Congratulations...
…and thank you for choosing the CF888, a mobile phone
specially suited for the demanding user of communication
tools. Retaining the slim, streamlined size that has become
associated with the Ericsson family of phones, the CF888
sets a new standard for others to follow.
Apart from its unique toughness and extraordinary sound
quality, the CF888 comes packed with features that will help
you stay ahead. Some highlights include:
•With the built-in GSM modem, you can forget all about
PC Cards. It’s already inside your phone, guaranteeing
you instant access to your PC, laptop or handheld com-
municator -- wireless if you prefer that, thanks to the in-
frared capabilities.
•Dual band, dual-mode operation extends the potential
for efficient network usage, especially so if you frequently
use your phone in urban areas. The dual-band antenna
ensures optimal reception in both frequency bands.
Like the other phones from Ericsson, the CF888 is produced
to meet the highest quality standards.
This guide introduces you to your CF888 and shows you how
to get the most out of it. Before you start, please read the
“Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use” in the back of the
manual.

Valuable Information
Operators & Subscription
To be able to use your phone, you need to have a subscrip-
tion to a network. This is obtained from the network opera-
tor. The services included in your subscription depend on
your choice of operator and/or subscription. Therefore,
some of the services and functions described in this manual
may not be accessible to you. If you want a complete list of
the services included in your subscription, please contact
your network operator.
Dual Band/Dual Mode –
GSM 1900 & Analog 800
The Ericsson CF888 is a dual band/dual mode phone, so
you can operate your phone in two different kinds of net-
works – the GSM 1900 (PCS) and the AMPS 800 systems.
The digital GSM system operates at 1900 MHz, while the
analog system, AMPS, operates at 800 MHz.
A dual band/dual mode phone, such as your CF888, com-
bines the two standards and can use both frequencies. You
have the power of the GSM 1900 in your home network
while being able to roam in the widespread analog coverage.
GSM 1900 is sometimes called GSM or PCS.
Analog information/instructions will appear in blue.
SIM & PIN
Together with your subscription you will obtain a 3-volt SIM
(Subscriber Identity Module) card. TheSIMmustbeadual
mode SIM card to operate as a dual mode phone. A sin-
gle mode SIM will only access GSM 1900 networks.
The SIM card contains a computer chip that keeps track of
your phone number, the services you have ordered from your
network operator and your Phone Book information, among
others.
Your SIM card is supplied with a security code or Personal
Identity Number (PIN), which you need in order to gain ac-
cess to the network. Your PIN may also be required when
you want to change settings in your phone. Furthermore,
some operators may have services that require a second PIN,
the PIN2. You will find your PIN (and PIN2) in the informa-
tion from your operator.
When you turn on your phone you may be prompted to enter
your PIN if the PIN is activated. If the PIN is entered incor-
rectly three times in succession, the SIM card will be blocked.
If this happens you can unlock it by using your Personal Un-
blocking Key (PUK) code, which is also obtained from your
operator. See chapter “Security”.
You should be careful with your PIN, since it is your protec-
tion against unauthorized use of your phone and subscrip-
tion.

Preparing Your Phone for Use
The SIM Card
When you register as a subscriber with a network operator,
you obtain a SIM card.
SIM cards come in two sizes. One is the size of a credit card,
and the other is considerably smaller (about the size of a regu-
lar stamp). The CF888 uses the smaller card. Many operators
deliver credit card size SIM cards where the small size card is
punched out to be easily removed.
Before you can use your phone, you must insert the SIM card into
the phone.
To Insert the SIM Card
To insert the SIM card, remove the battery (if attached) and follow
these steps:
Release the SIM card holder by sliding it toward the antenna.
Fold out the holder.
Slide the SIM card into the holder. Make
certain that the angled corner is top right
Fold down the holder.
Lock the holder by pressing it down
and sliding it toward the bottom of the
phone.

The Battery
Your mobile phone comes with a nickel metal hydride
(NiMH) battery. The battery is not charged when purchased,
but there may be enough power to turn on the phone.
Attaching the Battery to the Phone:
Place the battery on the back of the phone.
Press the battery upwards and
against the phone until you hear
a click.
Removing the Battery
Make sure that the phone is turned off before removing the
battery. Then:
Press the locking catch on
the bottom of the battery.
Lift the battery up and away from the phone.
Charging the Battery
Make sure that the battery is attached to the phone. Then:
Connect the charger to the outlets. You will receive one
of the chargers pictured below.
A green indicator on the charger lights up. If not, make
sure you have inserted the plug to the charger correctly
(you may have to press hard).
If applicable, connect the clear plastic plug on the
charger cable to the charger. It is correctly inserted
when you hear a click.
5
Some features/menus are operator dependent
Connect the other end of the cable to the phone ac-
cording to the picture. The flash symbol on the plug
must face upwards. Note that you may have to press
hard.
The phone will automatically start charging the battery as you
attach the charger. To indicate the charging:
•the battery meter in the display is continuously filled and
emptied.
•the indicator on top of the phone shows a steady red light
(green if the phone is turned on).
When the battery is fully charged, the battery meter in the dis-
play will show full and the indicator on top of the phone will
show a steady green light.
Note! It is possible to use the phone while the battery is being
charged. This will, however, increase the charging time.
Disconnecting the Charger
lLift the plug connected to
the phone upwards and
pull it out.
When to Charge the Battery
The nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery that comes with
your phone can be charged whenever you wish without los-
ing performance. This is not the case with the nickel cadmium
type batteries, often sold as accessories from other suppliers.
For optimal talk and standby time in the long run, we recom-
mend that you only use Ericsson original batteries with your
CF888.
As a reminder that the battery needs to be charged or re-
placed with a charged one...
•an alarm signal (a long beep) sounds and the message
Battery low appears for ten seconds in the display.
•the indicator light on top of the phone starts blinking red.
Note! If the phone is left turned on, the low battery alarm will be re-
peated several times and, finally, the phone will turn itself off
when the battery is no longer able to power it satisfactorily. It
might be possible to turn the phone on again, but you will not
be able to make or receive any calls. Instead the battery must
be charged or replaced with a charged one.

