Congratulations on entering a new era in cellular
communications. The MobileAccess phone’s wireless

communications devices because the phone combines
several different technologies in a single familiar
package.
You can place and receive voice calls, use two-way
messaging services, and access corporate databases,
e-mail and other on-line services. In addition, the
integrated fax/data modem enables the phone to be
attached to portable computers and PDAs for analog
and digital wireless connections.

combinations of accessories. For the contents of your

EIn AMPS mode, the phone can be used to place and
receive phone calls and to retrieve data.
EIn CDPD mode, the phone can be used to send and
retrieve data and to place phone calls.
EIn Dual mode, the phone automatically switches
between voice and data modes. You can place and
receive voice calls and send and receive data.
WFor more information about operation modes, see
Chapter 1 of the MobileAccess Reference Manual. The default
operating mode is AMPS.
WTo change modes, see Chapter 3 of the MobileAccess
Reference Manual.
