R290 User’s Guide  
• Do not remove the antenna yourself. If your phone’s antenna is  
damaged please take it to a Certified Service Partner.  
• Unauthorised antenna modifications, or attachments could damage the  
phone and may violate the appropriate regulations causing loss of  
performance and radio frequency (RF) energy above the  
recommended limits.  
Safety Instructions  
Product Care and Maintenance  
Your mobile phone is a highly sophisticated electronic device. To get the  
most out of your mobile phone read this text about product care, safe and  
efficient use.  
Efficient Phone Operation  
To enjoy optimum performance with minimum power consumption  
please:  
Product care  
• Keep your mobile phone dry.  
• 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 shoulder. If the Globalstar antenna is deployed, it should be  
vertical during a call.  
• Avoid exposing your mobile phone to extreme hot or cold  
temperatures.  
• Avoid placing your mobile phone close to lit candles, cigarettes, naked  
flames or any heat source.  
• 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.  
• As with all sophisticated electronic devices rough treatment could  
damage your mobile phone.  
• Only use a soft damp cloth to clean your mobile phone.  
• Do not paint your mobile phone as the paint could obstruct the  
earphone, microphone or any moveable parts and prevent normal use.  
• Do not attempt to disassemble your mobile phone, a broken warranty  
seal will void the warranty. The phone does not contain consumer  
serviceable components. Service should only be performed by  
Certified Service Partners.  
• Only use Ericsson original accessories. Failure to do so may result in  
loss of performance, damage to the phone, fire, electric shock or  
injury, and will void the warranty.  
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 possess, it operates on  
different frequency ranges and employs commonly used modulation  
techniques. The system that handles your call when you are using your  
phone controls the power level at which your phone transmits.  
• Treat your mobile phone with care, keep it in a clean and dust free  
place.  
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Energy  
Antenna Care  
• To avoid impaired performance please ensure your mobile phone’s  
antenna is not bent or damaged.  
The International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection  
(ICNIRP), supported by the World Health Organisation (WHO),  
published during 1996 a statement and in 1998 guidelines which set  
i
R290 User’s Guide  
recommended limits for exposure to RF fields from handheld mobile  
telephones. According to ICNIRP statement, which is based on the  
available body of research, there is no evidence that mobile terminals  
meeting the recommended limits can cause any adverse health effects. All  
Ericsson telephones conform to the ICNIRP guidelines and other  
international exposure standards, such as:  
the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is  
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.  
Electronic Devices  
Most modern electronic equipment, for example equipment in hospitals  
and cars, is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic  
equipment is not, therefore:  
• CENELEC European Pre-standard ENV50166-2:1995 (Europe)  
• ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 (USA, Asia-Pacific)  
• AS2772.1 – 1990/NZS 6609.1:1990, Amdt. No.1 (Australia, New  
Zealand)  
Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without  
requesting permission.  
Mobile phones may affect the operation of some implanted cardiac  
pacemakers and other medically implanted equipment. Pacemaker  
patients should be aware that the use of a mobile phone very close to a  
pacemaker might 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. If you have any reason to suspect that interference  
is taking place, immediately turn off your phone. Contact your  
cardiologist for more information.  
Driving  
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the areas  
where you drive. If you are going to use your phone while driving,  
please:  
• Give full attention to driving.  
• Use an Ericsson Vehicle Handsfree Solution, if available. Law in  
many countries requires vehicle Handsfree Solution. Read the  
installation instructions carefully before installing a vehicle Handsfree  
Solution.  
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving  
conditions so require.  
Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones. In the event of  
such disturbance, you may want to consult your service provider, or call  
the customer service line to discuss alternatives.  
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles such as  
car stereo, safety equipment etc. In addition, some vehicle manufacturers  
do not allow use of mobile phones, unless the installation is supported by  
a handsfree kit with an external antenna, in their vehicles. Check with  
your vehicle manufacturer's representative to be sure that your mobile  
phone will not affect the electronic systems in your vehicle.  
Aircraft  
• Turn off your mobile phone before boarding any aircraft.  
• Do not use it on the ground without crew permission.  
To prevent interference with communication systems, you must not use  
your mobile phone while the plane is in the air.  
Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag  
Blasting Areas  
Turn off your mobile phone when in a blasting area or in areas posted  
“turn off two-way radio” to avoid interfering with blasting operations.  
An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including either  
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in  
ii  
R290 User’s Guide  
Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off  
explosives.  
Emergency Calls  
IMPORTANT!  
This phone, like any mobile phone, operates using radio signals, cellular,  
satellite and landline networks as well as user-programmed functions,  
which cannot guarantee connection under all conditions. Therefore you  
should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential  
communications (e.g. medical emergencies).  
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres  
Turn off your mobile phone when in any area with a potentially 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  
bodily injury or even death.  
Remember, in order to make or receive calls the phone must be switched  
on and in a service area with adequate signal strength. Emergency calls  
may not be possible on the satellite or on all cellular phone networks, or  
when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check  
with your local service provider.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,  
clearly marked. They include fuelling 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 explosives in the  
compartment of your vehicle, which contains your mobile phone and  
accessories.  
Battery Information  
New Batteries  
The battery supplied with your phone is not fully charged.  
Power Supply  
• Connect AC (Power supply) only to designated power sources as  
marked on the product.  
Battery Use and Care  
A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated properly. A new  
battery, or one that has not been used for a long period of time could have  
reduced capacity the first few times it is being used.  
• To reduce risk of damage to the electric cord, remove it from the outlet  
by holding onto the AC adapter rather than the cord.  
• Make sure the cord is positioned 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 to clean it.  
• The talk and standby times depend on the actual transmission  
conditions when using the phone.  
• Use only Ericcson original batteries and the AC/DC adapter supplied  
with your battery charger. Using non original Ericsson accessories  
could be dangerous and will void your phone warranty.  
• Do not expose your battery to extreme temperatures, never above +  
140 degrees F (+60 degrees C). For maximum battery capacity use  
your battery at room temperature. If the battery is used in cold  
temepatures the battery capacity will be reduced.  
• The charger must not be used outdoors or in damp areas.  
Children  
Do not allow children to play with your mobile phone since it contains  
small parts that could become detached and create a choking hazard.  
iii  
R290 User’s Guide  
• The battery can only be charged when the temperature is between 41  
degrees F (+5 degrees C) and + 113 degrees F (+ 45 degrees C).  
• Turn off your phone before removing the battery.  
• Do not attempt to take a battery apart.  
• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch another metal object.  
This could short-circuit and damage the battery.  
• Do not expose a battery to open flames. This could cause the battery to  
explode.  
Please note!  
Some of the services mentioned in this manual are not supported by all  
networks or by all service agreements. This also applies to the  
International Emergency Number 112.  
Please contact your network operator or service provider if you are in  
doubt whether you can use a particular service or not.  
• Do not expose a battery to liquid.  
• Do not use the battery pack if it shows signs of rust, overheating,  
leakage or changes in colour or shape.  
• Do not puncture the battery pack or expose it to strong shock.  
• Do only use the battery for the intended purpose.  
• Do not allow the battery to be placed into the mouth. Battery  
electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.

