CT-353 Handheld Cellular Phone (170-1063) Additional Features Faxback Doc.# 17586 SELECTING THE PHONE NUMBER If you subscribe to two cellular services (for example, on competitive cellular systems in your area or on cellular systems in different cities) your dealer programs your phone with two different telephone numbers. Each number is stored in a NAM (Number Assignment Module). The NAM SELECT function lets you select which phone number to use (if two have been programmed). 1. Press MENU 7. 2. The phone displays the number currently in use. Press the ^ key or the v key to select the other number. 3. Press STO to confirm. SETTING THE CELLULAR SYSTEM TYPE Using the phone in a city where you do not subscribe to a cellular service is referred to as roaming. Each cellular market area has two cellular service providers. One of the providers is designated Provider A and the other Provider B. When your phone is activated for service, find out from your dealer whether your cellular provider is type A or B. Usually it is less expensive to use the same company for cellular service when you are in your home city and when you roam. To do this you need to know whether your cellular service provider is type A or B in your home city and in each city you plan to travel to. It is possible for the company you purchase your cellular service from to be (or have agreements with) Provider A in some cities and Provider B in other cities. The SYSTEM SELECT function lets you select one of four possible roaming modes: HOME TYPE A* OR HOME TYPE B** Use this setting if you are roaming and your home city cellular service provider is the same provider type in the city you have traveled to (for example, if the company is Provider A in both cities). NON HOME TYPE B* OR NON HOME TYPE A** Use this setting if you are roaming and your home city cellular service provider is the opposite provider in the city you have traveled to (for example, if the company is Provider A in your home city and Provider B in the other city). HOME AREA Use this setting if you do not want to roam (you can only use the phone within the area covered by your home cellular service provider). BOTH SYSTEMS With this setting the phone will use either Provider A or B in the city you have traveled to, whichever has the stronger signal. * When System A NAM is selected. ** When System B NAM is selected. NOTE: The home system depends on the type of the currently selected NAM. The phone displays the selected type (A, B, AB or neither) in the upper left corner of the display. To select the roaming mode, set the cellular system type as follows: 1. Press MENU 1. 2. The phone displays the system select mode currently in use. Press the ^ key or the v key to scroll to the desired option. 3. Press STO to confirm ROAMING In some areas, the cellular system's computer automatically recognizes roaming telephones. In other areas, you must contact the cellular company before it can recognize your phone. The company needs to know your telephone number, your phone's ESN (Electronic Serial Number), and how you intend to pay for your calls. There is usually an additional charge for roaming calls. (The ESN is the same as the serial number.) When you roam, ROAM flashed if you are using a cellular system that is different from your home system (A or B). ROAM lights steadily if you roam and are using a system that is the same as your home system (see "Setting the Cellular System Type"). CALL TIMERS The call timer function tracks the duration of your current/last call, the duration of all calls (for the currently selected NAM), or resets the timers (for both NAMs): 1. Press MENU 3. 2. The phone displays the duration of the last/current call (LAST hrs: mins:secs). Press the ^ key once to display the duration of all calls since the last call timer's reset. (TOTAL hrs:mins:secs). Press the ^ key again and RESET TIMERS appears. 3. To reset both call timers, press STO. The phone displays LOCKCODE? to prompt you to enter your four-digit lock code. To leave the timers unchanged, press CLR. 4. Enter the four-digit lock code and press STO to confirm. If you enter the lock code incorrectly, the phone displays CODE ERROR and you must repeat from Step 1. 5. After you enter the correct code, the phone displays TIMERS CLEARED. RINGING VOLUME You can select one of three ringing volume levels for the phone. With RINGING LOW selected, the ringing tone is quiet. With RINGING HIGH selected, the ringing tone is loud. If you select SILENT SERVICE, the phone does not sound a ringing tone when the phone receives an incoming call. It sounds a short beep and flashes the lights. 1. Press MENU 6. 2. Press the ^ key or the v key to scroll to the desired ringing volume option. 3. Press STO to confirm the setting. NOTE: If you select SILENT SERVICE, the phone displays SILENT (when you are entering digits) as a reminder, and all tones (including keypress tones) except warning tones are turned off. BACKLIGHT CONTROL You can select the operation of the display/keypad lighting. With LIGHTS ON, the lights turn on when you press a key and remain on for 15 seconds after the last keypress. With LIGHTS OFF, the lights are always off to conserve battery power. To set the backlight control: 1. Press MENU 4. 2. Press the ^ key or the v key to display the desired backlight control option. 3. Press STO to confirm the setting. KEYPAD TONES You can turn the keypad tones on or off. When set to TONES ON, the phone sounds a tone with each keypress; with TONES OFF, the phone does not sound tones. 1. Press MENU 5. 2. Press the ^ key or the v key to display the desired keypad tone option. 3. Press STO to confirm the setting. USING TOUCH TONE SERVICES To access computer services, such as bank-by-phone or voicemail, you can either dial directly or use memory dialing (see "Memory Dialing"). When you dial a number while a call is already in progress, the phone produces a touch tone for each keypress. Manual Tone Dialing: 1. Call the computer service's telephone number in the usual way. 2. When the service answers, enter any additional numbers required. Each number is sent immediately as a touch tone. The tone sounds for as long as you press the key. Automatic Tone Dialing: 1. Call the computer service's telephone number in the usual way. 2. When the call is answered, use the RCL key to recall a previously stored number (see "Memory Dialing"). For example, to recall a number from memory location 23, press RCL 2 3. The phone displays the stored number. 3. Press MENU 8. The displayed number is sent as touch tones. (CS/all-10/24/95)
