General Information 5

General Information

Congratulations and thank you for buying the Ericsson R38

Smartphone, the ultimate mobile phone and personal digital

assistant. This is an advanced, yet easy to use, product with a

wide range of features, designed to make everyday life much

easier.

Your R38 gives you the freedom to communicate wherever you

are and whenever you want. Along with a host of mobile phone

functions, your R38 can send and receive e-mail and SMS

messages, browse the Internet via a WAP services browser and

much, much more.

Operators and Subscription

To be able to use your phone, you need to have a subscription to

a network. This is obtained from the network operator.

The services included in your subscription depend on your

choice of operator and/ or subscription. Therefore, some of the

services and functions described in this manual may not be

accessible to you. If you want a complete list of the services

included in your subscription, please contact your network

operator.

Phone Information

6 General Information

GSM 900/1900 Dual Band

The Ericsson R38 is a dual band phone, which means that you

can use your phone in two different kinds of networks - the

GSM 9 and GSM 19 systems.

The GSM 19 system is used primarily in the US and other

parts of the Americas, and the GSM 9 system is used primarily

in Europe, the Asia/Pacific region and in some parts of Africa.

This means that you can used your R38 on six continents.

Switching between the two systems is done automatically, which

means that you can use your phone without ever having to

consider which system is being used. This is taken care of by the

networks. However, you should note that the functions offered

and the network coverage differ depending on your choice of

operator and/or subscription.

SIM and PIN

You will obtain a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card with

your subscription. The SIM card contains a computer chip that

keeps track of your phone number, the services you have ordered

from your network operator and your Phone Book information,

among other things.

Your SIM card is supplied with a security code or PIN (Personal

Identity Number), which you need in order to gain access to the

network. Your PIN may also be required when you want to

change settings in your phone. Furthermore, some operators may

have services that require a second PIN, your PIN2. You will find

your PIN (and PIN2) in the information from your operator.

If you have set certain security options in your phone, when you

turn on your phone, it prompts you to enter your PIN. If the

PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card will

be blocked. If this happens you can unlock it by using your PUK

(Personal Un-blocking Key code), which you also get from your

operator. You should be careful with your PIN, since it is your

protection against unauthorized use of your phone and

subscription.
