NEC 535M
Welcome to the NEC 535M wireless phone.
Your NEC 535M wireless phone is equipped with a battery, SIM card, hands-free headset, and a charger. Other accessory options
can customize your phone for greater performance and mobility. To purchase optional accessories, contact your wireless service
provider or contact NEC customer Care Center at 1-800-637-5917.
Wireless System Structure
All the NEC 535M features described in this user guide are supported by your phone. However, for all these features to work, you
must have a SIM card (the most important component for phone function; included in the box supplied by your Service Provider)
that also supports these features. Even if you have a fully featured SIM card, any feature will not work if it is not supported by the
Network transmitting your call. This last point is especially important when you are roaming among networks.
User Guide Conventions
The user guide legends direct your attention to specific information. The user guide legends are:
*This is a set of paragraphs containing instructions. Follow the directions in the sequential order provided in the user guide.
LThis type of paragraph contains details of where to find related information to the topic being explained.
OThis type of paragraph contains information worth noting and is provided in the right column.
IThis type of paragraph contains important information.

Display Information
IThe LCD on your phone uses high-precision technology. Even so, the LCD may contain pixels (dots) that fail to light
or remain permanently lit. Note that this is normal and does not indicate a problem with your display.
Check box and Radio Buttons
A check box enables/disables a feature or option. Multiple check boxes can be selected at the same time. Selecting a radio button
option automatically cancels the previous selection, so only one radio button can be selected at one time. To select or cancel a
check box or radio button, highlight and select the option.
