that you are in an area of sufficient wireless
coverage. For more information on wireless
coverage levels, refer to the printed
documentation that accompanied your handheld.
If you still cannot make calls, verify that fixed
dialing number mode is not enabled. To disable
FDN mode, in the phone options, click FDN Phone
List. Click the trackwheel. Click Disable FDN mode.

Can I use the phone when the

If you receive a call when the keyboard is locked,
the keyboard unlocks when you answer the call.
If you receive a call when the handheld is
password-locked, you can answer the call, but your
handheld remains password-locked during the
call. You can perform regular phone actions, such
as mute and hold. When you end the call, the
handheld remains password-locked.
