Congratulations…
…and thank you for choosing the S 868, a mobile
phone specially suited for the demanding user of com-
munication tools. Retaining the slim, streamlined size
that has become associated with the Ericsson family of
phones, the S 868 sets a new standard for others to
follow.
Apart from its unique toughness and extraordinary
sound quality, the S 868 supports Dual band operation,
which extends the potential for efficient network us-
age. Especially if you frequently use your phone in ur-
ban areas or travel abroad.
Like the other phones from Ericsson, the S 868 is pro-
duced to meet the highest quality standards.
This guide introduces you to your S 868 and shows you
how to get the most out of it. Before you start, please
read the ‘Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use’.
Please note that some of the functions and services de-
scribed in this user’s guide are depending on your
choice of network operator. Should you need additional
information on how to use them, contact your operator.
Mobile Internet
When you are on the move and in need of communica-
tion and information, Mobile Internet is the answer.
Mobile Internet is a service supplied by Ericsson to fa-
cilitate easy communications and rapid information re-
trieval, wherever you are. It gives you access to on-line
customer services, on-line user manuals, and useful in-
formation when you are out travelling. It allows you to
download various communication software which will
ensure you achieve optimum results from your Ericsson
products.
If you run into any problems, there are help texts con-
nected to the different Mobile Internet pages.
The
Internet
address
to
Mobile
Internet
is
http://mobile.ericsson.com/mobileinternet
To get access to the service you also need a user id and
a password. The first time you log on, please use the
following:
User Id: mobile
Password: internet
Note that you must change user id and password the
first time you log on to Mobile Internet.
Press
to enter the menu system. See inside the cover.

General Information
Operators & Subscription
To be able to use your phone, you need to have a sub-
scription to a network. This is obtained from the net-
work 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 subscrip-
tion, please contact your network operator.
GSM 900/1800 Dual Band
The Ericsson S 868 is a dual band phone, which means
that you can use your phone in two different kinds of
networks – the GSM 900 and the GSM 1800 (also called
PCN or DCS 1800) systems.
The GSM 1800 system is practically the same as the
GSM 900 system. The difference between the two is
that they use different frequencies. GSM 900 uses 900
MHz frequency, whereas GSM 1800 uses 1800 MHz.
A dual band phone that combines the two standards
can use both frequencies. This considerably increases
capacity in densely populated urban areas, and conse-
quently
improves
the
coverage
offered
by
your
network operator. It will also offer you enhanced inter-
national roaming, thanks to the additional networks
now available when you are out travelling.
The switching between the two systems is done auto-
matically and seamlessly, which means that you can
use your phone without ever having to consider which
system is best at the time. 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 & PIN
You will obtain a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card
with your subscription. The SIM card contains a com-
puter 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 re-
quired 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.
Every time 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 hap-
pens you can unlock it by using your PUK (Personal Un-
blocking Key code), which you also get from your op-
erator.
You should be careful with your PIN, since it is your pro-
tection against unauthorized use of your phone and
subscription.

Preparing Your Phone for Use
The SIM Card
When you register as a subscriber with a network
operator, you obtain a SIM card.
SIM cards come in two sizes. One is the size of a credit
card, and the other is considerably smaller (about the
size of a regular stamp). The S 868 uses the smaller
card. Many operators deliver credit card sized SIM cards
which have a perforated smaller card that you can take
out easily.
Before you can use your phone, you must insert the SIM
card into the phone.
To Insert the SIM Card
To insert the SIM card, remove the battery (if attached)
and follow these steps:
Release the SIM card
holder by sliding it
in the direction of
the arrow.
Open the holder.
Slide the SIM card
into the holder.
Make certain that the
cut corner is top
right.
Press
to enter the menu system. See inside the cover.

