 1. Important Safety Information
Traffic Safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a
vehicle. If using a hand-held telephone park the vehicle
before conversing.
Always secure the phone in its holder; do not place the
phone on the passenger seat or where it can break
loose in a collision or sudden stop.
The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights
or horn on public roads is not permitted.
Remember road safety always comes first!
Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in
any area and always switch off your phone whenever it
is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference
or danger.
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment,
including cellular telephones, may interfere with the
functionality of inadequately protected medical devices.
Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical
device if you have any questions. Other electronic
equipment may also be subject to interference.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment,
users are advised that for the satisfactory operation of
the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that the equipment should only be used
in the normal operating position.
Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a
refueling point (service station). Users are reminded of
the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution
areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are
in progress.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or
explosive materials in the same compartments as the
phone, its parts or accessories.

1
Only qualified personnel should install or service the
phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be
dangerous and may invalidate the warranty.
Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid
braking systems, electronic cruise control systems and
other electronic systems can malfunction due to the
lack of protection from radio signals.
Check regularly that all cellular phone equipment in a
vehicle is mounted and operating properly.
Switch off your cellular phone when in an aircraft. The
use of cellular telephones in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the
cellular network, and is illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to
suspension or denial of cellular telephone services to
the offender, or legal action or both.
Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT!
This phone, like any cellular telephone, operates using
radio signals, cellular and landline networks, and
user-programmed functions which cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never
rely solely upon any cellular phone for essential
communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls this phone
must be switched on and in a service area with
adequate cellular signal strength. Emergency calls may
not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain
network services and/or phone features are in use.
Check with local service providers.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all
the necessary information as accurately as possible.
Remember that your cellular phone may be the only
means of communication at the scene of an accident -
do not cut off the call until given permission to do so.

2
If certain features are in use (Keyguard, Locking, Call
Restricting, etc.), you may first need to turn those
features off before you can make an emergency call.
Consult this document and your local cellular service
provider.
Emergency calling →If the phone is not
on, switch it on
→press and hold C
to clear display
→key in emergency
number for your
present location (e.g.
911 or other official
emergency number)
→press U
Note: Emergency numbers vary by location.
Using this Owner’s Manual
The cellular phone described in this manual is approved
for use in AMPS/TDMA networks. A number of features
included in this guide are called Network Services. They
are special services provided by cellular service
providers.
Before you can take advantage of any of these Network
Services, you must subscribe to them through your
home service provider. You can then activate these
functions as described in this guide. The manual
activation commands for various services are not
presented in this guide (e.g. ∗ and # characters for
activating or deactivating services). The phone
nevertheless is capable of handling commands given in
that form. For these commands please consult with
your service provider.
WARNING!
Use only batteries, antennas, chargers, and
accessories approved by the phone manufacturer. The
use of any other types will invalidate any approval or
warranty applying to the telephone, and may be
dangerous.

3
FCC/INDUSTRY CANADA NOTICE
Your phone may cause TV or radio interference (e.g.
when using telephone in close proximity of receiving
equipment). The FCC/Industry Canada can require you
to stop using your telephone if such interference cannot
be eliminated. If you need assistance, contact your
local dealer.
This device complies with parts 15 and 68 of the
FCC rules. Operation is subject to the condition
that this device does not cause harmful
interference.

 3. The Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. Use
only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and
recharge your battery only with the chargers approved
by the manufacturer.

A new battery’s full

performance is achieved only
after two or three complete
charge and discharge cycles!

Note: This chapter gives only the basics for battery

usage. See “Accessories” for more information on
chargers and other accessories.

Charging a battery with
Fast Travel Charger
(ACH-4U)
Ê Connect the lead
from the charger to
the bottom of the
phone.
Ë Connect the charger
to a standard 120V AC outlet.
When the battery is charging, the battery
indicator on the right side of the display
scrolls. Allow the battery to completely
charge. Charging is finished when the
segments stop scrolling.
The charging times depend on the type of the
battery and the charger used.
See the “Accessories” chapter for details.
When charging is finished, disconnect the charger from
the AC outlet and from the phone. When you
disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and
pull the plug, not the cord.
Discharging the battery
Either leave your phone switched on until it turns itself
off or use the battery discharge facility of any approved
accessory available for your phone. The battery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will
eventually wear out. When the operating time is
noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new
battery.
Battery Charge
The phone gives you a warning tone and the message
BATTERY LOW when only a couple of minutes of talk time
remain. When no more battery power remains, you get
a Recharge Battery Tone and the message RECHARGE
BATTERY. The phone switches itself off.
Connect your phone directly to a charger or place it on
a charging stand with the power on or off to begin
charging.