• GSM mode - providing reliable, less expensive cellular service when  
available.  
Your mobile phone sets a new standard for others to follow while meeting  
the highest standards for durability, service and sound. It comes packed  
with features that help you stay in touch with the world.  
Introduction  
Thank you for choosing the R290 satellite/cellular phone, the  
revolutionary mobile phone that helps you keep in touch with the rest of  
the world. Read this handbook thoroughly to use your phone safely and  
correctly.  
This guide introduces you to your phone and shows you how to get the  
most out of it.  
The R290 hand-held satellite/cellular phone, hereafter throughout this  
manual referred to as “your phone”, literally puts the world at your  
fingertips. Yet, the technology built into the phone allows you to receive  
and send phone calls from remote areas of the world where there are no  
landline telephone systems or cellular services. When you make a call  
your phone transmits a signal to a constellation of 48 satellites, in orbit  
1414 kilometers (900 miles) above Earth. Call signals are sent back to  
earth through regional gateways and enter landlines to your service  
provider who forwards the signal to the number you dialled. This simple  
method of reflecting signals to and from the Globalstar satellites ensures  
that Globalstar offers a seamless, dependable network with consistent  
high-quality phone transmission worldwide.  
NOTE:  
Some features and menus are operator dependent  
Your phone is designed to roam remote areas of the world with you,  
whether you are travelling for international business, for pleasure, or in  
an emergency situation. Your phone will be a valuable communication  
tool whether you are a vacationer on holiday, a world business traveller,  
or a member of a geological survey, disaster relief, or search and rescue  
team. Whether you are a scientist, an explorer, or a retired person living  
out your dream of travelling around the world, you are no longer limited  
by ordinary telecommunication systems which may be inconvenient or  
out of reach.  
Your phone operates in two modes:  
• Globalstar mode - allowing you to place satellite calls from remote  
areas.  
1
R290 User’s Guide  
Your PIN  
About Your Phone  
Your operator will provide you with a security code or Personal Identity  
Number (PIN) when you receive your SIM card. This number allows you  
to access the network. The first time you turn on your phone you are  
prompted to enter your PIN (if the PIN is activated.) Your PIN may also  
be required when you change settings in your phone. Some services  
require a second PIN, the PIN2.  
Globalstar/GSM 900  
The R290 phone operates in either Globalstar satellite or GSM 900  
cellular mode.  
Operators & Subscriptions  
Enter your PIN carefully. If you enter your PIN incorrectly three times in  
succession, the SIM card will be blocked. If this happens you can unlock  
it by using a Personal Unblocking Key (PUK) code. Contact your  
operator to obtain this code. See “Unblocking with Personal Unblocking  
Key (PUK)” on page 40.  
Before you can use your phone you must obtain a dual-mode subscription  
to a network. The services included in your dual mode 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. For a complete list of the services included in your  
subscription, please contact your service provider.  
Store your PIN in a safe place. It is your protection against unauthorized  
use of your phone. Do not write it on your phone or place it where  
someone might see it.  
SIM Card  
You will receive a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card with your  
subscription. The SIM card must be a dual mode SIM card in order for  
your phone to operate in both GSM and Satellite modes.  
The SIM card contains a computer chip that keeps track of your phone  
number, the services you ordered from your service provider and your  
Phone Book information, among other things.  
NOTE:  
If a single mode SIM is inserted the phone will not work unless it is set to  
operate in that mode, i.e. GSM only or Satellite only, see “Mode Switch”  
on page 11.