Close the holder.
Lock the holder by
pressing it down and
sliding it in the di-
rection of the arrow
in the picture.
The Battery
Your mobile phone comes with a nickel metal hydride
(NiMH) battery. The battery is not charged when you
buy your phone, but there may be enough power to
turn on the phone. We recommend that you charge the
battery before you use the phone.
To Attach the Battery to the Phone:
Place the battery on the back of the phone.
Press the battery upwards and against the
phone until it snaps into place.
To Remove the Battery
Make sure that the phone is turned off before removing
the battery (see next chapter). Then:
Press the catch on
the bottom of the
battery.
Lift the battery up
and away from the
phone.
To Charge the Battery
Make sure that the battery is attached to the phone.
Then:
Connect the charger to the mains. (The box may
contain more than one mains plug. In this case,
use the one that fits the wall socket.)
4
Press
to enter the menu system. See inside the cover.
Not for Commercial Use
Ericsson Mobile Communications AB
A green indicator on the charger lights up. If
not, make sure you have put the plug into the
charger correctly. (You may have to press hard.)
Connect the clear plastic plug on the charger
cable to the charger. It is correctly inserted
when it snaps into place.
Connect the other
end of the cable to
the phone according
to the picture. The
flash symbol on the
plug must face up-
wards. Note that you
may have to press
hard.
The phone will automatically start charging the battery
when you attach the charger. To indicate charging:
•
the battery meter in the display is continuously
filled and emptied.
•
the indicator on top of the phone shows a steady
red light (green, if the phone is turned on).
When the battery is fully charged, the battery meter in
the display will show full and the indicator on top of the
phone will show a steady green light.
Note!
It is possible to use the phone while the battery is being
charged. This will, however, increase the charging
time.
To Disconnect the Charger
l
Twist the plug con-
nected to the phone
upwards and pull it
out.
When to Charge the Battery
The nickel metal hydride battery that comes with your
phone can be charged whenever you wish without
losing performance. This is not the case with the
cheaper nickel cadmium type batteries, often sold as
accessories from other suppliers. For optimal talk and
standby time in the long run, we recommend that you
only use Ericsson original batteries with your S 868.
To remind you that the battery will soon need to be
charged or replaced with a charged one:
Press
to enter the menu system. See inside the cover.

•
an alarm signal (a long beep) sounds and the mes-
sage ‘Battery low’ appears for ten seconds in the
display.
•
the indicator light on top of the phone starts blink-
ing red.
Note!
If the phone is left turned on, the low battery alarm will
be repeated several times and, finally, the phone will
turn itself off when the battery is no longer able to
power it satisfactorily. It might be possible to turn the
phone on again, but you will not be able to make or re-
ceive any calls. You should charge the battery or re-
place it with a charged one.

Turning On the Phone
To turn on the phone:
Press and hold down the NO (ON/OFF) key until
you hear a click. The display prompts you to
enter your PIN.
Enter your PIN. The digits appear as stars in the
display. If you make a mistake while entering
your PIN, erase the wrong digit by pressing the
CLR key.
Press YES.
If you enter your PIN correctly, ‘ERICSSON’ will appear in
the display. The phone will then search for a network.
Note!
If your PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row,
the SIM card will be blocked and you will have to un-
block it using your PUK code. See chapter ‘Security’.
When a network is found, the phone beeps three times.
The indicator light on top of the phone flashes green
once every second and your network operator’s name
(in most cases abbreviated) is shown in the display. If
you have the charger connected, the indicator will
show a steady green light instead of a flashing one.
You can now make and receive calls. This is called
standby mode.
When No Network Name Is Displayed
If the message ‘Emergency calls only’ is displayed, you
are within range of a network but you are not allowed
to use it. However, in an emergency, you can call the
international emergency number 112. See chapter
‘Making and Receiving Calls’.
If the message ‘No network’ is displayed, there is no
network within range or the received signal is too
weak. You have to move to obtain a sufficiently strong
signal.
To Turn Off the Phone
l
In standby mode, press and hold the NO
(ON/OFF) key until the display is turned off.
Initial Settings
The first time you turn on your S 868, you may want to
change the default language and ring level settings,
and set the clock.
Display Language
Most modern SIM cards automatically set the display
language to the language of the country where you
bought your SIM card. If this is not the case, the default
language is English.
To change the display language:
Press the navigation key LEFT or RIGHT until the
‘Settings’ menu appears.
Press YES to enter the ‘Settings’ menu.
Press the navigation key to the LEFT until the
‘Language’ menu appears.
Press YES to enter the ‘Language’ menu.

