2Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Notforcommercialuse-EricssonInc.
Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the mobile phone has been 
one of the most exciting and innovative products ever developed. 
Your phone can help you to stay in touch with your office, your 
home, emergency services and others.
Safety
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio 
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends 
out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (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 international 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 universities, government 
health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research 
to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines 
(and those standards).
* American National Standards Institute: National Council on 
Radiation Protection and Measurements; International Commission on 
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. 
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could 
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other 
telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to operate 
most efficiently:
•Extend your antenna fully (where applicable).
•Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in 
use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause 
the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise 
needed.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 3
Notforcommercialuse-EricssonInc.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in 
the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your 
phone while driving, please:
•Give full attention to driving – driving safely is your first 
responsibility.
•Use handsfree operation, if available.
•Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if 
driving conditions so require.
In addition, Ericsson suggests the following safe driving tips if you 
are using your phone while driving:
•Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed 
dial and redial.
•Position your wireless phone within easy 
reach.
•Suspend conversations during hazardous 
driving conditions or situations.
•Do not take notes or look up phone 
numbers while driving.
•Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if 
possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling 
into traffic.
•Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may 
be distracting.
•Use your wireless phone to call for help.
•Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies.
•Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency 
assistance number when necessary.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. 
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against 
RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a 
minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a 
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential 
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are 
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations 
of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
•Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from 
their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
•Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
•Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the 
potential for interference.
•If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking 
place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. 
In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your 
service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss 
alternatives).

4Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Notforcommercialuse-EricssonInc.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the 
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately 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 regulations 
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care 
facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external 
RF 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.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, 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 explosive 
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 atmosphere 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 petroleum 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 air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless 
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious 
bodily injury could result.
Product Care and Operation
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is 
subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not 
cause harmful interference, and 2) This device must accept any 
interference received, including interference that may cause 
undesired operation.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 5
Notforcommercialuse-EricssonInc.
Ericsson suggests you read and observe the following for safe care 
and operation of your phone:
•Do not allow children to play with your phone. They could 
hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the 
phone. Your phone may contain small parts that could be 
detached and create a choking hazard.
•Do not expose your mobile phone to moisture or extreme 
temperatures.
•Only Ericsson original accessories are recommended. Failure to 
use them may result in loss of performance or product damage, 
and will void the warranty.
•Do not attempt to disassemble the product. Doing so will void 
warranty. This product does not contain consumer serviceable 
components. Service should only be performed by Authorized 
Service Centers.
•Do not allow objects to fall on, or liquids to spill on products.
•Connect AC (power supply) only to designated power sources as 
marked on the product.
•To reduce risk of damage, remove the electrical cord from the 
outlet by pulling the AC adapter at the outlet rather than the 
cord.
•Make sure the electric cord is located so that it will not be 
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or 
stress.
•To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit from the power 
source before attempting any cleaning. Once unplugged, use a 
soft cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning.
•DANGER – Never alter the AC cord or plug. If the plug will 
not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by 
a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in risk of 
electric shock.
•Don’t twist the antenna. Excess twisting will damage the 
antenna.
Battery Information
New Batteries
The battery packaged with your phone is not fully charged. For 
maximum battery capacity, use your charger to condition the battery. 
Recycling Your Battery
Your phone manufacturer is a member of the Rechargeable Battery 
Recycling Corporation (RBRC), a non-profit service organization 
designed to assist in the recycling of rechargeable batteries. Many 
areas require the recycling of rechargeable batteries. In the U.S., call 
1-800-822-8837 to find out how to recycle your battery. Outside the 
U.S., contact your local retailer for recycling instructions.
Battery Use and Care
A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated properly. 
A new battery, or one that has not been used for a long period of 
time, should be conditioned before using your phone. Avoid 
recharging a fully-charged or almost fully-charged battery. If your 
phone shuts off due to low battery power, you should charge the 
battery within 24 hours for the battery to reach full capacity.

6Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Notforcommercialuse-EricssonInc.
•Do not leave your battery where it may be subjected to 
extremely hot or cold temperatures. This could reduce the 
battery’s capacity.
•Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch another 
metal object such as keys in your pocket. This could short-
circuit and damage the battery.
•Do not attempt to take a battery apart.
•Do not expose a battery to open flame. This could cause the 
battery to explode.
•Turn your phone OFF before removing the battery.
•Use only the AC/DC adapter supplied with your battery 
charger. Using a different adapter could be dangerous and will 
void your phone warranty.
•Never charge a battery when the ambient room temperature is 
below 50°F (10°C) or above 105°F (40°C).
•Do not allow the battery to be placed into the mouth. Battery 
electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.
FDA Consumer Update
The U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been receiving 
inquiries about the safety of mobile phones, including cellular 
phones and PCS phones.
The following summarizes what is known – and what remains 
unknown – about whether these products can pose a hazard to 
health, and what can be done to minimize any potential risk. This 
information may be used to respond to questions.
Why the concern?
Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy 
(i.e., radiofrequency radiation) in the microwave range while being 
used. They also emit very low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF), 
considered non-significant, when in the stand-by mode. It is well 
known that high levels of RF can produce biological damage 
through heating effects (this is how your microwave oven is able to 
cook food). However, it is not known whether, to what extent, or 
through what mechanism, lower levels of RF might cause adverse 
health effects as well. Although some research has been done to 
address these questions, no clear picture of the biological effects of 
this type of radiation has emerged to date. Thus, the available science 
does not allow us to conclude that mobile phones are absolutely safe, 
or that they are unsafe. However, the available scientific evidence 
does not demonstrate any adverse health effects associated with the 
use of mobile phones.
What kinds of phones are in question?
Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the 
kind that have a built-in antenna that is positioned close to the user’s 
head during normal telephone conversation. These types of mobile 
phones are of concern because of the short distance between the 
phone’s antenna – the primary source of the RF 
– and the person’s head. The exposure to RF from mobile phones in 
which the antenna is located at greater distances from the user 
(on the outside of a car, for example) is drastically lower than that 
from hand-held phones, because a person’s RF exposure decreases 
rapidly with distance from the source. The safety of so-called 
“cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the 
telephone wiring in a house and which operate at far lower power 
levels and frequencies, has not been questioned.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 7
Notforcommercialuse-EricssonInc.
How much evidence is there that hand-held mobile
phones might be harmful?
Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either way; 
however, research efforts are on-going. The existing scientific 
evidence is conflicting and many of the studies that have been done 
to date have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal 
experiments investigating the effects of RF exposures characteristic 
of mobile phones have yielded conflicting results. 
A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF 
could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. In 
one study, mice genetically altered to be predisposed to developing 
one type of cancer developed more than twice as many such cancers 
when they were exposed to RF energy compared to controls. There is 
much uncertainty among scientists about whether results obtained 
from animal studies apply to the use of mobile phones. First, it is 
uncertain how to apply the results obtained in rats and mice to 
humans. Second, many of the studies that showed increased tumor 
development used animals that had already been treated with cancer-
causing chemicals, and other studies exposed the animals to the RF 
virtually continuously 
– up to 22 hours per day.
For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone 
industry has supported research into the safety of mobile phones. 
This research has resulted in two findings in particular that merit 
additional study:
1  In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers looked for an 
association between mobile phone use and either glioma 
(a type of brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of 
the nerve sheath). No statistically significant association was found 
between mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma. There was also 
no association between mobile phone use and gliomas when all 
types of types of gliomas were considered together. 
It should be noted that the average length of mobile phone 
exposure in this study was less than three years.
When 20 types of glioma were considered separately, however, an 
association was found between mobile phone use and one rare 
type of glioma, neuroepithelliomatous tumors. It is possible with 
multiple comparisons of the same sample that this association 
occurred by chance. Moreover, the risk did not increase with how 
often the mobile phone was used, or the length of the calls. In fact, 
the risk actually decreased with cumulative hours of mobile phone 
use. Most cancer causing agents increase risk with increased 
exposure. An ongoing study of brain cancers by the National 
Cancer Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and 
repeatability of these results.1
2  Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to assess 
the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on genetic material. 