2. Slide the SIM card into the holder as shown (1).  
Preparing Your Phone for Use  
Before you can use your phone for the first time you must install the SIM  
card (if it is not already installed), install and charge the battery, and set  
default parameters for the phone and networks.  
The SIM Card  
When you register as a subscriber with a network service, you receive a  
dual-mode SIM card. The SIM card stores information about your phone  
number and your subscription, among other things. If you purchased your  
phone from your service provider your SIM card may already be  
installed. If not, you must install it before you can use your phone. SIM  
cards come in two sizes. One is the size of a credit card, and the other is  
about the size of a postage stamp. The R290 uses the smaller card. Many  
networks provide a credit card size card with a small SIM card that you  
can remove.  
3. Gently press down on the SIM card and slide under the lugs until the  
top edge of the card clicks into place (2).  
Operating Without a SIM Card  
When operating in GSM mode, you can make emergency calls on your  
R290 phone without a SIM card by dialling 112 or an alternate  
emergency number, see “Making an Emergency Call” on page 14. This  
service is not supported by all network operators. You cannot access  
satellite mode related services without a SIM card.  
Inserting the SIM Card  
To insert the SIM card, remove the battery (if attached) then:  
1. Hold the SIM card with the angled corner at the top left position.  
4. Refit the battery.  
To remove the SIM card insert your finger nail into the curved cutout at  
the end of the SIM holder and slide the SIM back until it is free.

