Operation description:

1¡¢When "PCG" is started for the very first time£¬it reminds a user the trial period of time and some free services, then it will be pushed to the background automatically (when"Autostart"is set to "ON"). In this case, a user does not manually need to push "PCG" to the background when a phone is booted since a user may not want to manipulate "PCG" in every of the boot. If a user wants to do something using "PCG", he/she may click its icon again to bring "PCG" to the foreground.
A user may also use "ABC" key + "0" key to bring "PCG" to foreground if it is in the background. It provides a quick way to switch to the application. For "QWERTY" keyboard, a user may use "Ctrl" + "S" key combination to bring the application to foreground.

2¡¢Default Action
Firstly, we would like to introduce the "Default Action" since this plays a crucial part of role in our operations. Some users cause confusion just simply because they do not fully understand the functions defined here.
After a user selects "Default Action" in the main screen, the following screens are shown£º



Default Action:
a.Accept all: Accept all the calls. It works a normal, and none of the call will be rejected
b.Reject all: Reject all the calls. A user may send a customized SMS to answer the rejected calls if the call is from a mobile if the number is a mobile number.
c.Accept phonebook: only accept the calls recognized by phonebook. All of call from unknown numbers will be rejected.
d.Reject Blacklist: a user may select a blacklist to reject calls. The call blacklist isdifferent from "Permanent list", which works forever as long as "Reject Blacklist calls" option is on. This list is a dynamic list, and it is enabled only if a user selects it. It provides a way for a user to reject calls dynamically. A user may select to send a customized SMS to answer the incoming call if the number is a mobile number.
e.Reject during period: once this option is selected, a user may define a period of time. When an incoming call falls in the period, the call is automatically rejected. A user may select to send a customized SMS to answer the call if the number is a mobile number.
f.Accept whitelist: only accept the calls from the defined whitelist from "Manage Lists". A user may select to send a customized SMS to answer the incoming call when it is rejected (if the number is a mobile number).
g.Reject all specific: Reject call according to the "Custom Action" defined in the list "Call specific list" from "Manage Lists".
Unknown numbers: only appears when "Accept whitelist" or "Reject all specific" or "Reject Blacklist" is selected. If it is "Reject", all of the unrecognized calls will be rejected!
Send SMS when reject: if it is off, then nothing will happen; if it is on, then a customized SMS will be sent out when call is rejected.
SMS active template: defines the template for sending SMS when an incoming call is rejected provided the number is a mobile number.
Reject start date: defines the start date of call rejection.
Reject start time: defines the start time of call rejection.
Reject end date: defines the end date of call rejection.
Reject end time: defines the end time of call rejection.
When a call comes, its name OR number will be matched with the ones defined in the lists. Should either of them is matched, the corresponding action will be taken. In this case, even a number is not defined in the list, however, if the caller's name matches with the one defined in the list, then the corresponding action defined will be taken. When this item is set to "Reject all", and if the phone call is from of the callers defined in the "Baby list", then after the call is rejected, a small phone call icon will appear at the top-left corner of the screen, and it will keep blinking until the user has entered "Call records" or "Manage SMS" window.

3£®Active mode
Reject blacklist calls

When this option is "On", all of the incoming calls from the "Permanent Blacklist" will be automatically rejected no matter whatever the case is (regardless of the setting in "Default Action"). A user man use "Manage Lists" to add/remove the names from the "Call Blacklist". In addition, "Call Blacklist"is a predefined list in "PCG" and it should not be re-defined by a user.

Delete Blacklist SMS


When this option is "ON", all of the incoming SMS messages from "SMS Blacklist" will be automatically removed. Similarly, "SMS Blacklist" is also a predefined in "PCG", and a user should not redefine it. This function is applicable to the situation when a user does not want to receive the harass messages or unwanted advertisement messages. A user may use "Manage Lists" to manage the "SMS Blacklist".

