Changing a Profile

The fastest way to change your profile is to press the power key briefly, select the desired profile using the Scroll keys, then press OK.

Setting a Profile Name

You can use a profile name to display your name on the display of your phone. (Note: the General profile can´t be renamed, so use one of the others.) To display your name on the phone display, select Menu, Profiles and select the profile you want to use. Then select Personalize and set up the profile as you desire. The last menu item on the Personalize list is Rename. Here you can type the name you would like to display on your phone. Then press the C-key and select Activate to use the profile

Returning to Standby Mode

If you are deep within the menu structure and would like to return quickly to the main menu, you can do this by pressing and holding down the C-key.

Dialing your Voice Mailbox

Press and hold the "1" key and your phone will dial up your voice mailbox. If the voice mailbox number is not yet assigned, you will be prompted to define it. If you do not have a voice mailbox and/or a service number, contact your service provider.

Finding a Name in the Phonebook

From the main menu, press the down Scroll key to enter your phone book. You can now search for a specific name by typing the first letter of the name.

Viewing Contacts´ Phone Numbers

If you have selected "Contacts list" under Settings in Contacts you can only see the name of the contact in the display list. To see the phone number of a contact in Contacts pressing and holding down the "#" key

Redialing a Number

From the main menu, press the up Scroll key to see the last dialed number, if any. Press the up Scroll key again and you will see the previous number dialed, and so on.

Anytime Alarm Functionality

The alarm in your phone works also when the phone is turned off. So if you set the alarm and turn off your phone, it will switch itself on and sound the alarm at the set time. If you press the C-key, the device asks whether you want to activate the device for calls. Press the C-key to switch off the device or Yes to make and receive calls. Do not press Yes when wireless device use may cause interference or danger, such as in an airplane.

Fast Menu Access

For fast access to a sub-menu, type in the menu number instead of going through the menus with the Scroll key. The number of the menu is the number you see in the upper right corner of the display. So, to set the alarm clock from the main menu, press Menu and then "71". To set the Ringing volume to 1, press Menu and then "421".
