Making and Receiving Calls

Limiting outbound calls (limit calls)

Limit calls is a function that allows you to control calls that can be

made from your phone. You can limit outgoing calls to specific

segments of your Phone Book, while leaving incoming calls unaffected.

Both limit calls and lock phone allow you to call 911 and your three

stored emergency numbers. This function simply limits your outgoing

calls whereas, locking your phone restricts your entire phone.

Setting Limitation

Off No limitation; calls can be made to any number.

To incoming Only calls to 911 and stored emergency numbers can

be made.

to loc 1-9 You can only call Phone Book entries 1-9, 911 and

stored emergency numbers.

to loc 1-99 You can only call Phone Book entries 1-99, 911 and

stored emergency numbers.

1 From the Security menu, scroll and select Limit Calls.

Scroll and select off, to loc 1-9, to loc 1-99 or to incoming.

Making calls when outgoing calls are limited

If you’ve chosen to limit outgoing calls, it doesn’t matter how you

attempt the call (e.g., dialing manually, from the Phone Book or Calls

List) the phone number is checked against the Phone Book (pauses and

links are ignored). If the number is not in the Phone Book or in a

limited location, an error message is displayed. The phone number is

still displayed when the standby display reappears, so you can edit it.

Changing the Phone Book when outgoing calls are limited

If you’ve chosen to limit outgoing calls, you cannot change your Phone

Book (including saving, editing or restricting).

Restricted Phone Book entries

You will still be prompted to enter the lock code for restricted Phone

Book entries whether or not your outgoing calls are limited.

SB200 22-28 calls 4/9/99, 2:21 PM23

Calling From the Phone Book

Your phone has an internal Phone Book. Once you create entries in your

Phone Book (see the Phone Book section), dial stored numbers quickly

by selecting an entry, speed dialing, touch dialing or fast 4 dialing.

Note

If the Phone Book entry includes a pause or link, push Jog Dial to release

the remaining numbers.

SB200 22-28 calls 4/9/99, 2:21 PM24

Making and Receiving Calls

Fast four-digit dialing (fast 4 dial)

Fast 4 dial allows you to dial just the last four digits of a phone

number stored in your Phone Book. The last four digits of the number

you want to dial must be unique (e.g., only one phone number in your

Phone Book has those last four digits).

1 From the Extras menu, scroll and select Fast 4 Dial.

2 Scroll and select on or off.

Once you’ve turned fast 4 dial on, you can dial using this feature:

1 From standby, enter the last four digits of the phone

number you want to call, then press

SEND

The phone searches your entire Phone Book for those exact digits.

Automatic dial

If only one Phone Book entry matches, the phone automatically

dials it for you.

Error message

An error message is displayed if more than one Phone Book entry

has those four digits or no Phone Book entries match the digits.

Pauses and links

For entries with pauses or links, the four digits preceding the first

pause or link in the entry are used to match the entered digits.

Call prefixing

It’s not unusual to leave out the area code when you store “local”

numbers in your Phone Book. However, this may pose a problem

when you travel. When you’re outside your normal area code and you

want to call one of these local numbers, temporarily add the area code

(prefix) and dial it like this:

1 Scroll and select the Phone Book entry you want to call, then

push Jog Dial to display the Options menu.

2 Scroll and select Prefix.

When prompted, enter the prefix (area code).

3 Push Jog Dial to automatically dial the number.

Sending and Receiving Data

You are able to use your phone to send and receive electronic data (such

as e-mail, faxes and WWW). Your phone can be set to convert digital

signals (which are used by computers) to analog signals (which are used

in telephone communication). This function enables your phone to act as

a modem allowing it to send and receive computer communications.

However, this capability is dependent upon your service provider being

able to support it. Check with your service provider to see which of the

following electronic data functions are supported in your area.

Electronic data using your phone and a computer

To send and receive electronic data, just connect your phone to a

computer using the Sony Interface Cable (QN-012DAS) or Desktop

Charger Speakerphone (QN-023DCS). These accessories include a “Data

Communication Guide” which provides detailed information regarding

sending and receiving data. You can also download the guide from the

Sony Wireless website at www.sony.com/wireless.

Sending data

As long as your phone is connected to a computer, sending data or fax

calls from your phone doesn’t require any special settings.