The Phone Book
The Phone Book is a function in your CF888 that conven-
iently lets you store and recall phone numbers. This means
that you can let the phone remember your important num-
bers, instead of you keeping everything in your head or
carrying your address book with you.
The Phone Book also keeps track of your last dialed numbers
and, if you subscribe to the Calling Line Identification serv-
ice, the last answered numbers. This feature is convenient if
you have to redial someone.
When you receive a call and the caller’s number is in the
Phone Book, you will see the name in the display.
Tip Together with your CF888 you received the Ericsson Mobile
Office Suite software. When installed on your computer, the
Mobile Office Suite lets you manage your Phone Book from
your computer in a simple and straightforward way.
You will find more information about the Mobile Office
Suite in the chapter “Communicating via the Modem”.
Before You Start
Before you start creating your personal Phone Book, there
are a few things you need to know. In this section, you will
learn about the two different storages and how to store the
numbers with the international prefix.
We also recommend that you read the section about entering
characters at this stage, even though you might need to go
back to the section when you follow the instructions later on.
Phone Book Memories
There are two different memories where you can store the
phone numbers:
•The memory on the SIM card.
•The phone memory.
Storing your numbers in the card memory allows you to recall
the numbers stored on the SIM card even when you change
phones, i.e. when you insert your SIM card into another
phone.
On the other hand, by storing your numbers in the phone mem-
ory, your numbers will always be available to you on your
phone, even if you change SIM cards.
The memory positions in the card memory are numbered
from 1 onwards. The actual number of memory positions
available depends on your SIM card.
The phone memory can hold up to 99 phone numbers. The
memory positions are designated ¤1–¤99.
Note! In the Phone book menu, press #to enter the ¤charac-
ter. Outside the Phone book menu, you must press and
hold down #to enter the ¤character.

In the phone book you can accompany any number you store
with a name. To enter the characters in the name, follow the
instructions below.
lPress the appropriate key, 1–9, 0 or #, repeatedly until
the desired character appears in the display.

you have to enter the number of an already occupied po-
sition, thus erasing the old number.
Storing a Number With a Tone Signal Code
In order to, for example, perform banking by phone or con-
trol a phone answering machine, you will need to use codes.
These codes are sent as tone signals (also called DTMF
tones).
Note! Anything entered after a pause is sent as DTMF tones from
the Phone Book.

Sending and Receiving Text Messages
A very convenient feature of your Ericsson CF888 is the
Short Message Service (SMS). This allows you to send and re-
ceive text messages consisting of up to 160 characters.
Using the SMS, you do not have to worry about whether the
person you want to reach checks their answering machines.
The message will be delivered to their phone.
Text messages can be received when the phone is in standby
mode, when the recipient is engaged in a call or when incom-
ing calls are forwarded to another phone number. If the re-
cipient’s phone is turned off when a message is sent, a notify-
ing message will be displayed shortly after the phone is
turned on.
Apart from sending standard messages to phones, your Er-
icsson CF888 is also prepared for sending fax messages
(group 3 and 4), e-mails and telexes, via SMS. This service is
operator dependent.
Tip! Together with your CF888 you received the Mobile Office
Suite software. The Mobile Office Suite makes it possible for
you to write and read SMS messages on your computer. For
more information on how this is done, please see the chapter
“Communicating via the Modem”.
Note! The SMS Mobile Originate may need to be activated.
You cannot send SMS while in Analog mode.
Two Memories
The Messages Memory
If you do not want to read an incoming message at once, it is
automatically stored in the Messages memory in the phone,
which allows you to read it later on.
If there are any unread incoming messages in the messages
memory, a letter icon (Mm) is shown to the left at the bottom
of the display.
The Messages memory can hold up to 10 messages. When all
memory positions are occupied, the oldest read message will
be overwritten when a new message is received.
If the Messages memory becomes full with unread messages,
new messages will automatically be stored in the SIM card
memory. If the SIM card memory becomes full, the letter
icon (Mm) starts blinking.
Messages will remain in the Messages memory until you erase
them (see “How to Erase a Message”), until you insert a dif-
ferent SIM card, or until the telephone needs the memory
space for storing new messages
The SIM Card Memory
If you receive an important message and want to make sure it
is not erased from the messages memory, you can store it in
memory on your SIM card. This means that you can retrieve
the message regardless of which phone you use. Messages