The Phone Book
The Phone Book in your S 868 lets you store and recall
phone numbers. This means that the phone can store
all your important numbers. You do not have to re-
member them or carry your address book around.
The Phone Book also keeps track of your last dialled
numbers and, if you subscribe to the Calling Line Identi-
fication service, the last answered numbers. Con-
venient if you have to call someone back.
When you receive a call and the caller’s number is in the
Phone Book, you will see the name in the display.
Before You Start
Before you start creating your personal Phone Book,
there are a few things you need to know. In this section,
you will learn about the two different memories and
how to store the numbers with the international prefix.
We also recommend that you at this stage read the
section about entering characters, even though you
might need to go back to this when you follow the in-
structions later on.
Phone Book Memories
You can store your phone numbers in two different
memories:
•
the card memory on the SIM card,
•
the phone memory.
Storing your numbers in the card memory allows you to
use the numbers stored on the SIM card even when you
change phones, i.e. when you insert your SIM card into
another phone.
On the other hand, by storing your numbers in the
phone memory, they are always available to you on
your phone, even if you change SIM cards.
The
memory
positions
in
the
card
memory
are
numbered from 1 onwards. The actual number of
memory positions available depends on your SIM card.
The phone memory can hold up to 99 phone numbers.
The memory positions are labelled ¤1 – ¤ 99.
Note!
In the ‘Phone book’ menu, press # to enter the ¤ charac-
ter. Outside the ‘Phone book’ menu, you must press
and hold down # to enter the ¤ character.
International Numbers
If you intend to use your phone both at home and
abroad, you should store all phone numbers as interna-
tional phone numbers, that is with the ‘+’ sign – which
automatically will be replaced by the international dial-
ling prefix for the country you are calling from – fol-
lowed by the country code, then the area code and the
phone number.
•
To enter the (+) sign, press and hold 0.
•
Omit any leading zero in the area code.
Entering Characters
In the phone book you can accompany any number you
store with a name. To enter the characters in the name,
follow the instructions below.
l
Press the appropriate key, 1–9, 0 or #,
repeatedly until the desired character appears in
the display.
Press
to enter the menu system. See inside the cover.

To Store a Number With a Tone Signal
Code
To use telephone banking services or control a phone
answering machine, you will need to use codes. These
codes are sent as tone signals (also called DTMF tones
or touch tones).
If you want to save the phone number in the Phone
Book with the codes:
Follow the instructions on how to store a phone
number until you enter the number.
After entering the phone number, press and
hold the * key until the pause character ‘p’
appears.
Enter the code.
If needed, insert another pause, another code
and so on.
Continue following the instructions on how to
store a phone number.
To make a call with tone signal codes, proceed as
described in ‘Making and Receiving Calls’. When you
make the call, the phone dials the number, waits until
the call is answered and then sends the code. If you in-
serted another pause and another code, it will pause
again, send the next code and so on.
Recalling a Phone Number
The Speed Dialling Facility
You can call the phone numbers that you store in the
positions 1–9 in the card memory by entering the posi-
tion number and then pressing YES. Therefore, you
should save positions 1–9 for important numbers.
For example:
If you want to call John, whose number is stored in posi-
tion 3 in the card memory:
Enter the digit 3.
Press YES.
To Recall a Phone Number Using the
Name
From the ‘Phone book’ menu, select ‘Name
recall’.
Enter the name you want to recall (or the first
letters of it) using the numeric keys as
described above.
You do not have to enter the entire name; the
first few letters will do. The phone matches the
letters with existing names in its memory.
Press YES.
The best match between the letters you entered
and the names in the Phone Book is displayed.
You can also see the storage position in
brackets.