2. Press the battery forward and press down on the rear of battery until  
you hear a click.  
Operating with a GSM Standard SIM Card  
Your phone will operate in GSM mode with a standard GSM SIM card.  
You can change parameters to override the default satellite parameters.  
This allows you to set your personal preferences for use in GSM  
networks.  
Enhanced SIM  
Your phone will operate with an enhanced SIM but many of the addition  
features of the SIM will not be available.  
The Battery  
Your mobile phone comes with a Lithium Ion (Li-ion) battery. The  
battery is not fully charged when purchased, but there may be enough  
power to turn on the phone.  
Removing the Battery  
Make sure that the phone is turned off before removing the battery, then:  
Attaching the Battery to the Phone:  
1. Place the battery on the back of the phone as shown.  
1. Press the battery release button.  
2. Lift the battery up and away from the phone.  
Low battery indication  
When the battery is running low, the message Battery Low will flash on  
the display and the LOW BATTERY WARNING TONE will be played.  
When the battery is nearly empty, the phone will shut down.  
Charging the Battery  
Follow these steps to connect the charger to the power socket and to the  
phone;

R290 User’s Guide  
When the battery is fully charged, the battery meter in the display shows  
full and the indicator on top of the phone show a steady green light.  
The Antenna  
Your phone is equipped with two antennas, a satellite communication  
antenna folded on the left side and an internal GSM antenna.  
It is possible to use the phone while the battery is being charged; however,  
the charging time is increased.  
Deploying the Antenna  
Disconnecting the Charger  
When the phone is used for Satellite communication the antenna must be  
rotated to the appropriate position for either right or left hand operation,  
as shown below. A third position is provided for operation on a flat  
surface with a ‘hands free kit’. Ensure the antenna clicks into position, is  
vertical at all times and has a clear view of the sky when in use.  
1. Disconnect the charger from the electrical socket.  
2. Press the button under the charger plug connected to the phone and  
pull the plug out.  
When to Charge the Battery  
The Lithium Ion (Li-ion) battery that comes with your phone can be  
charged as often or as long as you wish without losing performance. This  
is not the case with the nickel cadmium type batteries, often sold as  
accessories from other suppliers.  
Important! For optimal talk and stand-by time, we recommend that you  
use only Lithium Ion (Li-ion) batteries with your phone.  
When the battery needs charging the following happens:  
• an alarm signal (a long beep) sounds and the message ‘Battery low’  
appears for ten seconds in the display.  
• the indicator light on top of the phone starts blinking red.  
Low Battery Alarm  
You do not need to deploy the antenna to make a GSM call. The GSM  
antenna is internally mounted. Do not hold either 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 stand-  
by times.  
When the battery has discharged, the low battery alarm sounds several  
times, before the phone automatically shuts off. You might be able to turn  
the phone on again, but you will not be able to make or receive any calls  
until the battery is being charged or replaced with a charged one.

R290 User’s Guide  
to operate at a higher power level than needed and shorten talk and stand-  
by times.  
Use with Portable Hands Free (Globalstar Mode)  
Connect the Portable Hands Free unit to the phone. Rotate the antenna to  
the 90 degrees position. Place the phone on a flat level surface with the  
antenna vertical as shown below.  
Turning On the Phone  
1. Press and hold down the PWR key until the display turns on.  
2. Enter your SIM PIN (4 to 8 digits).  
3. Press YES.  
If you entered your PIN correctly, you will receive a welcome message.  
The display will illuminate and the POWER ON TONE will be played. A  
greeting message will appear on the screen. This message can be  
personalised see “Greetings” on page 33.  
NOTE:  
The first time you turn on your phone you will need to enter the PIN (SIM  
lock code) given to you by your service provider. You may change your  
PIN or turn the SIM lock off. See “Card Lock (SIM PIN)” on page 41 for  
instructions. The digits appear as stars (*) in the display. If you make a  
mistake while entering your PIN, erase the digit by pressing the CLR key.  
The phone may be held in the hand if required but the antenna must  
always be vertical when used in Globalstar mode. 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 stand-by times.  
In order to guard against unauthorised use of both the phone and the SIM,  
we strongly recommend that you enable both the phone PIN and the SIM  
PIN. If these are enabled, they will be verified before the phone starts to  
search for a network.  
Use with Mobile Office (Globalstar Mode)  
Connect the Mobile Office data cable to the phone. Rotate the antenna to  
the 90 degrees position. Place the phone on a flat level surface with the  
antenna vertical as shown above. Do not hold the antenna when the phone  
is IN USE. Holding the antenna affects call quality, may cause the phone

Every time you dial a number, it will be stored in the Last Number Dialled  
(LND) store if it does not already exist in the store. Also, every time you  
receive an incoming call, if it contains a Calling Line Identification  
Presentation (CLIP) number, it will be stored in the Last Number  
Received (LNR) store. Every time you receive a call with CLIP and do  
not answer it the number is stored in the Last Number Missed (LNM)  
store.  
Notification that a Call has been

Menu) will be given a message notifying them of the current call state: If  
the ‘Incom’g Call Diverted’ message is displayed, the caller’s phone  
number may also be displayed if it is available (this depends on the  
settings of the phone). You will also hear the RADIO PATH  
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TONE.