Communicating via the Modem
A very convenient feature of the CF888 is the built-in mo-
dem ( a PC card modem). With this, you can connect a com-
puter to your phone in order to send and receive fax and e-
mail messages, browse the Internet and much more.
With the CF888 you can choose if you want to connect to
your computer via infrared link (IR) or via cable.
To be able to use various communication services you also
need appropriate software, for example a fax application, an
e-mail application or an Internet browser.
Your CF888 comes with either a CD or a set of diskettes (or
both, depending on what country you bought your phone in),
containing a modem script and the Ericsson Mobile Office Suite
software, among other things.
The Mobile Office Suite is a phone book manager and a mes-
sage manager. See chapter “The Mobile Office Suite” for
more information.
You will also find the Microsoft IrDA driver, the Microsoft
Windows CE driver and modem script.
Before you Start
Before you can start using communication applications there
are a few things that need to be taken care of:
•First, you need to make sure your computer is configured
for infrared communication. Most computers are already
configured, but if this is not the case, please see your
computer’s user manual for more detailed information.
•Secondly, you need to install the Microsoft IrDA driver
and the Ericsson CF888 modem script on your com-
puter. These are found on the CD and/or the diskettes
that came with your phone. Detailed instructions are
found in the section ‘Installing the Infrared Modem’ be-
low.
•For you to be able to use the above mentioned services
most phone network operators require that you have
separate fax and data subscriptions. This way you never
need to worry about whether an incoming call is a fax,
data or normal speech call. If you do not already have
separate fax and data subscriptions, please contact your
operator.
Note! Do not expose your built-in modem to electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD). The communication link may be lost and
could lead to unintentional loss of data. Should you lose con-
nection, you may need to restart your computer and/or your
mobile phone.
The Data Menus
Analog mode does not support the data menus.
Some of the communication features described in this
chapter require that you have the Data menus in your phone
turned on. To turn them on:
28
Some features/menus are operator dependent
In the Settings menu, scroll to Data menus.
The current status (on or off) is now shown on the bot-
tom row of the display.
Press YES to change the status if needed (that is from
off to on or vice versa). Then press YES again to con-
firm the setting.
Installing the Infrared Modem
Before you start
Make sure that the phone’s IR port is activated.
To activate the IR port:
In the menu system, scroll to Activate IR port
and press YES. (If the IR port is already activated, the
display will read Deactivate IR port instead.
In this case, just press CLR to return to the standby
menu.)
For a few seconds the text IR port activated
appears in the display. The phone then returns to
standby mode.
Place your phone less than one foot from your com-
puter (or your H/PC) and make sure that the infrared
ports are aligned (within 30°).
The examples in this manual may differ from your PC. If you

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
General
Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the mobile phone is
one of the most exciting and innovative products ever devel-
oped. Your phone can help you to stay in touch with your of-
fice, your home, emergency services and others.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When
the phone is turned on it receives and transmits radio fre-
quency (RF) energy. Depending on the type of mobile phone
you have purchased, it operates in different frequency ranges
and employs commonly used modulation techniques. The
system that handles your call when you are using your phone,
controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power ra-
dio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
also sends our radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent
with the safety standards previously set by both US and inter-
national standards bodies:
•ANSI C95.1 (1992)*
•NCRP Report 86 (1986)*
•ICNIRP (1996)*
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example,
over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universi-
ties, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the
available body of research to develop the ANSI Standards
(C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines
(and those standards).
* American National Standards Institute: National Council on Ra-
diation Protection and Measurements; International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
Efficient Phone Operation
How to use your phone for optimum performance with
minimum power consumption:
•Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. While
speaking directly into the mouthpiece, angle the antenna
in a direction up and over your shoulder.
•Donot hold the antenna when the phone is in use. Hold-
ing the antenna affects call quality, may cause the phone
to operate at a higher power level than needed and
shorten talk and standby times.

Tips for Efficient Operation
Driving
Electronic Devices
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are ade-
quately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regu-
lations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals
or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to external therefore energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment
that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so
require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.
Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your phone since they
could hurt themselves or others or accidentally damage the
phone.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operation, turn your phone
OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off
two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially ex-
plosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting
in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but
not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such
as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petro-
leum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal
powders; and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects,
including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in
the area over the airbag or in the air bag deployment area. If
67
Some features/menus are operator dependent
in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the
air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Product Care
•Do not expose your mobile phone to moisture or ex-
treme temperatures.
•Do not use any other accessories but Ericsson originals.
Failure to do so may result in loss of performance, fire,
electric shock or injury, and will void the warranty.
•Do not attempt to disassemble the product. Doing so
will void warranty. This product does not contain con-
sumer serviceable components. Service should only be
performed by Authorized Service Centers.
