After purchasing this product, please carefully
read through the user’s manual before
operating. For your reading convenience,
this manual is designed with many tips
and services in order to help you to find
information quickly.
Page Format
Generally, each page is separated into upper
and lower areas, regardless of the left or right
half of the page. Browsing is made from left to
right and then from up to down in a Z shape,
continuing on the next pages. There are small
red boxes on the outer edges of the contents
page to assist you in finding specific chapter
topics.
Topic Format
The beginning of each topic always starts
from the right page: The topic (first) page
will explain what functions can be learned
from the specific topic. The Actions Index
will assist you to quickly search for how
to perform certain actions. The last part is
the contents page. The contents page is
separated into three levels. For example,
in Chapter 3, there are 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 as the
second level; 3.1 is then further divided
into 3.1.1 Phone screen and 3.1.2 Input PIN
number. Similar types of functions may be
further subdivided to reduce confusion.

3.1 Using the Phone Function
When you begin to use the Dopod C500 phone functions, you will need to enter
the SIM card PIN number in order to connect to the GSM mobile network. When
using this phone, you can control wireless functions such as activate/deactivate
the phone. You can also adjust the headset volume anytime during a call or when
using the device.
3.1.1 Phone Functions
In the Phone screen, you can access, dial, search contacts, or save phone
numbers to the contacts list. Under certain circumstances (such as on a plane),
you may need to turn off the phone functions of the handset. You can use the
Comm Manager to manually deactivate/activate the phone’s communication
functions. When the phone function is off, you will not be able to receive calls,
send/receive messages, or use GPRS to connect to wireless mobile network. But
other hand set functions such as browsing the calendar, listening to music, or
playing games can still be used.
