Getting Started

Completely charge your phone before using it for the first time. When the charge is complete, the LED will display a green light. To turn your device on, press and hold the "End" key until the power-on logo appears. This key also turns the unit off.
To place a call, slide the phone keypad down, enter the phone number and then press the green "call" button. To place from the phonebook, press the right soft key under the word "Contacts" on the home screen. Select your contact and press "OK." Select the phone number that you want to call and press "OK" or "Call."
You can also make calls from your call-history lists. From the home screen, press "Start" and select "Call History" using the navigation keys. Select the appropriate name or phone number to call and press the "Call" button.
Answering Your Phone
Answer incoming calls by pressing the "Send" key or the soft key with the word "Answer" above it. You can answer a second incoming call by pressing the "Send" key or the "Answer" soft key. Switch between two calls by pressing the "Swap" soft key. End the second call by selecting the "End" key.
You can also set your phone to pick up calls when you press any key. At the home screen press "Start," then "Settings," then "Phone," and then "Call Options." Select "Any Key Answer" and press "OK" to save the changes.
Pair Your Bluetooth Device
Before you can use your wireless Bluetooth device with the Pantech Duo, the two devices must be "paired" to each other. From the home screen select "Start" and then "Settings." Click on "Connections" and then select "Bluetooth." Select "Turn on Visibility" and then click "Done." Follow your headset's pairing instructions to complete the pairing process.

To type consecutive special characters or numbers, use the FN-Lock mode by holding the "FN" button for two seconds. Deactivate the lock mode by holding the "FN" key for two seconds.
