simply by connecting a headset. Use only approved headsets
with the AirCard 555. (See the Sierra Wireless web site,

of the AirCard next to the

• The volume controls allow you to adjust the loudness of
what you hear.

that you cannot be heard.

dialed number.
• The Any-Key Answer feature allows you to answer an
incoming call by pressing any button on the dial pad
except
END, CLR, or the volume controls. On the Pocket

configured in the Options
window. See page 156.