Receiving data

When your phone is connected to a computer and an incoming call is

received, the Recv. Data setting tells your phone how to handle the

transmission. It’s best to turn this function off unless you are expecting

to receive data or fax calls. If you choose fax, data/modem or PC control,

your computer routes the data accordingly and normal voice calls aren’t

received. All settings except PC Control reset to off when you turn your

phone off.

Rules and Regulations

The U.S. Federal Communications

Commission and the Industry

Canada regulate cellular/PCS

telephone service in their respective

countries. It is important for you,

the cellular/PCS telephone user, to

observe the applicable regulations

when operating your cellular/PCS

telephone in either country. In

addition to these U.S. and Canadian

federal regulations, you may be

bound also by certain state,

provincial, territorial, and local

rules and regulations, as well as by

your cellular/PCS carrier’s tariff

(the rates, terms, and conditions of

its service). If you wish to use your

cellular/PCS telephone in both the

U.S. and Canada, please consult

with your System Operator.

Furthermore, you should remember

that your cellular/PCS telephone is

a radiotelephone, — i.e., it combines

both wireline technology, as used in

your home or office telephone

system, and radio technology — and

that the scope of regulations and

precautions is therefore broader

than the scope of regulations and

precautions relating to wireline-

only telephone usage.

Some of the major points of

consideration are set out below.

Please note, however, that these

“Rules and Regulations” and

“Safety Precautions” sections do

not constitute legal advice, and are

intended merely for general

information purposes. If you have

specific questions, please contact

your cellular/PCS carrier (System

Operator).

License —

If your home system is

in the U.S., you do not require a

separate license to operate your

cellular/PCS telephone; obtaining a

cellular/PCS telephone access

number is sufficient to register you

as a user. If your home system is in

Canada, a separate license is

required; your carrier will assist you

in the licensing process. If you wish

to use your cellular/PCS telephone

on both sides of the border, please

contact your cellular/PCS carrier

(System Operator).

Equipment modifications — The U.S.

Federal Communications Commission

has type-approved the model of

cellular/PCS telephone which you have

purchased, and has allocated a specific

frequency range for cellular/PCS

service. No changes or adjustments are

to be made to your cellular/PCS

telephone.

The radio equipment shall be made

available for inspection upon

request by representatives of the

FCC or licensees.

Denial of service — A cellular/

PCS carrier may deny service

temporarily or terminate service for

violation of any government

regulations or violation of its tariff.

Privacy —

As a telephone user, you

have come to assume a certain

standard of privacy when you place

or receive a telephone call via the

traditional wireline systems.

However, because cellular/PCS

telephones utilize radio

transmissions to effect calls, the

same standard cannot always be

assured. While it is unlawful for any

unauthorized person to divulge or

use any information obtained from

intercepting or “listening in on”

conversations intended for others,

you should not assume that your

conversation is completely secure.

Commercially available scanning

equipment can permit a third party

to monitor the radio channels used

for cellular/PCS telephone calls.

Interference —

No person shall

interfere with, or cause interference to,

any radio communication or signal.

SB200 57-76 index 4/9/99, 2:22 PM60

Additional

Information

scientific evidence that adverse

health effects result from the use of

cellular/PCS telephones.

The Institute of Electrical and

Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in

1991, and The American National

Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1992,

updated the 1982 ANSI Standard

for safety levels with respect to

human exposure to RF energy.

Over 120 scientists, engineers, and

physicians from universities,

government health agencies, and

industry, reviewed the available

research and developed this

updated Standard. In March 1993,

the U.S. Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) proposed the

adoption of this updated Standard.

The design of your phone complies

with this updated Standard. Of

course, if you want to limit RF

exposure even further than the

updated ANSI Standard, you may

choose to control the duration of

your calls and operate your phone

in the most power efficient manner.

Efficient phone operation

For your phone to operate at the

lowest power level consistent with

satisfactory call quality, please

observe the following guidelines:

Your phone has an extendable

antenna; extend it fully whenever

possible for maximum efficiency.

Hold the phone as you would any

other telephone. While speaking

directly into the mouthpiece,

position the antenna up and over

your shoulder.

Do not hold the antenna when the

phone is in use. Holding the

antenna affects call quality and

may cause the phone to operate at

a higher power level than needed.

Safety Precautions

IMPORTANT

For safe and efficient

operation of your phone,

observe these guidelines.

Your dual band (analog/digital

CDMA) hand-held portable cellular/

PCS telephone uses both analog

frequency modulation (FM)

technology and digital Code Division

Multiple Access (CDMA) technology.

