Getting Started
Getting service
You must contact your service provider to obtain service for your Samsung N150
phone. It is suggested that you read this user guide to fully understand
the features that your phone supports.
Turning your phone on
When you are ready to turn your phone on, fully extend the antenna for
the clearest reception. Open the phone’s flip cover and select
the [END] key and hold down for more than one second to turn the
phone on:
Note:
Your phone has a built-in antenna. As with any other radio-transmitting
device, do not touch the antenna as it affects call quality and can cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than is necessary.
The service light in the top left of the phone flashes, and an alert
sounds. The phone begins searching for a network signal. When a
signal is found, the date, time and day display, and the phone enters
standby mode. You can now send and receive calls. The standby mode
screen is shown below:

Note:
If the phone is out-of-service the icon displays. If this happens
you cannot place or receive calls. You can try later when service becomes
available. For further information see “ The top line of the display screen” on
page 36
Answering a call
When you receive a call, the phone will ring and a phone icon is
displayed on the screen. If the caller can be identified, the caller’s
phone number (or name if pre-stored in your Phone Book) is
displayed. If the caller cannot be identified, only the phone icon and “Number Unavailable” displays.
There are several ways to answer an incoming call (See Answer Mode on page 129?):
.
Open the flip.
.
Press the [SEND] key.
.Press any key.
You can also easily set your phone to automatically answer a call after 5 rings,
3 rings, or 1 ring by setting the Auto Answer feature (See page 129?)
. This can
be useful when driving around in a hands-free environment.
Turning your phone off
To turn your phone off, press and hold the [END] key for more than 2
seconds. Notice that when the phone is turned off, both the display
screen and backlight are off.
Note:
If your phone is on and the
[END]
key is selected for less than one
second, the phone will not turn off. This feature stops your phone from being
turned off accidentally.
