4.1 Making and receiving calls
Once the power supply is connected, the transceiver will be switched on and the dial tone can
be heard from the telephone. Note that upon first being connected and after a power break, it
takes a while before the terminal is connected to the network. If you have any problems, turn to
the troubleshooting section (chapter 9).
Dialing and answering the telephone is similar to using a normal telephone. Only the delay in
call processing is longer than with a normal telephone due to the internal process of the termi-
nal. Also when making a call, an area code must be dialed both for local calls and long distance
calls. Some network systems support local area dialing, i.e calls can be made without an area
code. To find out if local area dialing is supported, consult with your network service provider or
local dealer.
Note: As with any other radio transmitting device, avoid unnecessary contact with the antenna.
4.2 Voice mail and Short Message Service (SMS)
Received voice mail is indicated by a broken dial tone (“_ _ _ _”) from the telephone handset
speaker. Also the second light indicator from the left is on (see figure) When you pick up the
telephone handset the light will go off whether the voice mail is listened to or not.

Usually, the received voice mail can be listened to by calling to your own voice mail box. Ask your
network service provider for your own personal voice mail box number.
Received short messages are indicated in the same way as received voice mail (the broken dial
tone and the second light indicator from the left). The messages can be read using a suitable
computer. In addition, you need the Nokia PremiCell Data Suite package or Nokia PremiCell
RS232 Data package to send and read short messages. These accessories are described in section
8.3.