Sending and Receiving Text Messages
A very convenient feature of your Ericsson S 868 is the
Short Message Service (SMS). This allows you to send
and receive text messages consisting of up to 160
characters.
Using the Short Message Service, you do not have to
worry about whether the people you want to reach
check their answering machines or not. As soon as they
turn on their phone, the message will be waiting for
them.
Text messages can be received when the phone is in
standby mode, during a call or when incoming calls are
diverted to another phone number. If the recipient’s
phone is turned off when a message is sent, a notifying
message will be displayed soon after the phone is
turned on.
Apart from sending standard messages to phones, your
Ericsson S 868 is also prepared for sending fax
messages (group 3 and 4), X400 messages, e-mails and
telexes, via the Short Message Service. Check with your
network operator which message types you can use
and how.
Note!
The Short Message Service may not be available in all
networks.
Two Memories
The Messages Memory
If you do not want to read an incoming message at
once, it is automatically stored in the Messages
memory in the phone. This allows you to read it later
on.
If there are any unread incoming messages in the
messages memory, a letter icon (Mm) will appear to the
left at the bottom of the display.
The Messages memory can hold up to 10 messages.
When all memory positions are full, the oldest read
message will be overwritten when a new message is re-
ceived.
If the Messages memory becomes full with unread
messages, new messages will automatically be stored
in the SIM card memory. If the SIM card memory
becomes full, the letter icon (Mm) starts blinking.
Messages remain in the Messages memory until you
erase them (see ‘Erasing a Message,), until you insert a
different SIM card, or until the telephone needs the
memory space to store new messages
The SIM Card Memory
If you receive an important message and want to make
sure it is not erased from the messages memory, you
can store it in a memory on your SIM card. This means
that you can retrieve the message regardless of which
phone you use. Messages that are saved in the SIM card
memory remain there until you erase them.
If the SIM card memory becomes full, the letter icon
(Mm) starts blinking.
Setting the Phone for Text Messaging
If the phone number to your network service centre
cannot be retrieved from your SIM card, you must
specify the number yourself. Otherwise you cannot

Networks
When you turn on the phone, it searches for the last ac-
cessed network. If this is not within range, you may use
another network, provided your home network has an
agreement that allows you to do so. This is called roam-
ing.
The ‘Networks’ menu includes a number of functions
which you can use to determine how the phone
searches for a network. You may also select a network
yourself from those within range.
Search Mode
Automatic Search Mode
The automatic search mode means that when you turn
on your phone, it searches for the last accessed
network. If this is not available, the phone will
automatically search for another available network
within range.
The Automatic search mode is normally the default
setting when you buy your phone. However, if you
need to activate the automatic search mode, do the
following:
Scroll to the ‘Networks’ menu, using the naviga-
tion key, and press YES.
Scroll to ‘Searchmode’.
• If ‘(Auto)’ is visible on the bottom row of the

‘No network’ is displayed.
To Start an Automatic Network Search
An automatic network search can be started at any
time.
l
From the ‘Networks’ menu, select ‘New search’.
The phone automatically starts searching for a network
according to the list of preferred networks stored on
your SIM card.

