I tried to place a call and
received an alternating high/
low tone.
I tried to listen to my Voice Mail
(or use a paging service, a
calling card, etc.) but nothing
happened.
My phone was stolen. What
should I report and to whom?
I tried to place a calling card call
using the internal Phone Book,
but it didn't work.

What to do if...
This sound means your call did not reach the cellular system. You may have dialed the number too soon
after turning the phone on. Wait until the "NS" light stops blinking before placing a call.
An alternating tone may also indicate that your phone's signal is blocked. Make sure the antenna is fully
extended and you're clear of any obstructions such as bridges, parking garages, or tall buildings.
You have probably turned off the Scratchpad tones. Place your call, enter the access numbers when
prompted by the recording, then press
"Turning Scratchpad Tones On and Off" on page 38 to turn the Scratchpad tones on.
Report a stolen phone to the police and to your service provider (the company that sends you your monthly
cellular service bills).
You may have turned off your Scratchpad tones. Follow the directions in "Turning Scratchpad Tones On
and Off" on page 38 to turn the Scratchpad tones on.
Check that you stored your calling card information in the correct order, and make sure the groups of
numbers are separated by pauses. The easiest way to correct the sequence may be to start from scratch.
Follow the instructions on "Storing Calling Card Information" on page 32, enter your calling card
information again, and store it in the same memory location as your previous attempt.
Also keep in mind that when using your calling card, you must enter the number you are calling with the
area code, but without the initial "1." Check with your long distance carrier for details on using your calling
card.
