the service area, or the call is abandoned before
the party responds), the system may reject a
request to make a call to the phone number. Turn off the cellular phone and turn it on again to

unavailable. Some models of a cellular phone do not switch
to the hands-free mode when they are operated
to make a call. This is not a malfunction. Make another call using the
hands-free function.

shown on the cellular phone screen. Use them as a
reference.
