About this User’s Guide
Some services and functions described in this User’s
Guide are network- and subscription-dependent.
Because of this, all menus may not be available in your
phone and the shortcut numbers to menus and
functions may vary between phones.
This symbol indicates that a service or

Please refer to the information provided by
your network operator for more information

how to move through the menus.