8
Note: In some vehicles, the ignition must be on in order
to charge the phone with the cigarette lighter adapter.
If the message NOT CHARGING is displayed, charging is
suspended. Check that the battery is not overheated
(over 104°F/40°C), too cold, or connected to a
non-approved charging device. Wait for a while,
connect the charger to the phone again and retry. If
charging still fails, contact qualified service personnel.
Important Battery Information
For good operation times, discharge the battery from
time to time by leaving your phone switched on until it
turns itself off or by using the battery discharge facility
of any approved accessory available for your phone. Do
not attempt to discharge the battery by any other
means.
When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the
power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a
charger for longer than a week; overcharging may
shorten its life.
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself
in about a week at room temperature.
When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in a
cool, dark and dry place.
Temperature extremes affect the ability of your battery
to charge: it may require cooling or warming first.
Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short
circuiting can occur when a metallic object (e.g. coin,
clip, or pen) causes direct connection of the + and -
terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of the
battery), for example when you carry a spare battery in
your pocket or purse. Short circuiting the terminal may
damage the battery or the connecting object.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or
worn out.

9
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a
closed car in summer or winter conditions, reduces the
capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep
the battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). A
phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not
work, even if the battery is fully charged. NiMH battery
performance is particularly limited in temperatures
below 14°F (-10°C).
The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts.
Do not attempt to open the case.
Do not dispose of a battery in a fire! Dispose of used
batteries in accordance with local regulations. Recycle!

The phone can make and receive calls only when it is
switched on and is located in the cellular network’s
service area.

The phone automatically switches itself off if the

operating temperature exceeds 158°F (70°C).

Signal Strength
The stronger the radio signal, the better
the call quality. The higher the column on
the left side of the phone display, the
better the signal at your location.
If the signal strength is not good, try
moving the phone slightly. In a building,
reception may be better near a window.
Access Codes
Your phone uses several access codes that can protect
against unauthorized use of the phone.
When requested to do so, key in the code (appears as
asterisks) and press left F (OK). If you make a keying
mistake, press C repeatedly to erase digits one at a
time.

You cannot change the Security Code. If you need a
new one, contact your dealer. The default is 12345.
If you enter an incorrect security code (CODE ERROR) five
times in a row, the phone won’t accept any entries for
the next five minutes.
Lock Code
You need the 4-digit lock code to turn on the Automatic
Phone Lock in Menu 5 1, or to change the Lock Code

 9. Touch Tones
Your phone is a “Touch Tone” phone, meaning that it
creates certain sounds when you press the keys.
These sounds can be used for many automated, over-
the-phone services such as checking your bank
balance, using your voice mailbox options, and even
checking airplane arrival and departure times.
Touch Tones are called “DTMF” (Dual Tone
Multifrequency) tones in the phone.
Sending Individual Press keys during call.
Touch Tones
Touch Tones can be used only when a call is active. You
would use the Individual Touch Tone feature when, for
example, you are prompted to “press 1 and then the
star (*) button”. You would simply press 1 *.
Note: Individual Touch Tones can be sent only if Menu 4
3 is not set to Off. Menu 4 3 is described in this section.
Sending Strings of During a call, with the
Touch Tones display empty:
Õ Recall from memory
the string you want to
send
Õ F
left (Menu)
U
then

You can transmit Touch Tones one by one by pressing

the keypad during a call. Additionally, you can store a
whole digit sequence in a memory location and send it
as Touch Tones. You could use this for frequently-used
strings of numbers, such as your bank account
number.
The phone sends (as Touch Tones) the digits that are
currently on the display. You may also press and hold
F
left (Menu) then press ▼ to Send DTMF then left F
F
(OK) then left (Quit) to send a string of Touch Tones.
To store a Touch Tone Store Touch Tone
string strings the same way as
you store phone
numbers.

27
For example, you could store your bank account
number in the personal directory.
To store Touch Tone ÕKey in the phone
strings with a phone number
number Õpress ∗∗∗ (p) or
∗∗∗∗ (w)
Õkey in the Touch
Tone string
Õstore the number in
the normal way

∗∗∗ creates a “p” (pause) character. When you recall

this number sequence from memory and press U ,
the phone dials the phone number, pauses 2.5
seconds, then sends the DTMF digits. You can add as
many “p” characters as you need.
∗∗∗∗ creates a “w” (wait) character. When you recall this
number sequence from memory and press U , the
phone dials the phone number, then waits for you to
press the leftF (DTMF). This is handy if you are calling
a number that then prompts you to enter information,
such as your bank account number.
To link a stored phone ÕKey in the phone
number to DTMF digits number
in another memory Õpress ∗∗ (+)
location Õkey in memory
location storing the
DTMF string
Õ store the number in
the normal way

Use this if the phone number and DTMF digits do not fit
in one storage location; it links the phone number to
the memory location storing the DTMF string.
∗∗ creates a “+” (link to another memory location).
When you recall this number sequence from memory
and press U , the phone dials the phone number,
displays digits stored in the memory location you have
entered, then sends them as Touch Tones.

28
Entering only a “+” at the end of a stored number
causes the phone to prompt you for a memory location
after the call is connected. The phone expects a
memory location after the “+” character. Enter a
location number and press left F (OK) to send the
contents of that memory location as Touch Tones.
Touch Tone Settings in the Phone
Your phone’s Touch Tone settings are Menu 4 3, Manual
DTMF Tones, and Menu 4 4, Auto DTMF Length.

