Handspring VisorPhone - Manual (Page 17)

Getting Started 11
Congratulations
You’re ready to use your VisorPhone module. Keep these things in mind as
you use your new phone:
■ If you travel outside a coverage area, your phone remains on but you
can’t make or receive calls. If this occurs, the LED blinks red slowly and
the phone periodically tries to register to the network. When you return
to a coverage area, the LED blinks green.
■ Although VisorPhone supports many calling features, such as call
waiting, call hold, call forwarding, 3-way calling, voicemail, SMS, and
SMS Email, check with your service provider to confirm that these
services are available and active on your mobile calling plan.
■ If you travel outside a coverage area, you can’t receive SMS text
messages. However, the messages are stored by the network and you
will receive them when you return to a coverage area.
■ Your account includes a voicemail feature so people can always leave
you a message even when your phone is off.
■ Always use care when operating a mobile phone. If you plan to use your
VisorPhone module while driving a car, we recommend that you
become familiar with local laws concerning use of a mobile phone while
driving, and that you use a headset for hands-free operation. See
“Connecting a headset” on page 77 to learn how to connect a headset to
your VisorPhone.