These included tests for several kinds of abnormalities, including 
mutations, chromosomal aberrations, DNA strand breaks, and 
structural changes in the genetic material of blood cells called 
lymphocytes. None of the tests showed any effect of the RF except 
for the micronucleus assay, which detects structural effects on the 
genetic material. The cells in this assay showed changes after 
exposure to simulated cell phone radiation, but only after 24 
hours of exposure. It is possible that exposing the test cells to 
radiation for this long resulted in heating. Since this assay is 
known to be sensitive to heating, heat alone could have caused the 
abnormalities to occur. The data already in the literature on the 
response of the micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting. Thus, 
follow-up research is necessary.2
8Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Notforcommercialuse-EricssonInc.
FDA is currently working with government, industry, and 
academic groups to ensure the proper follow-up to these industry-
funded research findings. Collaboration with the Cellular 
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) in particular is 
expected to lead to FDA providing research recommendations and 
scientific oversight of new CTIA-funded research based on such 
recommendations.
Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the 
literature:
1  Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone 
signals under laboratory conditions while they performed cognitive 
function tests. There were no changes in the subjects’ ability to 
recall words, numbers, or pictures, or in their spatial memory, but 
they were able to make choices more quickly in one visual test 
when they were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals. This 
was the only change noted among more than 20 variables 
compared.3
2  In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matched controls, 
there was no increased risk of brain tumors associated with mobile 
phone use. When tumors did exist in certain locations, however, 
they were more likely to be on the side of the head where the 
mobile phone was used. Because this occurred in only a small 
number of cases, the increased likelihood was too small to be 
statistically significant.4
In summary, we do not have enough information at this point to 
assure the public that there are, or are not, any low incident health 
problems associated with use of mobile phones. FDA continues to 
work with all parties, including other federal agencies and industry, 
to assure that research is undertaken to provide the necessary answers 
to the outstanding questions about the safety of mobile phones.
What is known about cases of human cancer that have
been reported in users of hand-held mobile phones?
Some people who have used mobile phones have been diagnosed 
with brain cancer. But it is important to understand that this type of 
cancer also occurs among people who have not used mobile phones. 
In fact, brain cancer occurs in the U.S. population at 
a rate of about 6 new cases per 100,000 people each year. At that 
rate, assuming 80 million users of mobile phones (a number 
increasing at a rate of about 1 million per month), about 4800 cases 
of brain cancer would be expected each year among those 
80 million people, whether or not they used their phones. Thus it is 
not possible to tell whether any individual’s cancer arose because of 
the phone, or whether it would have happened anyway. A key 
question is whether the risk of getting a particular form of cancer is 
greater among people who use mobile phones than among the rest of 
the population. One way to answer that question is to compare the 
usage of mobile phones among people with brain cancer with the use 
of mobile phones among appropriately matched people without brain 
cancer. This is called a case-control study.
The current case-control study of brain cancers by the National 
Cancer Institute, as well as the follow-up research to be sponsored by 
industry, will begin to generate this type of information.
What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of mobile
phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting 
consumer products such as mobile phones before marketing, as it 
does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has 
authority to take action if mobile phones are shown to emit radiation 
at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could 
require the manufacturers of mobile phones to notify users of the

health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the 
hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory 
actions at this time, FDA has urged the mobile phone industry to 
take a number of steps to assure public safety. The agency has 
recommended that the industry:
•support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of 
the type emitted by mobile phones;
•design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to 
the user that is not necessary for device function; and
•cooperate in providing mobile phone users with the best 
possible information on what is known about possible effects of 
mobile phone use on human health.
At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working group of 
the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of 
mobile phone safety to ensure a coordinated effort at the federal 
level. These agencies are:
•National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
•Environmental Protection Agency
•Federal Communications Commission
•Occupational Health and Safety Administration
•National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health also participates in this group.
In the absence of conclusive information about any
possible risk, what can concerned individuals do?
If there is a risk from these products – and at this point we do not 
know that there is – it is probably very small. But if people are 
concerned about avoiding even potential risks, there are simple steps 
they can take to do so. For example, time is a key factor in how 
much exposure a person receives. Those persons who spend long 
periods of time on their hand-held mobile phones could consider 
holding lengthy conversations on conventional phones and reserving 
the hand-held models for shorter conversations or for situations 
when other types of phones are not available.
