Voice Mail++
8. Voice Mail++
Voice Mail is a network feature that enables those who call you to leave
a voice message.
Note: You can use Voice Mail with either one or two phone lines.
When you receive a voice message, your phone lets you know by beeping,
displaying an icon on the screen, or showing a text message. The method
of notification depends upon your carrier.
Additionally, if you receive more than one Voice Mail message, your phone
might display the number of messages that you have received. Finally, if
you have subscribed to two different phone lines, the message would
indicate to which line the message is intended.
However, even though your phone notifies you of a message, the Voice
Mail feature is independent of your phone’s software. To use Voice Mail,
you must have:
•a voice mail subscription
•a voice mailbox number
•a temporary password
These items are provided by your Service Provider. Additionally, your
Service Provider should tell you how to record a greeting for your voice
mailbox and how to change the temporary password.
After you obtain this information from your Service Provider, you must
then save the voice mailbox number given to you to your phone. Refer to
“Saving the Voice Mailbox Number” on page 36.
After you have saved your voice mailbox number, refer to “Listening to
Your Voice Messages” on page 36.
Note: If you have difficulty using the Voice Mail feature, contact your
Service Provider.

Working with Two Phone Lines
If your particular SIM card supports it, this phone can have two phone
lines. Your Service Provider can let you know if your SIM card allows the
use of this feature and give you access to the use of two phone lines.
If you decide to use two phone lines, you can select one of the two lines
for outgoing calls, but you can still answer calls on both lines.
If you use two phone lines, you will be given a voice mailbox number for
each line. You need to save each phone line’s voice mailbox number
separately.
To do this, first select the outgoing line and save its voice mailbox number.
Then, select the outgoing line and save its number.
•Listening to Your Voice Messages
You can call your voice mailbox using any of the following methods:
•if there’s a notification message on your screen and appears at
the bottom, you can press to call your voice mailbox
•if you’ve saved your voice mailbox number in your phone, press and

•Using voice dialing
Your phone’s voice dialing feature let’s you dial a number using your
voice. Before you can begin using this feature, you need to create entries
in the phone book so you can associate a "voice tag" with the name you
wish to dial.
Adding a voice tag to a phone book entry
To create entires in the phone book, see “Saving names and numbers” on
page 28. By this time you should be familiar wirh the phone book. If not
see “Phone book” on page 28.

5The phone automatically stops recording then saves and replays the
voice tag.
If recording is not successful, your phone asks if you want to try again.
Press to try again or to exit.
Warning: Do not rely only on voice tag for dialing emergency numbers.
In emergencies, stress causes changes in your voice, which
may keep the phone from recognizing the command.
Notes about voice tags
•Voice tags are not language dependent; any clearly spoken word or
phrase can serve as a voice tag.
•It’s easier for the phone to differentiate between long, unique voice
tags. For example you might want to record a person’s first and last
names rather than their first name.
•Voice tags must be no longer than 2 seconds.
•Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. Record and use them in
a quiet environment.
•If you delete a name, any associated voice tag is also deleted.
•The recording process stops automatically; pressing aborts the
recording attempt.

•Using Batteries, Chargers, and
Accessories
This section provides information about the phone’s batteries, accessories,
and chargers. Be apprised that the information in this section is subject
to change as the batteries, chargers, and accessories change.
This phone is intended for use when supplied with power from an ACP-7U,
an ACP-8U, LCH-8, or an LCH-9. Other usage could invalidate any
approval given to this apparatus and might be dangerous.
Warning! When you purchase batteries, chargers, and
accessories for your phone, use only batteries, chargers, and
accessories that have received approval from the phone’s
manufacturer. The use of any other type of phone-related hardware will
invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the phone, and could also
be dangerous For availability of approved batteries, chargers, and
accessories, check with your dealer.
Note: For information on how to charge and recharge your battery, refer
to “Charging the Battery” on page 10.
When the battery is fully charged, the indicator will tell you that
the battery is fully charged.
When you are not using a charger, disconnect it from the power source.
Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for more than a week,
since overcharging could shorten its life span. If left unused, a fully-
charged battery will discharge itself over time.
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
Therefore, allow it to cool down or warm up before trying to charge it.
8890ug.book Page 107 Tuesday, November 30, 1999 3:39 PM
[ 108 ] 8890 User Guide v8 11/30/99
When the battery is running out of power and your phone only has a few
minutes of talk time remaining, a warning tone sounds and the
message appears briefly. When no more talk time is left, a warning
tone is sounded and the phone switches itself off.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur
when a metallic object, like a coin, a clip, or a pen causes a direct
connection of the + and - terminals of the battery, which are metal strips
on the back of the battery.
An example of short-circuiting could occur if you carry a spare battery in
your pocket or purse, where the battery could come into contact with
such objects like a coin. Short-circuiting could damage either the battery
or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in either
summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the
battery. Always try to keep the battery between 15 C and 25 C (59 F and
77 F).
A phone with a hot or cold battery might not work temporarily, even if the
battery is fully charged. The performance of Li-Ion batteries is particularly
limited in temperatures below 0 C (32 F).
The following list provides a guideline that you can follow:
•When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably
shorter than normal, buy a new battery.
•Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
•Never use any charger or battery that is damaged and/or worn out.
•Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of
batteries by putting them in fire!
•When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and pull
the plug, not the cord.