Personal info protection


"Personal information Protection" has two switches "ON" and "OFF". If is "OFF", it means that "PCG" will not process anything for the incoming calls and SMS even it is running. Nevertheless, "PCG" can still help us to manage our SMS (for example, a user may still make the short messages in the Inbox/Sent visible or invisible). If this switch is "ON", "PCG" will provide powerful filter functions for our phone call record log (missed calls/dialed calls/answered calls) and SMS if it is running. For some of the personal information (like incoming SMS and missed call records) that a user does not want to share with others, "PCG" can help us to hide those information from others.
Please be noted that a blinking small "mobile phone icon" on the top-lest corner of the screen indicates either there is an unread SMS or missed call from any of the members in the "Baby list". After the user has entered either "Manage SMS" or "Call records" area, the blinking will be automatically stopped!
A user can use "Manage Lists" to create the needed name list that "PCG" can help to manage for us. As indicated, "Baby list" can ONLY be renamed, but it cannot be removed. The information inside "Baby list" is protected by password. When "Personal information protection" is enabled, all of the incoming calls and SMS will be filtered by "PCG" automatically!
A user can use "Protection password" to modify our password. The default password is "123¡±. When a user modifies password for the very first time, it shows:

The user needs to input the new password. When a user modifies the password for the second time, then he/she needs to supply the correct "Old password" before making a successful change.


If the input old password does not match with the old password, modification will not be successful. Should a user lose his/her password, all of the hidden short messages are still there. The user needs to reinstall "PCG" to view all of the hidden messages. Of course, the default password is "123¡± again.
Note: the password defined here also applies to the encryption/decryption in "File security". Meanwhile, it also applies to the encryption/decryption in "Audio messages". After a user has changed the password, then all of the encrypted files will not be able to be decrypted any more unless the password is reversed back to the previous one.
It is strongly recommended that a user should decrypt all of the encrypted files before changing his/her password. After that, the user uses the new password to do the encryption again for the interested files.

Call Log duration

A user may define how long he/she wants to keep the phone call records. If this option is not provided, then the final log file will become bigger and bigger.
If a user chooses "0" day, then it means that "PCG" will not keep any of the phone records for the names defined in "Baby list".

Hotkey function

When this function is "ON", then a user may use "ABC¡± key (on which has a pen icon) and ¡°+¡± key (or "Ctrl¡± + ¡°A¡± for those phones with "QWERTY" keyboard layout£©to activate key ock or voice recording in any of the screens¡£
A user may also use "ABC" key + "0" key to bring "PCG" to foreground if it is in the background. It provides a quick way to switch to the application. For "QWERTY" keyboard, a user may use "Ctrl" + "S" key combination to bring the application to foreground.
If this key combination conflicts with some of the other applications, a user may disable the functions by setting this option to "OFF".

Autolock function

A user may set a time interval. When this function is set to "ON", within the defined period of time, keyboard is not used, the "PCG" will help to lock the keyboard automatically. A user may use the normal way to unlock the key.

Shown in tasklist

When this option is "ON", the icon of "PCG" will be shown in the S60 task list. A user may have long key press of the "Function key" to view the task list of the currently running applications in the phone. Of course, the user may switch to "PCG" using this method. When this option is set to "OFF", the icon of "PCG" will not be shown in the task list. As such, "PCG" works like an integrated system service running in the background. In order to switch to the "PCG" application, a user has to click the icon of "PCG" again. If a user does not want to have many applications listed in the task list, then he/she needs to turn off this option. Meanwhile, it is good to move the application icon to the "Menu" folder for quick access.
When this option is "Off", then it could be difficult for a user to switch to "PCG" when it is running in the background. In this case, it is recommended to refer to section 9 in this manual, detailing how to move the icon of "PCG" to the "Menu" folder.

Show phone icon

When this option is set to "On", as shown in above, a small phone icon indicated with a red circle will be shown on the top-left corner of the screen no matter whether "PCG" is currently running in the background or in the foreground. This is a flag, indicating the running of "PCG". Of course, some users may not like to have it on there all the time (for example, when they play games) since it always occupies a small space in the screen. If this is the case, a user may choose to turn this option off.

