (about the size of a regular stamp). The SH 888 uses the smaller card. Many operators deliver credit card sized SIM cards which have a perforated smaller card that you can take out easily.

Before you can use your phone, you must insert the SIM card into the phone.

To Insert the SIM Card

To insert the SIM card, remove the battery (if attached) and follow these steps:

 Release the SIM card

holder by sliding it in the direction of the arrow.

 Open the holder.

 Slide the SIM card

into the holder. Make certain that the cut corner is top right.

Press to enter the menu system. See inside the cover. 3

The Battery

To Attach the Battery to the Phone:

 Close the holder.

 Lock the holder by

pressing it down and sliding it in the direction of the arrow in the picture.

Your mobile phone 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 on the phone. We recommend that you charge the battery before you use the phone.

Place the battery on the back of the phone.

  Press the battery upwards and against the

phone until it snaps into place.

To Remove the Battery

Make sure that the phone is turned off before removing the battery (see next chapter). Then:

 Press the catch on

the bottom of the battery.

 Lift the battery up

and away from the phone.

To Charge the Battery

Make sure that the battery is attached to the phone. Then:

 Connect the charger to the mains. (The box may

contain more than one mains plug. In this case, use the one that fits the wall socket.)

4 Press to enter the menu system. See inside the cover.

A green indicator on the charger lights up. If not, make sure you have put the plug into the charger correctly. (You may have to press hard.)

 Connect the clear plastic plug on the charger

cable to the charger. It is correctly inserted when it snaps into place.

 Connect the other

end of the cable to the phone according to the picture. The flash symbol on the plug must face upwards. Note that you may have to press hard.

The phone will automatically start charging the battery when you attach the charger. To indicate charging:

• the battery meter in the display is continuously filled and emptied.

• the indicator on top of the phone shows a steady red light (green, if the phone is turned on).

When the battery is fully charged, the battery meter in the display will show full and the indicator on top of the phone will show a steady green light.

Note! Itis possible to use the phone while the battery is being

charged. This will, however, increase the charging time.

To Disconnect the Charger

l

Twist the plug connected to the phone upwards and pull it out.

When to Charge the Battery

The nickel metal hydride battery that comes with your phone can be charged whenever you wish without losing performance. This is not the case with the cheaper nickel cadmium type batteries, often sold as accessories from other suppliers. For optimal talk and standby time in the long run, we recommend that you only use Ericsson original batteries with your SH 888.

To remind you that the battery will soon need to be charged or replaced with a charged one:

Press to enter the menu system. See inside the cover. 5

• an alarm signal (a long beep) sounds and the message ‘Battery low’ appears for ten seconds in the display.

• the indicator light on top of the phone starts blinking red.

Note! Ifthe phone is left turned on, the low battery alarm will

be repeated several times and, finally, the phone will turn itself off when the battery is no longer able to power it satisfactorily. It might be possible to turn the phone on again, but you will not be able to make or receive any calls. You should charge the battery or replace it with a charged one.

6 Press to enter the menu system. See inside the cover.

Turning On the Phone

To turn on the phone:

 Press and hold down the NO (ON/OFF) key until

you hear a click. The display prompts you to

If you enter your PIN correctly, ‘ERICSSON’ will appear in the display. The phone will then search for a network.

Note! If your PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row,

the SIM card will be blocked and you will have to unblock it using your PUK code. See chapter ‘Security’.

When a network is found, the phone beeps three times. The indicator light on top of the phone flashes green once every second and your network operator’s name (in most cases abbreviated) is shown in the display. If you have the charger connected, the indicator will show a steady green light instead of a flashing one.

You can now make and receive calls. This is called standby mode.

When No Network Name Is Displayed

If the message ‘Emergency calls only’ is displayed, you are within range of a network but you are not allowed to use it. However, in an emergency, you can call the international emergency number 112. See chapter ‘Making and Receiving Calls’.

