Your mobile’s appearance and behaviour can be
adjusted to suit children of various ages. The most
important change in operation relates to the use of
the phonebook as a central controlling factor. In use,
the entries within the phonebook allow you to define
an ‘approved’ list of up to twenty contacts. Calls and
text messages may only be accepted from, or made to,
contact numbers that are stored within the phonebook.
Your mobile has two modes of operation:
• Administrator mode, where no restrictions are
placed upon calls or messages, and also where
changes can be made to any aspect of operation.
• Normal mode, where calls and messages are lim-
ited to phonebook contacts and no changes may be
made to important aspects, such as the phonebook.
Precisely which combination of keypad and operation
mode you choose to select for your child is totally
up to you. For a younger child it may be appropriate
to fit the 4 keypad and select normal mode. In time,
they could then graduate to the 12 keypad while still
retaining the normal mode restrictions. For an older
child you may feel that restrictions are unnecessary, in
which case using the 12 keypad in administrator mode
would be suitable.