People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars every 
day could switch to a type of mobile phone that places more distance 
between their bodies and the source of the RF, since the exposure 
level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, they could 
switch to:
•a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside the 
vehicle,
•a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to 
a different antenna mounted on the outside of the car or built 
into a separate package, or
•a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone carried at 
the waist.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile phones are 
harmful. But if people are concerned about the radiofrequency 
energy from these products, taking the simple precautions outlined 
above can reduce any possible risk.

Redialing the Last Phone Number You Called
Your telephone temporarily stores phone numbers you have 
previously called. To view these phone numbers, press YES from the 
Standby screen. The last phone number you called is shown in the 
display. Press ë or î to scroll through the other phone numbers. 
You can place a call to a phone number shown in the display by 
pressing YES. You can also view the last phone numbers you called 
through the Outgoing Log of the PHONE LISTS Menu.
You can delete a phone number from the Outgoing Log by pressing 
and holding CLR while the phone number is shown in the display.
Super Dial
The Super Dial feature, when enabled through the CALL 
MANAGER menu, lets you use one-touch dialing for phone 
numbers stored in phonebook positions 1 through 9. 
To use Super Dial, press and hold the numeric key (1 - 9) that 
corresponds to the phonebook position containing the phone 
number you want to call. For example, if you want to call the phone 
number stored in phonebook position 7, press and hold 7.
Speed Dial
The Speed Dial feature, when enabled through the CALL 
MANAGER menu, lets you quickly dial a phone number stored in 
your phonebook.
To use Speed Dial, enter the number of the phonebook position 
containing the phone number you want to call, then press YES. For 
example, if you want to call the phone number stored in phonebook 
position 12, press 1, press 2 and press YES. Positions 1-99 can be used 
to store Speed Dial phone numbers.
Stop and Pause Dialing
Stop and pause dialing lets you enter groups of numbers with stops 
and pauses between each group of numbers. This feature is useful 
when you need to dial a phone number and then another number, 
such as an access number for an answering machine or voice mail 
system.
Stop Dialing
A stop causes the phone to stop transmitting numbers until you 
press YES. You can enter a stop in a series of digits by pressing and 
holding # until   is shown in the display.
Pause Dialing
A pause temporarily suspends transmitting numbers for 
approximately two seconds before sending the next series. You can 
enter a pause in a series of digits by pressing and holding * until   is 
shown in the display. 
For example, if your office has a voice mail system that requires you 
to dial a phone number, followed by your extension, followed by an 
access code, you could enter the following: 555-
1111 2222 33333 where 555-1111 is the phone number to 
enter your voice mail system.   is a stop. 2222 is your extension. 
 is a pause. 33333 is your access code.
When you press YES, your phone dials the phone number and then 
stops transmitting tones. When your voice mail system asks for your 
extension you would press YES to transmit your extension. The 
access code is sent after the pause. If the timing in your voice mail 
system requires a pause longer than two seconds, you could enter a 
stop instead of the pause, or use multiple pauses.

Basic Operations 27
Notforcommercialuse-EricssonInc.
You can also store groups of numbers, which can include stops and 
pauses in a phonebook position. You can then dial the numbers by 
entering the phonebook position and pressing YES until the phone 
dials the phone number.
Emergency Calls
Your phone was programmed with an emergency number (911) 
when it was manufactured. The programmed emergency number 
can be dialed and called at any time, if there is an emergency system 
available, regardless of any call restrictions you have set through the 
CALL MANAGER menu.
Note! The Keypad Lock feature prohibits emergency number access 
(911) until unlocked.
A representative from your service provider or the retail outlet where 
you purchased your phone should be able to change the emergency 
number in your phone if a 911 system is not available in your service 
area.
If police, fire, or medical help is needed, dial 911 or your emergency 
number and press YES. Tell the dispatcher that you are calling from a 
mobile phone. Mobile 911 calls do not automatically provide 
emergency personnel with your name, location, or phone number. 