Autostart

When this option is "On", "PCG" will be automatically started once the phone is booted. Meanwhile, "PCG" will be automatically pushed to background. As such as use does not need to start this application after the phone is booted and also the user does not need to manually push it to background if it has nothing to do at the start-up.
If this option is set to "Off", then "PCG" will not be automatically started, and it will not be automatically pushed to background as well.


4¡¢Manage Lists

"PCG"has already preset some name lists for us. As indicated in the above picture, a "Permanent List", a "Call Blacklist" a "SMS Blacklist", a "Call Whitelist", a "Call Specific list" and a "Baby list" have already been preset for us. All of the names of the list can be renamed. A user may use "Create" menu item to create one or more lists.
Please be noted: Baby list"can ONLY be renamed, and a user can never remove it. In order to see the list, a user needs to input the correct password. As such, the user's privacy is protected! An "OK" key press will enter the needed name list!

After a name list has been established, a user can Delete/Rename/Edit it as well. When a new name list has been firstly created, the list is empty. A user may use "From Phonebook" to import contacts from phonebook/Contacts. This is the recommended way to add new names to the name lists.

A user may select the needed names from the phone book to add into the selected name list. A user also can use "Delete" or "C" key to delete the unwanted names in the list.
Meanwhile, the user can also edit the name in the list box by pressing "OK" key:

If the user selects "Reply by SMS", then any incoming call will be hung up, and a customized SMS will be sent out instead.
Please be noted: that all of the personalized call rejection only works when "Default Reject action" is set to "Up to active mode", and "Active mode" is set to "Reject all specific". This setting ONLY works for this specific person "t" as shown in the picture. For other people not in the list, then it shall have not effect! This works for the situation when a user wants to reject incoming calls differently according to different callers.

One the lists have been constructed, then a user may use them in the "Active mode" to select them for different use in different situations.


5¡¢SMS template

As shown in the above pictures, there are 4 SMS templates. A user may create his/her own favorite SMS templates himself/herself by using the menu item "New?"

A user may also choose "Rename" to rename an SMS template. Choosing "Edit" or pressing "OK" can view/edit the current SMS template. A user may use "Delete" to delete those unwanted SMS template.
Once the SMS template has been set up, then they can be used in the "Default Action". As for the detailed operation, please refer to section 2 in this manual.


6¡¢Audio messages
After a user has selected "Audio messages"£¬the following picture will be shown£º

This window shows all of the recorded files using S60 "Recorder" application. After a user has used phone call voice recording during an established call, the user may view the recorded file here. A user may use "Record"to record voice:

A user may also choose the voice files to encrypt/decrypt. Once the file has been encrypted, no one can play your recorded voice data unless it has been decrypted with the correct password.

Please be noted that the password used here is the one defined in "Protection password" in "Active Mode". Once a file has been encrypted, a "+¡± character will be added to the end of the file automatically. The file name for the decryption will be the one without "+¡± . If the file name has already existed in the file folder, then "PCG" will remind the user a new file name for the output.
The default content of the window is decided by the "Setting" in the S60 "Recorder". If the "Memory in use" option is set to "Phone memory", then the window will show all of the recorded audio files in "Phone memory". If the user wants to view the files in "Memory card", then user must select the menu item "Show E Drive".




7¡¢Manage SMS
After a user has selected "Manage SMS"£¬the following screen will be shown:

As shown in the above picture, this is a protected area. A user must input the correct password in order to access the function. After a user has input the correct password (defined by the "Protection password" in the "Active Mode"). The default password is "123¡±), the following screen will be shown:

If the small phone icon at the top-left corner of the screen is still blinking before entering his area, then the blinking will be automatically stopped after the user entered this area.
As shown in the picture, the default content of this window is for "SMS inbox invisible msgs". Once a user selects the item in the windows using "OK" key or "Open" function in the menu, the user may view the message:

A user may use the menu items in this window to reply a user or forward a message:

Of course, a user may select menus to view the items in the different boxes.


A user may also use "Create new msg"to create a brand-new message£º

A user may also switch to "SMS inbox visible" to view the items in the box. The user may use "Hide" to hide an SMS message although this message may not be from the "Baby list". As such, a user can protect his/her sensitive short messages even his/her phone is lost.