Fixed Dialling
Fixed Dialling is a way of restricting outgoing calls. It
requires a SIM card that allows fixed numbers to be
stored. The fixed numbers are protected by the PIN2.
•
The Fixed Dialling function allows calls to be made
only to fixed numbers stored on the SIM card. If an
attempt is made to call other numbers, the mes-
sage ‘Number not permitted’ appears in the dis-
play.
•
It is possible to store partial numbers, for example
an area code, or an area code followed by the first
digits common to several numbers. Storing
0123456 allows calls to be made to numbers from
012345600 to 012345699.
•
Numbers beginning with the international ‘+’ sign
and country code can also be stored, allowing you
to make calls from abroad.
•
Numbers including question marks can be stored.
For example, storing 01234567?0 allows calls to
be made to numbers ending with a zero from
0123456700 to 0123456790. To enter a question
mark hold down #.
•
The Fixed Dialling function does not prohibit calls
to the international emergency number 112 and
the Service Centre of your network operator. Net-
work services such as Call Divert and Call Barring
cannot be used.
•
The maximum fixed numbers that can be stored
depends on your SIM card.
To Activate Fixed Dialling
From the ‘Access’ menu, select ‘Fixed dial’.
Enter the PIN2 and press YES.
Scroll to ‘On’, using the navigation key, and
press YES.

in the same way as when storing an ordinary
phone number.
To Edit a Stored Fixed Number
From the ‘Phone book’ menu, select ‘Fixed
numbers’.

Diverting Incoming Calls
If you want to make certain that your incoming calls are
taken care of when you are unable to answer them, you
can use the Call Divert service to divert them to another
phone number.
The Call Divert service lets you:
•
divert calls if you are already on the phone.
•
divert calls that you do not answer within a
specified time limit (operator dependent).
•
divert calls if your phone is turned off or if you are
unreachable
•
divert all incoming calls.
You can also use any combination of the above.
The divert option ‘All calls’ means that all incoming
calls will be diverted to a number specified by you. If
you choose to divert all calls, an arrow (l) is shown in
the display.
Note!
If you activate the ‘All calls’ divert, all other diverts will
automatically be cancelled. They will, however, be acti-
vated again when you cancel the ‘All calls’ divert.

it, the phone number to which the calls were diverted
will be suggested. Press CLR if you want to erase this
number and enter a new one.
There may be a short delay before the network
responds. In the meantime, the message ‘Please wait’ is
displayed. This is followed by the message ‘On busy’,
‘All calls’ or ‘No reply’ – ‘Divert ON’, depending on which
divert option you choose. The selected phone number
is also displayed.
The display informs you of any activated call divert
each time you turn the phone on.
Diverting when the Data Menus are On
If you have turned on the ‘Data menus’, you can set call
diverts
for
your
phone,
fax

Handsfree Calling
By using the Ericsson portable or vehicle handsfree
solutions, you can be on the phone without having to
use your hands to hold it.
The S 868 allows you to change the default settings for
the handsfree-related functions so that they fit your
own requirements.
Selecting Answering Mode
The
submenu
‘Answering
mode’
includes
two
functions: ‘Any key’ and ‘Auto’, which are useful when
you use the phone with handsfree equipment.
•
The ‘Any key’ function:
If you use the phone with handsfree equipment
and this function is turned on, you can answer an
incoming call by pressing any key, except the NO
key.
•
The ‘Auto’ function:
If you choose the automatic answering mode, an
incoming call will be answered automatically after
one ring signal, if the phone is used with hands-
free equipment.
To select Answering Mode:
From the ‘Settings’ menu, select ‘Answering
mode’.
Choose ‘Any key’ or ‘Auto’, using the navigation

•
‘Light’
Each of these settings can be specified separately when
you have your S 868 connected to handsfree equip-
ment and when you use the phone as a handheld unit.

the phone is connected to handsfree equipment, the
settings when it is handheld are not affected and vice
versa.

changing the key sound or changing the message
signal, among other things.
This chapter contains all the information you need to
get that little extra out of your phone.
Personal Settings
The ‘Settings’ menu includes a number of functions