If the message ‘No network’ is displayed, there is no network within range or the received signal is too weak. You have to move to obtain a sufficiently strong signal.

The Phone Book

The Phone Book in your SH 888 lets you store and recall phone numbers. This means that the phone can store all your important numbers. You do not have to remember them or carry your address book around.

The Phone Book also keeps track of your last dialled numbers and, if you subscribe to the Calling Line Identification service, the last answered numbers. Convenient if you have to call someone back.

When you receive a call and the caller’s number is in the Phone Book, you will see the name in the display.

Tip! Your SH 888 comes with the Ericsson Mobile Office

Suite software. When installed on your computer, the

Mobile Office Suite lets you manage your Phone Book from your computer in a simple way.

You can find more information about the Mobile Office Suite in the chapter ‘The Mobile Office Suite’.

Before You Start

Before you start creating your personal Phone Book, there are a few things you need to know. In this section, you will learn about the two different memories and how to store thenumbers with the international prefix.

We also recommend that you at this stage read the section about entering characters, even though you might need to go back to this when you follow the instructions later on.

Phone Book Memories

You can store your phone numbers in two different memories:

• the card memory on the SIM card,

Note! In the ‘Phone book’ menu, press # to enter the ¤ charac-

STORE 11 John, office +4646123456

• the phone memory.

Storing your numbers in the card memory allows you to use the numbers stored on the SIM card even when you change phones, i.e. when you insert your SIM card into another phone.

On the other hand, by storing your numbers in the phone memory, they are always available to you on your phone, even if you change SIM cards.

The memory positions in the card memory are numbered from 1 onwards. The actual number of memory positions available dependson your SIM card.

The phone memory can hold up to 99 phone numbers. The memory positions are labelled ¤1–¤99.

ter. Outside the ‘Phone book’ menu, you must press and hold down # to enter the ¤ character.

International Numbers

If you intend to use your phone both at home and abroad, you should store all phone numbers as international phone numbers, that is with the ‘+’ sign – which automatically will be replaced by the international dialling prefix for the country you are calling from – followed by the country code, then the area code and the phone number.

• To enter the (+) sign, press and hold 0.

• Omit any leading zero in the area code.

Press to enter the menu system. See inside the cover. 15

Press YES.

When the Memories are Full

• If you try to store a phone number when all the positions in the card memory are full, a position number in the phone memory will be suggested on the top row of the display.

• If both memories are full, no position number will be suggested. If you still wish to store the phone number, you have to erase the old number by entering a position that is already occupied.

To Store a Number With a Tone Signal Code

To use telephone banking services or control a phone answering machine, you will need to use codes. These codes are sent as tone signals (also called DTMF tones or touch tones).

If you want to save the phone number in the Phone Book with the codes:

 Follow the instructions on how to store a phone

 After entering the phone number, press and

hold the*key until the pause character ‘p’ appears.

 Enter the code.  If needed, insert another pause, another code

and so on.

 Continue following the instructions on how to

store a phone number.

To make a call with tone signal codes, proceed as described in ‘Making and Receiving Calls’. When you make the call, the phone dials the number, waits until the call is answered and then sends the code. If you inserted another pause and another code, it will pause again, send the next code and so on.

Recalling a Phone Number

The Speed Dialling Facility

You can call the phone numbers that you store in the positions 1–9 in the card memory by entering the position number and then pressing YES. Therefore, you should save positions 1–9 for important numbers.

For example: If you want to call John, whose number is stored in position 3 in the card memory:

 Enter the digit 3.  Press YES.

Hiding or Showing Your Number When Making a Call

With most common subscriptions, the caller’s number is sent when a call is 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.

If you want to change the setting for a particular call, this is possible provided the network you use supports it.

To hide your phone number for a particular call, when you recall a number from the Phone book:

 Recall the phone number, but press NO instead

of YES. The number is now shown in the standby dis-

play.
