This handset can be used to send and receive text messages.
A differentiation is made between urgent and normal messages
which are signalled in different ways on the handset. Every
message is stored in a list which can contain up to 10 entries.
You can set the behavior of the handset for more than 10 mes-
sages by means of the ”Message Memory: Overwrite” menu
item. You can also receive and send messages during a con-
nection.
The signalling of normal and urgent messages can be effected
by means of different ringer melodies (refer to menu: Ringer
Settings).
Messages cannot be sent or received if the handset is outside
the range of the system or is in the charger whilst ”Silent charg-
ing” is switched on.
If a message cannot be delivered, the sender always hears an
error beep. If a message is received whilst you are making a
menu setting, the menu is aborted and all entries which have
not yet been saved are not stored. Furthermore, phone num-
bers which have already been entered and the text of a mes-
sage which you are currently writing are lost if you receive a
message.
Urgent
messages
Urgent messages are messages which you must confirm. An
activated key lock is temporarily deactivated when receiving
such a message so that its receipt can be acknowledged. If
you receive an urgent message, this is immediately signalled on
the display.
If you use the ringer, you can hear the melody for urgent mes-
sages. The ringer volume increases to the maximum during the
signalling process. If you receive an urgent message during a
call, you hear a repeated alert tone in the speech path.
Normal
messages
Normal messages are messages which you don’t need to con-
firm. The ”Normal Message Display” setting can be used to
select whether or not a normal message is shown. When
selected normal messages are immediately signalled on the
display.
If you use the ringer, you hear the melody for normal messages
once. If you receive a normal message during a call, then you
hear a short alert tone in the speech path.