The dispatcher will want to know the following:
1  Your name and mobile phone number.
2  The nature of the emergency.
3  If police, fire, or medical assistance is needed.
4  The exact location of the emergency, including cross streets, mile-
posts, or landmarks.
5  How many people are involved, their condition, and if help is 
being administered.
International Calls
If allowed by your service provider, you can place international calls 
with your phone just as you would from any other phone. If you 
have difficulty completing international calls, check with your 
service provider for information.
Caller Number Identification
If your service provider has Caller Number Identification (Caller ID) 
service, your phone shows the phone number of an incoming call in 
the display. Also, if the phone number is one that you have stored in 
your phonebook with a name, the name is shown with the phone 
number when your phone rings. If the Caller ID information is not 
available, the message NO ID is shown in the display. The word 
Private may be shown if the Caller ID is restricted by the service 
provider.

Message Services 51
Notforcommercialuse-EricssonInc.
Text messages and voice mail are the two types of message services 
your Ericsson mobile phone can support. The message services are 
provided by your service provider and subject to availability.
Text Message Service
Your phone can store a maximum of 2KB of message text in its 
memory. The messages can be classified by the sender using one of 
the following message types: Normal, Urgent, and Emergency. A text 
message can also contain one or more callback numbers - phone 
numbers specified by the person leaving the message.
The message category assignment and the callback number 
capability are dependent on the system used by your service provider. 
After a sender leaves a message with your service provider, the service 
provider transmits the message to your phone. If your phone is On, 
it receives the message. If your phone is Off, your service provider 
retains the message and transmits it again later. 
When a message is received, your phone lets you skip, review, save, 
or delete a text message.
Emergency Text Messages
If your phone is turned On when it receives an emergency message, 
your phone sounds two brief tones, and a message appears in the 
display for a few seconds prompting you to read the emergency 
message.
Emergency messages are always shown before urgent and normal 
messages, regardless of the order in which the messages were 
received.
Urgent Text Messages
If your phone is turned On when it receives an urgent text message, 
your phone sounds a brief tone, and a message appears in the display. 
Normal Text Messages
If your phone is turned On when it receives a normal text message, 
your phone sounds a brief tone, and a message appears in the display.

56 Data, Fax, and Internet Calls
Notforcommercialuse-EricssonInc.
Your Ericsson mobile phone contains a modem similar to the 
modems you use to connect your computer to your home or office 
telephone service.  Rather than connecting to standard telephone 
lines, however, the modem in your mobile phone allows you to 
connect your computer to the mobile telephone system.  In places 
where mobile network operators provide the necessary support, you 
can use your mobile phone to send or receive faxes, upload or 
download data files, or access the Internet.  This chapter will assist 
you with setting up your computer and phone to handle data, fax, 
and Internet calls on the mobile network.
Note! If digital data/fax/Internet service is not available, you can pur-
chase an analog modem card that is compatible with your Ericsson 
mobile phone and use data/fax functions on the available analog 
system.
Differences Between Data, Fax, and
Internet Calls
Your Ericsson mobile phone can handle data, fax, and Internet calls, 
but each type of call requires corresponding software that must be 
running on your computer.
Data Calls
Data calls are placed to exchange computer files between two 
computers. While the data connection is in place, files can be 
transferred between the connected computers, according to the 
capabilities of the software in use.  When a data call is made, the 
connection will remain in place until it is closed by one of the 
computers involved.  To make or receive data calls with your 
Ericsson mobile phone, you must have a properly configured 
communications program running on your computer.
Fax Calls
Fax calls are placed to send fax messages. When a fax message has 
been sent, your fax software or the originating fax machine will 
terminate the call.  To make or receive fax calls with your Ericsson 
mobile phone, you must have a properly configured fax program 
running on your computer.
Internet Calls
Internet calls are placed to Internet Service Providers (ISP) when you 
want to use e-mail or access websites on the World Wide Web. To 
make Internet calls, you must have an account with an ISP and a 
properly configured Internet access program (browser) running on 
your computer. When your software is installed and set up to dial 
your ISP, calls can be made using the normal dialing procedure. 
Once a connection to your ISP is established, it will remain in place 
until you disconnect or until it is automatically disconnected due to 
the degradation of signal quality or due to inactivity.
