Driving Safety Tips

NOTE: For safety and legal reasons (in many countries), do not use

your phone while driving.

Check and follow the local laws regarding the use of mobile phones while driving.

Safety — Your most important call. The Wireless Industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.

1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable features most phones offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work to memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial function without taking your attention off the road.

2. When available, use a hands free device. A number of hands free wireless phone accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted device for your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if available to you.

3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure you place your wireless phone within easy reach and where you can grab it without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.

4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the road.

5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading an address book or business card or writing a “to do” list while driving a car, then you are not watching where you are going. It's common sense. Don't get caught in a dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.

6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. If possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be stopped at a stop sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip — dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix — they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel of a car. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend conversations which have the potential to divert your attention from the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous situations — with your phone at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless phone provides you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in your community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.

nextel.com

10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless nonemergency assistance number when necessary.

Certain situations you encounter while driving may require attention but are not urgent enough to merit a call for emergency services. But you still can use your wireless phone to lend a hand. If you see a brokendown vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears to be injured or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special nonemergency wireless numbers.

SIM Card

Your phone comes with a built-in level of security protection through the use of the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card. The SIM card stores all your Phonebook information and your Nextel account identification information. Since this information is stored on the SIM card, not in your phone itself, you can remove the information by removing the SIM card.

The SIM card is located in the SIM card holder on the back of the phone, underneath the battery. You can verify the SIM card is in place by removing the battery and viewing the SIM card through the SIM card cover.

See “Inserting/Removing the SIM Card” on page 22 for information on locating the SIM card. If there is no SIM card in your phone, notify your Nextel Authorized Representative.

NOTE: Except for making emergency calls, your phone will not

function without the SIM card.

SIM Card Personal Identification Number (PIN)

To prevent unauthorized use of your account, you can protect your SIM card by enabling the SIM PIN security feature. With the SIM PIN enabled, you must enter your PIN each time the phone is powered on. You can change or disable your PIN if desired.

NOTE: It is recommended that you enable the SIM PIN security feature

to prevent fraudulent use of the SIM card.

Enabling/Disabling the PIN Security Feature

When the PIN security feature is enabled, you are prompted to enter your PIN each time you turn on your phone. Until a valid PIN is entered, you can use the phone only to make emergency calls.

After the PIN is accepted, the phone registers on the network and the idle screen displays.

When the PIN security feature is disabled, the phone can be used without entering a PIN.

It is recommended that you enable the PIN security feature to protect personal data on your SIM card. This prevents anyone from

C a u t i o n

using your phone and accessing your personal data.

At the idle screen, press q and then press R to scroll to Settings.

Press C under SELECT. The Settings screen displays.

Press R to scroll to Security. Press C under SELECT to access the Security screen.

At the Security screen, press R to scroll to SIM PIN. Press C under SELECT to access the SIM PIN screen.

Press R to scroll to On or Off. On enables the SIM PIN security feature; Off disables the SIM PIN security feature. Press C under SELECT.

At the Verify SIM PIN Code screen, enter the current SIM PIN and press C under OK.

NOTE: The default SIM PIN is 0000.

Once you have enabled the SIM PIN security feature, it is recommended that you change your PIN to a number known only to you (see “Changing the PIN” on page 20).

Using T9® Text Input

Your i90c phone has embedded software, called T9® Text Input, that makes typing on a phone keypad much like typing on a computer keyboard: it eliminates the traditional “multi-tap” method of text entry. As you type, you press only one key per letter. T9 Text Input matches your keystrokes to words in its linguistic database of approximately 60,000 words and proper names. You may also store additional words you frequently use in your own user database, which is incorporated into the T9 database.

T9 Text Input is available when you are typing information into your phone (for example, in the Phonebook or Datebook) and while using Nextel Wireless Web services.

nextel.com

Using T9® Text Input

T9 Text Input Entry Modes

Four text entry modes are available in T9 Text Input: Alpha, Word, Symbols, and Numeric. When you are using T9 Text Input, an icon in the top right corner of your phone’s display screen (next to the battery strength indicator icon) indicates the T9 Text Input entry mode you are using:

Phonebook Entries and Speed Dial Numbers

Your Phonebook can store multiple numbers to a single name. For example, you can enter someone’s name into your Phonebook once and then add that person’s home, office, mobile phone and fax numbers to the name. You can store up to seven phone numbers, a Private ID, and an IP address.

Each number stored in your Phonebook is automatically assigned a Speed Dial number that corresponds to its location in your Phonebook. Each phone number uses one Speed Dial location, even if it is assigned to the same name as other phone numbers. The phone number stored in location 1 is assigned Speed Dial number 1, the phone number stored in location 2 is assigned Speed Dial number 2, and so forth, to location 250.

Pause Digit Entry

When storing a number, you can program your phone so it will not only dial a number but also pause before entering another series of numbers such as a personal identification number (PIN) or password. This feature is particularly useful for accessing automated services such as voice mail and banking systems from your i90c phone.

Example: Let’s say you have a company voice mail account that you frequently check while traveling. And, to access that account you must do the following:

• dial your work number

• press # while the voice mail greeting is being played

• enter your PIN to access your messages

You can program your phone to enter all of the above information for you by separating each entry with a pause. The stored data would look like this: 17035551234P#P1234. In this example, the first eleven digits represent the number that must be dialed to access your voice mail. The P represents a 3 second pause. The # interrupts your greeting. The second P represents another 3 second pause. The last four digits represent your PIN.

To create a three-second pause, follow the steps below:

Press and hold * for two seconds. The pause symbol (P) will appear on the display screen.

NOTE: You can enter up to 20 characters in a single entry, stored or

dialed. You can program your phone to pause for more than 3 seconds. Performing the above step twice will program two pauses and cause your phone to wait 6 seconds before entering the next set of numbers.

Plus Dialing

This feature enables you to place an international call from most countries — without entering the local international access code. Use Plus Dialing for all Phonebook entries if you plan to travel outside the United States. Begin by following the instructions for “Adding Phonebook Entries” on page 46. Before you type the phone number to be stored:

Press and hold 0 for two seconds. A “0” appears, then changes to a “+”.

NOTE: The network translates the “+” into the appropriate

international access code needed to place the call.

Enter the country code, city code, or area code (as needed), and phone number.

Follow the rest of the instructions for “Adding Phonebook Entries” on page 46.
