Data Mode
Data Mode can be used when your phone is connected,
via a suitable data card and modem, to a laptop or personal
computer. You may then use your computer to make and
receive calls, and to send and receive data messages
such as emails.
Follow these steps before using Data Mode:
• Ensure your phone is switched on, and that the
battery has enough charge for the duration of your
data calls.
• Ensure that you are receiving a strong signal
(see signal strength indicator on the display).
• Ensure that your computer is switched on, and is
fitted with a data card.
• Connect the data cable to the data card, and to your
phone.
To select Data Mode

displays). When in a call, with the data cable
connected, the phone displays

.
In a data call, the keys on the phone don’t work except for
END; when not in a call, all keys work. Also, the micro-
phone and earpiece don’t work in a data call.
Important! When you are in Data Mode, do not switch off
the phone. Do not move the phone, or use it in a moving
vehicle (data will be lost if you move from one cell to
another).
