ALL THE BASICS
Now you’re ready to begin using your Omnipoint handset.
The following pages will explain all the basic handset functions,
including how to send and receive calls, and how to navigate
through handset menus.
These are the topics we’ll cover:
Your handset features and functions.
How to use your handset keypad.
The information displayed on your handset screen.
How to make and receive calls.
Getting information about the calls you make.
Your handset clock and calculator functions.
How to charge your handset battery.
Removing and replacing your battery.
Your SIM Card.
Your Ericsson User’s Manual.
This Omnipoint User Guide covers basic information on operating
your Ericsson handset – and a lot more you can do to customize the
operation of your handset, including special memory and menu
functions.
But you’ll need to know equally important safety information before
using your handset.
For complete reference to all handset safety information and oper-
ating features, see the Ericsson User’s Manual that comes in this kit.

A Suggestion For Your First Call.
After you’ve activated your Omnipoint account, one of the first calls
you make should be to personalize your Answering Machine. All
calls from your Omnipoint handset to your Answering Machine will
be charged at the Off-Peak rate. Here’s how to set up your
Answering Machine:
Dial A123, then press F to place your call.
Listen and follow each recorded instruction to create your
password and to record your name and your personal
greeting.
Press G when finished. Now your Answering Machine is
ready to answer your calls when you can’t answer, you’re
busy with another call, or your phone is powered off or out
of the Omnipoint coverage area.. (See p. 27 for more
information.) You can also use the Caller ID option to
screen your calls and press G to send any calls you don’t
want to answer direct to your Voice Mailbox.
