To Read a Message
1. Press SOFT LEFT, 3 to enter Messages menu.
2. Press 1 or YES to read messages. The display will show a
chronological list of all stored messages, for example:
The * indicates any unread messages. Use the SOFT keys to select the
message you wish to read and press YES. The beginning of the message
is displayed:
The first line of the message indicates the number of the current message
and the total number of messages stored. The second line of the message
indicates the time and date at which the message was received by the
service centre. Each message is displayed in groups of four lines or
“pages”.
Use the SOFT keys to scroll though the message line by line.
NOTE:
When you reach the end of the message, you can display the sender’s
telephone number by pressing SOFT LEFT. Pressing SOFT LEFT one
more time will display the service centre’s telephone number. If you have
these numbers stored in memory, the associated “name” will also be
displayed. A further press of SOFT LEFT will display the message type,
for example ‘Repeated Message’.
If you wish to read the next or previous message, press #> or <*. The
display will jump to the top of the relevant message. To exit the message
and return to the stand-by display, press and hold NO.
Saving and Dialling a Number Received in a Message
1. Scroll through the message until the telephone number is displayed.
2. Press and hold MEM to store the number. If more than one number is
shown on the display, your phone will recognise the first one
contained completely within the current 4 line display. You can save
this number in memory in the normal way or you can dial it directly
from within the message.
3. Store the number in memory, the telephone number is automatically
entered into the Number? field of the memory store, all you have to
do is assign a “name” and memory store number to it. When you
complete the store operation your phone will return you to the
message you were viewing.
4. To call the number, press YES. When you end the call, your phone
will return to the stand-by display.
Deleting a Message
As the memory space allocated to storing messages is limited, you will
have to periodically delete old messages. You can delete messages while
you are viewing the received messages directory and also while you are
within a message.