Data, Fax, and Internet Calls

Data, Fax, and Internet Calls 57
Notforcommercialuse-EricssonInc.
Note! Throughout this chapter, references to data/fax/internet will be 
referred to as simply data.
Before You Start
Before setting up your phone for data operation, do the following:
•Make sure that you have the required hardware and software 
components.
Note! You must have an Ericsson DA 18 Phone Book Manager Acces-
sory Kit, which includes a serial interface cable, to connect your 
Ericsson mobile phone to your computer. The kit also includes a 
compact disc with the software required to install your phone as a 
modem on your computer.
•Confirm that your mobile service provider supports digital data 
services in your planned usage area. If digital data service is not 
available, you can purchase an analog modem card that is 
compatible with your Ericsson mobile phone and use data 
functions on the available analog system.
•Verify that you have the necessary subscription.
Note! The availability of digital mobile voice service does not necessarily 
imply that your mobile service operator supports digital data oper-
ation.
Setting Up Your Computer
To operate properly with the modem in your Ericsson mobile phone, 
make sure that your computer has the following hardware and 
software:
•A functional serial port
•An operating system that supports data access software, such as 
Windows 95 or Windows 98
•Appropriate fax (class 2.0), Internet access, or file transfer 
software
Note! Class “2.0” is different from Class “2”.
Initial Setup
Successful first-time setup of your phone and computer for data 
operation involves the following steps:
1  Connect Your Computer to Your Phone
Your Ericsson DA 18 Phone Book Manager Accessory Kit con-
tains a serial interface cable. The cable has a plug on one end that 
matches the receptacle on the bottom of your Ericsson mobile 
phone. The other end of the cable has a 9-pin female connector 
that matches the standard 9-pin serial interface port connector. 
Connect one end of the cable to your Ericsson mobile phone and 
the other end to the serial port on your computer.

58 Data, Fax, and Internet Calls
Notforcommercialuse-EricssonInc.
Note! If you are trying to connect to a 25-pin serial interface port on 
your computer, you will need an adapter. You can purchase a 25-
pin serial interface port adapter at most computer supply stores.
2  Install Your Modem Control Software (driver)
The modem control software (driver) that you need to use your 
Ericsson mobile phone is available on the compact disc included 
in your DA 18 Phone Book Manager Accessory Kit.  Refer to the 
Installing Your Modem Driver From Your Compact Disc section 
at the end of this chapter for help with installing drivers for some 
operating systems. When the appropriate driver is loaded, refer to 
the sections on making and receiving data and fax calls later in this 
chapter.
3  Set up your data access software according to the instructions sup-
plied with it.
Operation
Receiving Data and Fax Calls
When your phone and computer are properly set up, your phone 
will go into Data/Fax profile ( )as soon as your fax or file transfer 
software is started. You are then ready to receive data and fax calls. If 
you do not see the Data/Fax icon, refer to the Troubleshooting 
chapter.
Review the instructions from your mobile service provider that 
describe the procedures and rules for making and receiving data calls 
in your area. If you are having trouble receiving a data call, you may 
need to configure your phone manually to receive a data call. To 
configure your phone manually, do the following:
1  Set up your phone and computer as described above.
2 Press 
ë or î from the Standby screen to access the main menu.
3 Press 
ë or î until the PROFILES menu is highlighted.
4 Press  
YES to open the PROFILES menu.
5 Press 
ë or î until the NextCallType submenu is highlighted.
6   Press  YES to open the NextCallType submenu. The current 
selection is indicated by a filled radio button.
7 Press 
ë or î  until the call type for the next call you will receive is 
highlighted.
8 Press 
YES to select the highlighted call type.
9  Selection stored! appears in the display. Your phone is now 
configured to a specific type for your next incoming call.
Note! The NextCallType setting will be reset to Voice call after every 
incoming call. If you plan to receive several data calls, reset the fea-
ture after you complete each call.
Making Data and Fax Calls
When your phone and computer are properly set up, your phone 
will go into Data/Fax profile as soon as your fax or file transfer 
software is started. You are then ready to send a fax, or initiate data 
calls, as with any other modem.