Tones Õ▼ to your choice
Õleft F (OK)
This determines the length of the Individual Touch Tones
when you press keys during calls. Note that regardless
of this setting, strings of Touch Tones can be sent.
Continuous means the tone sounds for as long as you
hold the key. Fixed sets the tone length to 100 ms,
regardless of how long you press the key. Off turns the
tones off, meaning that no tones are sent when you
press individual keys.
Menu 4 4, Auto DTMF ÕLeft F (Menu) 4 4
Length Õ▼ to your choice

system (depending on your operator) but your phone
can work with both types of systems. With Menu 7, you
can select the type of system the phone should use.
If you have registered with several operators, use Menu
8, NAM Select, to select the current home system. The
currently-selected NAM determines which system is
currently your “home” system.
Both A&B means that when roaming, the phone first tries
to use a home-type system (such as “B” if the home
system is B). If this is not available, it then tries to use a
non-home type system (such as “A” if the home system
is B).
Hometype A or Hometype B means the phone tries to use
only a home-type system.
Non-Home A or Non-Home B means the phone tries to use
only a non-home-type system.
Home Area means the phone cannot roam at all.
Note: To use this option, your home system operator
must have a roaming agreement with the host
company whose system you try to use. Contact your
home system operator for the roaming agreements
they have with other operators.
Depending on the selection either the A or B indicator
(or both) will appear. Neither indicator appears if Home
Area is selected.

Roaming Indicators
When the phone begins roaming, it beeps, displays
ROAMING, and lights the roaming indicator ( ). For a
description of the two states of the roaming indicator,
see “The Display and Connectors” chapter. Some
cellular systems can recognize a roaming phone
automatically. In other systems, you must contact the
cellular operator before the system can recognize the
phone. You will need to give your phone number, your
phone’s ESN (electronic serial number), and how you
plan to pay for your calls. There is usually an additional
charge for roaming calls.
Note: The ESN for your cellular phone is printed under
the battery pack on the back of the phone.
Menu 8, NAM ÕLeft F (Menu) 8
Selection Õ▼ to phone number
to use
Õleft F (Select)
The cellular operator programs your phone with
software called a Number Assignment Module (NAM)
when you register for service. You can register your
phone with up to 3 cellular systems, each giving your
phone a different NAM, which contains unique data for
you such as your phone number, home service area,
and A-key.
Only one NAM is in effect at a time. When you select a
phone number, you are also selecting which system
you are using as your home system. The first phone
number displayed with this menu is the phone number
in use.
Note: You need at least one active number to make
calls. You cannot change from one NAM to another
during a call.

When the phone starts to alert, you can press E to
mute the ringing tone. The phone continues to alert
silently by flashing the lights and the text CALL on the
display.
When Beep once, Vibrate or Silent has been chosen, the
phone displays SILENT. Call related tones like message
received or voice mail indication beeps become shorter
with one of the above options selected.
When Silent has been chosen, Automatic Answer
(Menu 3 6) does not work.
If Vibrate is selected and no vibrating battery is attached,
the phone automatically goes into Silent mode for
incoming calls. If the phone is set to Vibrate and then
placed in a Handsfree stand, the phone rings only.
When the phone is connected to a HF desktop charger,
HF car kit, or headset, the indication mode can be set
separately for each of these accessories.

 11. Data and Fax Calls
The phone can send or receive data when it is
connected to a compatible data terminal (such as a fax
machine or PC) through a data adapter. See the
documentation for the data adapter and terminal.
Only analog data can be sent and received.
The phone recognizes the type of the connected
terminal automatically. For instance, if a fax machine is
connected to the phone, the phone makes a fax call.
Note: Pressing and holding 9 to initiate an emergency
call does not work when the phone is connected to a
modem.
To start an outgoing data or fax call
Ê Check that the data terminal is properly installed.
A data or fax transmission is always started from
the data terminal.
Ë Start the transmission from the data terminal in the
normal way. For example, to send a telefax, start
the transmission from the fax machines keypad.

terminal’s keypad.
Ì After the transmission, end the call from the data
terminal, or press E .
To receive a data call

the phone display).
Light Desk Stand (CHH-2L)
The Light Desk Stand (CHH-2L)
offers support for the phone
during charging. Used together
with the Standard Travel Charger
(ACH-3U), Fast Travel Charger
(ACH-4U,) or the Fast Cigarette
Lighter Charger (LCH-2), this
drop-in stand is an economical
choice when you need your
phone close at hand, always ready for calls.

 13. Care and Maintenance
Your phone is a product of superior design and
craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The
suggestions below will help you to fulfill the warranty
obligations and to enjoy this product for many years.
Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of
small childrens’ reach.
Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids
contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.
Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas. Its
moving parts can be damaged.
Do not store the phone in hot areas. High temperatures
can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the phone
warms up (to its normal temperature), moisture can
form inside the phone, which may damage electronic
circuit boards.
Do not attempt to open the phone. Non-expert
handling of the phone may damage it.
Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough
handling can break internal circuit boards.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean the phone. Wipe it with a
soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water
solution.
If the phone or any of its accessories are not working
properly, take them to your nearest qualified service
facility. The personnel there will assist you, and if
necessary, arrange for service.
