■ Call Settings
To designate how your phone handles incoming and outgoing calls,
select MENU > SETTINGS & TOOLS > Call Settings.
Answer Options
To determine how calls may be answered on your phone, select
MENU > SETTINGS & TOOLS > Call Settings > Answer Options
and one of the following:
Flip Open — answer the call by opening the flip.
Any Key — answer the call by pressing any key on the keypad.
Auto With Handsfree — answer the call automatically in about 5 seconds.
Auto With Handsfree mode is not activated except when a headset or
hands-free car kit is attached to the phone.
Auto Retry
To set the phone to automatically redial a number when the attempted
call fails, select MENU > SETTINGS & TOOLS > Call Settings > Auto
Retry > On or Off. Occasionally, your network may experience heavy
traffic resulting in a fast busy signal when you dial. With automatic
retry activated, your phone redials the number (the number of times is
specified by the network) and notifies you once the network is available.
TTY Mode
A phone with TTY/TDD (teletype/telecommunication device for the deaf)
support is able to translate typed characters to voice. Voice can also be
translated into characters and displayed on the TTY. To attach a TTY,
enabling you to communicate with parties also using a TTY device,
select MENU > SETTINGS & TOOLS > Call Settings > TTY Mode and you
may select from one of the following:
TTY Full — turn on full TTY capability.
TTY + Talk — turn on TTY in voice carry-over (VCO) mode.
S E T T I N G S & T O O L S
70
TTY + Hear — turn on TTY in hearing carry-over (HCO) mode.
TTY Off — turn off TTY mode.
One Touch Dial
To initiate a speed dial call by entering the speed dial digits, select MENU >
SETTINGS & TOOLS > Call Settings > One Touch Dial > On or Off. If set to
Off, long press on the speed dial numbers designated in your Contact List
will not function. Otherwise, you need to first press the speed dial numbers
and press the Send key
. See "Speed Dials," p. 52.
Voice Privacy
To set the voice privacy feature for CDMA calls, select MENU > SETTINGS
& TOOLS > Call Settings > Voice Privacy > On or Off. The voice privacy
feature protects the privacy of your current phone conversation from
other callers placing phone calls on the same network. CDMA offers
inherent voice privacy that protects the identity of users and makes
interception very difficult. This is a network service.
DTMF Tones
Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) tones or touch tones are the tones
that sound when you press the keys on your phone keypad. You can use
touch tones for many automated dial-up services such as banking and
airlines or for entering your voicemail box number and password. To set
the key tone length, select MENU > SETTINGS & TOOLS > Call Settings >
DTMF Tones. Select Normal to send out a tone for a fixed period of time
no matter how long you press the key, or select Long to send out a
continuous tone for as long as you keep the key pressed.
