Cell Broadcast Messages

These are general messages that your service provider broadcasts
to all phones in a geographic area. Your phone can only receive a
cell broadcast message when it is in idle mode.

The messages are broadcast in numbered 'channels'. For
example, channel 050 might be for local weather, traffic reports
or stock market prices. Please contact your service provider for a
list of available channels and the information they provide.

While a broadcast message is scrolling across the display, you can
stop and start it by pressing

<. Press > to restart the

message from the beginning. If you want to remove the message
from the display, press

C.

AIf you need to use the < and > keys for their normal

functions while you are receiving a cell broadcast message,
you must first remove the message.

When the message has scrolled across the display, the beginning
of the message remains until one of the following occurs: you
remove it; a new message arrives; or you leave the geographic
area. For set up details, see Cell Broadcast.