About the Phone Book  
You can store phone numbers both on your SIM Card and in your phone’s  
own memory. The difference between the two is you can remove the SIM  
Card and use all those telephone numbers in other phones, while the  
phone’s memory always stays the same no matter which SIM Card is  
inserted.  
You can store up to 99 phone numbers in the phone memory. The number  
of phone numbers you can store on your SIM Card is SIM Card  
dependent.  
International Numbers  
If you intend to use your phone book both at home and abroad, you should  
store all phone numbers as international phone numbers, i.e. with the  
international prefix “+” and the country code before the area code  
(without any leading zero) and the number.  
To enter the “+” prefix, press and hold the zero until you see “+” in the  
display.  
Speed Dialling  
The phone numbers that you store in positions 1– 9 on the SIM Card can  
be called by entering the position number and then pressing YES. You  
should, save positions 1– 9 for important numbers.

• Phone lock.  
• Card lock (SIM).  
The card and phone locks are found in the Security menu and you find the  
keypad lock in the Keylock menu.  
Keypad Lock  
You can lock the keypad so that unintentional key actions have no effect  
if the phone is turned on when you are carrying it in a handbag or pocket.  
The keypad remains locked until you:  
• Answer or reject a call.  
• Unlock the keypad yourself.  
NOTE:  
You can always make the international emergency call 112 when the  
keypad is locked.

set to 0000.  
While the keypad lock is on, emergency calls can be made by pressing 1,

If the phone PIN is enabled, when you switch on the phone, the message  
‘Phone PIN Enabled’ will be displayed. It is strongly recommended that  
you enable the Phone PIN. If you do not like the original number we  
recommend that you change it to one you find easy to remember.  
If an incoming call is received, the backlight operation will be enabled  
and the YES, NO and 0 keys will become operational. You can answer  
the call using YES or reject it using NO, or 0 and YES for User  
Determined User Busy (which allows the diversion of an incoming call to  
be forced to the number that has been registered with the network for call  
forwarding if busy).  
It is important that you remember the phone PIN. Please make a note of  
it somewhere safe, not on the SIM or the phone.  
The phone PIN can only be changed when the MASTER SIM is inserted,  
(the SIM fitted when the phone PIN was first enabled). If a different SIM  
is used, the message ‘Request Rejected’ will be given.

number.  
The alerting tones produced by the alerter can be set to occur once only  
or to repeat once every minute until the message is read or the NO key is  
pressed. In a call, the tones are produced once only to avoid disrupting the  
call.  
Also, if you have had your phone turned off for a while the network will  
keep track of the message and send it to your phone as soon as it is turned  
on.  
Quick access to unread messages  
After a message is received, it is left in the phone’s memory, which works  
similar to a computer’s working memory. The message remains in the  
phone’s memory until you read it. You can even turn off the phone and  
the message will remain intact. If you, on the other hand, change SIM  
Card, you will lose the unread message. This is because messages should  
be personal.  
You can quickly access your unread messages with your phone in stand-  
by mode or even during a call. When Message is on the display and the  
Message Icon is flashing, press SOFT LEFT to view the earliest unread  
message.  
NOTE:  
Normal menu access function is overridden until you have viewed all of  
your unread messages.  
NOTE:  
You need to set the service centre number before you can send any  
messages. If you only want to receive messages, you do not need to do  
anything.  
You can scroll through this message, and all other messages, in the  
normal way. Press NO to return to stand-by or back to the call.  
Checking Subscription  
Call your service provider to see which services your subscription  
supports, or check the service provider’s manual.

service centre. Each message is displayed in groups of four lines or  
“pages”.

have to periodically delete old messages. You can delete messages while  
you are viewing the received messages directory and also while you are