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
General
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
When the phone is turned on, it receives and transmits
radio frequency (RF) energy. Depending on the type of
mobile phone you have bought, it operates in different
frequency ranges and employs commonly used modu-
lation techniques. The system that handles your call
when you are using your phone, controls the power
level at which your phone transmits.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radia-
tion Protection (ICNIRP), sponsored by the World Health
Organization (WHO), published a statement in 1996
which sets limits for exposure to RF fields from hand-
held mobile phones. According to this statement,
which is based on the available body of research, there
is no evidence that mobile terminals meeting the rec-
ommended limits can cause any adverse health effects.
All Ericsson telephones conform to the ICNIRP recom-
mendations and international exposure standards,
such as:
•
CENELEC European Pre-standard ENV50166-2
•
ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 (USA, Asia-Pacific)
If you want to limit RF exposure even further, you may
choose to control the duration of your calls and operate
your phone in the most power efficient manner.
Efficient Phone Operation
How to use your phone for optimum performance with
minimum power consumption:
•
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone.
While speaking directly into the mouthpiece, angle
the antenna in a direction up and over your shoul-
der. If the antenna is extendable/retractable, it
should be extended during a call.
•
Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in
use. Holding the antenna affects call quality, may
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level
than needed and shorten talk and standby times.
Antenna Care and Replacement
•
Do not bend the antenna since it is sensitive and
this will reduce its performance.
•
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.
Take your phone to a qualified service centre for
repair. Use only the designated Ericsson antenna.
•
Do not use an antenna designed for any other
type of telephone than the one you have bought.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attach-
ments could damage the phone and may violate
the appropriate regulations.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of tele-
phones in the areas where you drive.
Press
to enter the menu system. See inside the cover.
51
Not for Commercial Use
Ericsson Mobile Communications AB
If you are going to use your mobile phone while driv-
ing:
•
Give full attention to driving.
•
Use handsfree operation, if available.
•
Pull off the road and park before making or an-
swering a call if driving conditions so require.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor
vehicles. In addition, some vehicle manufacturers for-
bid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles. Check
with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to be
sure your phone will not affect the electronic systems
of your vehicle.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment, for example equip-
ment in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF energy.
However, RF energy from telephones may affect some
electronic equipment.
Turn off your phone in health care facilities when
regulations posted in the areas instruct you to do so.
Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment
without requesting permission.
Mobile telephones may affect the operation of some im-
planted cardiac pacemakers, equipment for people
with hearing impairments and other medically im-
planted equipment. Pacemaker patients should be
aware that the use of a mobile phone very close to a
pacemaker may cause the device to malfunction. Avoid
placing the phone over the pacemaker, i.e. in your
breast pocket. When using the phone, place it at your
ear opposite the pacemaker. If a minimum distance of
15 cm is kept between the phone and the pacemaker,
the risk of interference is limited. Contact your cardi-
ologist for more information.
Aircraft
•
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft.
•
Do not use it on the ground without crew permis-
sion.
To prevent interference with communication systems,
you must not use your phone while the plane is in the
air.
Power Supply
•
Connect AC (Power supply) only to designated
power sources as marked on the product.
•
To reduce risk of damage to the electric cord, re-
move it from the outlet by holding onto the AC
adapter rather than the cord.
•
Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
•
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit
from any power source before attempting any
cleaning, then use a soft, damp cloth.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your phone since
they could hurt themselves or others or accidentally
damage the phone.
Blasting Areas
Turn off your mobile phone when in a blasting area or
in areas posted ‘turn off two-way radio’ to avoid inter-
fering with blasting operations. Construction crews of-
ten use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your phone when in any area with a poten-
tially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone
or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bod-
ily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are of-
ten, but not always, clearly marked. They include fuel-
ling areas, such as petrol stations, below deck on boats,
fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or ex-
plosives in the compartment of your vehicle which con-
tains your phone and accessories.
Product Care
•
Do not expose your mobile phone to moisture or
extreme temperatures.
•
Do not use any other accessories than Ericsson
originals. Failure to do so may result in loss of per-
formance, fire, electric shock or injury, and will
void the warranty.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble the product. Doing
so will void warranty. This product does not con-
tain consumer serviceable components. Service
should only be performed by Authorized Service
Centres.
