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. 1

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. 3

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. 5

• 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.

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. 15

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 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.

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 (
) 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 (
) 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
(
) 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

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
display, your phone is already set to Auto-
matic search mode.
• If ‘(Auto)’ is not visible, press
YES.
Scroll to ‘Auto’ and press YES. The phone is now
set to Automatic search mode.
To return to standby mode, press CLR.
Note! The order of preference in which the phone selects a
network is determined by a list of preferred networks
on your SIM card, which you can edit at any time.
Manual Search Mode
The manual search mode means that when you turn on
your phone, it searches for the last accessed network .
If this is not available, the question ‘Select network?’ ap-
pears.
To activate the manual search mode, do the following:
From the ‘Networks’ menu, select ‘Searchmode’
and press YES.
Scroll to ‘Manual’ and press YES.
To return to standby mode, press CLR.
To select a network, see below.
Selecting a Network

press YES to select it.
Note! Together with the network name, you also get the
following information in the display:
• If the home network is within range and you are
using it when you start your network selection,
the name of the network is displayed with the

• If you are using another network and your home
network is available, the name of the home net-
work is displayed with the message ‘Home’.

work, an abbreviation is displayed when you use
the ‘Networks’ menu. To see the full name of a
network, press
.
• If the home network is not within range, the name
of another network is displayed with the message
‘Current’, ‘Preferred’, ‘Available’ or ‘Forbidden’.

included in a list of preferred networks on your
SIM card.

is included in a list of forbidden networks on your
SIM card and that you are not allowed to use it.
You can, however, make emergency calls.
– ‘Available’ means that there is a network within
range, which is not on either the forbidden or
preferred list on your SIM card.

‘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.
Forbidden Networks
The names of the forbidden networks are stored on
your SIM card. If such a forbidden network is within
range, it will be omitted when the phone searches for a
network (automatic search mode).
If your home network and a forbidden network come to
an agreement that allows you to use the forbidden net-
work, you can select this network even though the
message ‘Forbidden’ is displayed.
List of Preferred Networks
You can create a list that defines in which order your
phone will select a network during automatic network
selection, when your home network is not within range.
The number of networks that can be stored in the list
depends on your SIM card.

the list. Apart from rearranging the order of the net-
works, you can add new networks to the list and delete
networks from it.
