activate the offline profile, the connection to the

wireless network is turned off, as indicated by in

the signal strength indicator area. All wireless RF

signals to and from the device are prevented. If you

try to send messages, they are placed in the outbox

to be sent later.
When the offline profile is active, you can use your

device without a SIM card.

Important: In the offline profile you cannot

make or receive any calls, or use other features that

require cellular network coverage. Calls may still be

possible to the official emergency number

programmed into your device. To make calls, you

must first activate the phone function by changing

profiles. If the device has been locked, enter the lock

code.
When you have activated the offline profile, you can

still use the wireless LAN, for example, to read your

e-mail or browse on the internet. Remember to

comply with any applicable safety requirements

when establishing and using a wireless LAN

connection. You can also use Bluetooth connectivity

while in the offline profile.
To leave the offline profile, press the power key

briefly, and select another profile. The device re-

enables wireless transmissions (providing there is

sufficient signal strength).