Data, Fax, and Internet Calls 59
Notforcommercialuse-EricssonInc.
Review the instructions from your mobile service provider that 
describe the procedures and rules for making and receiving data calls 
in your area.
Note! Your phone will remain in Data/Fax profile until your phone cable 
is disconnected.
Note! To avoid unnecessary airtime charges, terminate your data calls as 
soon as you have finished transferring files by pressing the NO key. 
Some software can be set to do this automatically.
Making Voice Calls While Connected to Your Computer
You can originate voice calls while your phone is in Data/Fax profile 
and you are not on a data call. You can receive voice calls if the 
NextCallType is set to Voice Call.
Your Ericsson mobile phone enables you to initiate voice calls from 
Windows applications when connected to the Ericsson Voice Call 
Dialer. This is particularly useful if you have contact cards with 
phone numbers in a contact management application. You can open 
a contact card, click on the phone icon, and originate a call using 
your Ericsson mobile phone. Then you simply pick up your mobile 
phone and continue the call. The Ericsson Voice Call Dialer is 
compatible with most contact manager software packages. Refer to 
the “Manual Installation of Your Modem Driver” or “Voice Call 
Dialer” section at the end of this chapter for help with installing this 
driver for some operating systems.
Disconnecting
Disconnect your Ericsson mobile phone from your computer by 
disconnecting the cable from your phone and the serial port from 
your computer. When your fax program is stopped or when your 
interface cable is disconnected, your phone will exit Data/Fax profile 
and return to the previously selected profile.
Use With Other Ericsson Accessories
Rapid or Travel Charger
To charge your phone’s battery with an Ericsson rapid or travel 
charger during data operation, do the following:
1  Plug one end of the cable from your DA 18 Phone Book Manager 
Accessory Kit into your phone.
2  Plug the other end of the cable from your DA 18 Phone Book 
Manager Accessory Kit into the serial port on your computer.
3  Plug the charger cable into the bottom of the connector from your 
DA 18 Phone Book Manager Accessory Kit cable.
4  Plug the charger cable into the wall outlet.

60 Data, Fax, and Internet Calls
Notforcommercialuse-EricssonInc.
Desktop Charger
To charge your phone’s battery with an Ericsson desktop charger 
during data operation, do the following:
1  Plug one end of the cable from your DA 18 Phone Book Manager 
Accessory Kit into the back of your desktop charger.
2  Plug the other end of the cable from your DA 18 Phone Book 
Manager Accessory Kit into the serial port on your computer.
3  Plug the charger cable into the bottom of the connector from your 
DA 18 Phone Book Manager Accessory Kit cable.
4  Plug your charger cable into the wall outlet.
5  Insert the phone into the front compartment of your desktop 
charger. 
Note! When you remove your phone from your desktop charger, your 
phone will exit Data/Fax profile and return to the previously 
selected profile. To return your phone to Data/Fax profile, place 
your phone in your desktop charger and restart your data access 
software.
Achieving Best Performance
Charging your Battery
Both your Ericsson mobile phone and your laptop computer 
batteries should be well-charged before starting data operation. This 
will help you avoid interruptions due to loss of power.
You may charge your phone’s battery with an Ericsson charger 
during data/fax operation as mentioned above.
Signal Strength
It is important to maintain a good signal path between the phone 
and the mobile telephone system when making data calls. Signals 
will generally be stronger when the phone is in an upright position. 
If you are indoors, your signal will generally be stronger when the 
phone is near a window.
In a Vehicle
It is possible to receive data calls from your vehicle. Operation from a 
moving vehicle may not be satisfactory because data may be lost 
when your call is transferred from one mobile base station to 
another. Be sure to give full attention to driving and pull off the road 
and park before making or receiving calls, if driving conditions so 
require.

Transmission Disturbances
Brief interruptions of mobile telephone signals that would not be 
bothersome during a voice call may cause problems during data 
operation, depending upon the error correction capabilities of the 
software being used.  Such interruptions are uncommon during 
stationary operation, but can be caused by vehicles or people passing 
nearby, especially in areas of low signal strength.  You can use the 
signal strength indicator on your phone to verify that you have a 
good signal path.