Reference Information
•Important Safety Information
This section provides additional safety information. A brief overview of
safety can be found in “For Your Safety” on page 1.
Traffic Safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle. Always park the
vehicle before using the phone.
After completing your phone conversation, always secure the phone back
into its holder; do not place the phone on the passenger seat or place it
where it can break loose in a collision or during a sudden stop.
Note: The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or horn on
public roads is not permitted.
Remember: Safety—Your most important call.
Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations that are in force in any area,
and always switch off your phone wherever it is forbidden to use it.
Otherwise, the use of your phone could cause interference or danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read the
associated user guide first and obtain detailed safety instructions.
Note: Do not connect incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, you are advised that,
for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of
personnel, it is recommended that the phone should only be used in the
normal operating position. This position is when the phone is held to your
ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder.

Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic equipment might not be shielded
against the RF signals from your wireless phone. The following four
subsections provide more information about this topic.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of six
inches (20 cm.) should 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 (20 cm) from their
pacemaker when the phone is switched on
•should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
•should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference
Note: If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, switch off your phone immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones could interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you might want to consult your service
provider.
Other Medical Devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular phones,
could interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical
devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Also
contact these authorities if you have any questions.
8890ug.book Page 110 Tuesday, November 30, 1999 3:39 PM
8890 User Guide v8 11/30/99 [ 111 ]
Reference Information
Switch off your phone in health care facilities or where any posted
regulations instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities could
be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals could improperly affect installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. These could include electronic fuel
injection systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems,
electronic speed control systems, or air bag systems.
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
Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your phone if you are in any area that has 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.
You are advised to switch off the phone while at a refueling point (service
station). And, you are reminded of the need to observe restrictions
regarding the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and
distribution areas), chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in
progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often—but not always—
clearly marked. These areas include the following: below deck on boats;
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.
8890ug.book Page 111 Tuesday, November 30, 1999 3:39 PM
[ 112 ] 8890 User Guide v8 11/30/99
Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should service the phone or install the phone in
a vehicle. Faulty installation or service could be dangerous and might
invalidate any warranty that could apply to the unit.
Regularly check that all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle is
mounted and operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the
same compartment as the phone, its parts, or accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates
with great force. Do not place objects, including both the installed or the
portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If the in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless
telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the
aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions could lead to the suspension or the
denial of telephone services to the offender, or it could result in legal
action, or both scenarios could apply.
•Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT!
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals,
wireless and landline networks, and user-programmed functions.
Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless phone for essential
communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
8890ug.book Page 112 Tuesday, November 30, 1999 3:39 PM
8890 User Guide v8 11/30/99 [ 113 ]
Reference Information
Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone must be switched on
and be used in a service area that has adequate signal strength.
Emergency calls might not be possible on all wireless phone networks or
when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check
with local service providers.
Always ensure that your phone is properly charged before attempting any
emergency calls. If you allow your battery to become empty, you will be
unable to receive or make calls, including emergency calls. You must then
wait a few minutes after the charging begins to place any emergency
calls.
Making an Emergency Call
1If the phone is not on, switch it on.
2Enter the emergency number for your present location (e.g. 911 or
any other official emergency number—emergency numbers vary by
location).
3Press
If certain features are in use (Keyguard, fixed dialing, restrict calls, etc.),
you might first need to turn those features off before you can make an
emergency call. Consult this document and your local cellular service
provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all of the necessary
information as accurately as possible. Remember that your wireless phone
might be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident—
do not terminate the call until given permission to do so.
Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low-power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.
8890ug.book Page 113 Tuesday, November 30, 1999 3:39 PM
[ 114 ] 8890 User Guide v8 11/30/99
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines that included safety levels for handheld wireless
phones. Those guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously
set by both U.S and international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992)*, NCRP Report 86 (1986)*, ICNIRP (1996)*, and
RSS-102 issue 1.
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).