CDMA is a newer radio frequency

(RF) technology than the FM

technology that has been used for

radio communications for decades.

Your dual band portable cellular/

PCS telephone is a radio

transmitter and receiver. When the

phone is ON, it receives and sends

out radio frequency (RF) energy.

The phone operates in the

frequency range of 800 MHz in

analog mode and 1.9 GHz in digital

CDMA mode. When you use your

phone, the cellular/PCS system

handling your call controls the

mode of operation (analog or

digital CDMA) and the power level

at which your phone transmits. In

the analog mode, the power is

continuously transmitted at a level

that can range from about 6 mW to

about 600 mW. In the digital

CDMA mode, the power is

transmitted as a digitally coded

waveform at a rate varying from

100 Hz to 800 Hz. The average

power can range from about 0.01

µW to about 300 mW.

Exposure to radio

frequency energy

Research on health effects from RF

energy has focused for many years

on FM radio technology. That

research and studies regarding

newer radio technologies, such as

CDMA, have found no credible

SB200 57-76 index 4/9/99, 2:22 PM61

Heat and sunlight exposure

Avoid leaving your cellular/PCS

phone exposed to direct sunlight or

extreme heat. Extended exposure

to heat and sunlight may damage

the components of your cellular/

PCS phone.

Antenna care and

replacement

Do not use the phone with a

damaged antenna. If a damaged

antenna comes into contact with the

skin, a minor burn may result.

Replace a damaged antenna

immediately. Take your phone to an

authorized service center for repair.

Use only the supplied or approved

antenna. Unauthorized antennas,

modifications, or attachments

could impair call quality, damage

the phone, and violate FCC

regulations.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on

the use of cellular/PCS telephones

in the areas where you drive.

Always obey them. Also, when

using your phone while driving,

please:

• pay full attention to driving;

• use hands-free operation, if

available;

• pull off the road and park

before making or answering a

call, if driving conditions so

require.

Electronic devices

Most modern electronic equipment

is shielded from RF energy.

However, RF energy from cellular/

PCS telephones may affect some

electronic equipment.

RF energy may affect improperly

installed or inadequately shielded

electronic operating and

entertainment systems in motor

vehicles. Check with the

manufacturer or its representative

to determine if these systems are

adequately shielded from external

RF energy. You should also check

with the manufacturer of any

equipment that has been added to

your vehicle.

Medical devices

Consult the manufacturer of any

personal medical devices (such as

pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to

determine if they are 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 regulations

posted in the areas instruct you to

do so. Hospitals or health care

facilities may be using equipment

that could be sensitive to external

RF energy.

Aircraft

Turn your phone OFF before

boarding any aircraft.

• Use it on the ground only with

crew permission.

• Do not use in the air.

To prevent possible interference

with aircraft systems, U.S. Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA)

regulations require you to have

permission from a crew member to

use your phone while the plane is

on the ground. To prevent

interference with aircraft

communication systems, FCC

regulations prohibit using your

phone while the plane is in the air.

SB200 57-76 index 4/9/99, 2:22 PM62

Additional

Information

In the United States, vehicles using

liquefied petroleum gas (such as

propane or butane) must comply

with the National Fire Protection

Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of

this standard, contact the National

Fire Protection Association, One

Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA

02269, Attn: Publication Sales

Division.

In Canada, vehicles using liquefied

petroleum gas (such as propane or

butane) must comply with the

Canadian Gas Association (CAN/

CGS-B149.2). For a copy of this

standard, contact the Canadian

Standards Association, 178 Rexdale

Blvd., Etobicoke, ON M9W 1R3,

Attn.: Standard Sales Department.

Children

Do not allow children to play with

your phone. It is not a toy.

Children could hurt themselves or

others (by poking themselves or

others in the eye with the antenna,

for example). Children also could

damage the phone or make calls

that increase your telephone bill.

Blasting areas

To avoid interfering with blasting

operations, turn your unit OFF

when in a “blasting area” or in

areas posted: “Turn off two-way

radio.” Construction crews often

use remote control RF devices to

set off explosives.

Potentially explosive

atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF when in any

area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere. It is rare, but your

phone or its accessories could

generate sparks. 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 gas

stations; below deck on boats; fuel

or chemical transfer or storage

facilities; 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’s engine.

Do not transport or store

flammable gas, liquid or explosives

in the compartment of your vehicle

which contains your phone or

accessories.
