In today’s fast paced world, it has become a necessity to
have access to real time information. Your communications
tools must provide you with this access from anywhere

This 1X digital handset enables carriers supporting 1X
technology to provide consumers with access to high
speed connectivity for web browsing, email and mobile
e-commerce. Operating on the 800 MHz Amps/CDMA
and 1900 MHz PCS frequencies, the CDM-8500 allows
for seamless nationwide coverage as well as offering
state-of-the-art, user-friendly features. Voice activated
dialing and 2-way speakerphone are great for enhancing
hands-free use of this phone. T9TM Text Input, vibrating
alert and a 7-line LCD display make the CDM-8500 eas-
ier to use.
Seven different LCD colors let you set the backlight to
match your mood. Red, yellow, deep green, green, blue,
purple and white. You can also set the backlight to change
color everytime you open your phone. The keypad is
always backlight blue.
Your new CDM-8500 provides you with something only
an Audiovox phone can: the proven reliability that has
made us a leading wireless handset provider. Please
take a few moments to read the following pages of the
owner’s manual. It will help you make the most efficient
use of this valuable communications tool.
