3. 1 Using the Phone
When you begin to use the Dopod S300 phone functions, you will need
to enter the SIM card PIN number in order to connect to the GSM mobile
network. When using this device, you can control wireless functions, e.g.
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
At 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 by connecting to a wireless mobile network. But other phone
functions such as browsing the calendar, listening to music, or playing
games can still be used.