A user may also use "Mark/Unmark" function to operate on a group of short messages. For convenience, a user may press "1¡± to make a mark, and press ¡°3¡± to unmark an item.

A user can use "Delete" key ("C") or the "Delete" menu item to remove the unwanted SMS. In order to make "PCG" to have the filter function for SMS, the user must set up the "Baby list" in "Mange List". Meanwhile, do not forget to enable it in the "Active mode".
After the "Baby list" has been set up, whenever there is a short message from "y" (as shown above), the received message will not be shown in the normal "Inbox" of the S60 "Messaging" application. The user can ONLY view the message using "PCG" with a correct password supplied. In addition, after a user has set up the "Baby list", when the user starts "PCG" again next time, all of the received/sent messages from the members of "Baby list" will be automatically made hidden to protect privacy. If the user has a long list of "Baby list" in "PCG", then it normally takes a while to process all of the messages. Please be a little patient! After this operation has been completed, then in the next startup, there should no problem!
If a user does not want to have the filter function, then he/she can go to "Active mode" to turn the function OFF


8¡¢Call records
After a user has selected"Call records"£¬the following screen will be shown£º

This function is the same as the "Manage SMS" function, and it is protected by a password. Only if a correct password is supplied, a user can enter this area. After a user has entered the correct password, the user can view all of the phone call records from the "Baby list"£º


The default content of the window is for "Missed calls". A user may choose the different menu items to view the different phone call records£º

Once a user has set up the "Baby list", only after the start-up of the next round, "Call Manager" will scan through all of the phone call logs. If the record is from the "Baby list", then, it will hide the record automatically. As such, the user's privacy is protected!
Whenever there is a call from "Baby list", and the call is not answered, then a small phone icon will keep blinking at the top-left corner the mobile screen until the user has entered the "Manage SMS" or "Call Records". If the call from "Baby list" is unanswered, the phone system shows "1 missed call", however, when a user switches to "Missed calls" window, there is nothing there since the record has been removed. Keeping the "1 missed call" reminds an important call missed! A user has to enter "Call records" to view the details of the phone call record.


9¡¢File Security
After a user selects "File Security"£¬the following screens appear£º

As shown in the above picture, this function is a protected function, and a user needs to supply the correct password in order to access this function. The password is defined in the "Protection password" in "Active Mode".

The operation here is pretty much like a file browser¡£A user may use left and right soft key to browse the directories in the phone, and the user may choose the files to encrypt or decrypt.
Since the introduction of platform security on S60 3rd, some of the directories cannot be browsed by "PCG", and those directories are protected by the operating system. If a user tries to access the directories, then the system will give out some error messages.
As shown in the above picture£¬a user may choose to encrypt the pictures files in "E:\\Images\\". The password is the one defined by "Protection password" in "Active Mode"¡£Of course, since this area is a protected area, and a user does not need to input the password again after the user has entered this area. When the file is decrypted, the user also does not need to supply the password.

A user may operate on a file or on many files. A user may simultaneously press"ABC¡± key and the Up/Down key to select multiple files£¨for those phones with "QWERTY£¢keyboard£¬a user may use SHIFT key and Up/Down to select files£©¡£When the user press "OK"key£¬a menu shown above is popped up, then he/she can encrypt the files wanted. If the file has ever been encrypted, then the "Encrypt" operation will not have any effect. Similarly, it is the same for the decrypting process. The encrypted files have an addition character "+¡± at the end of the file name. The decrypted file name is the one that removes the "+¡±. However, if the file exists already in the file folder, then "Call Manage" will prompt the user to choose a different file name.

Note£ºCurrently, encryption and decryption only work for files rather than directories. "PCG" will not have any effect if a directory is selected. For some of the big files, the encryption and decryption processes take a long time to finish. A user needs to be patient to want for the completion of the process. Meanwhile, the process is not interruptible for the moment. For convenience to enter some of the directories to manage files, some menu functions have been provided to enter the corresponding directories (images, sounds and videos).
Once the file has been encrypted, the attribute has been marked as "Hidden" as well.
Please be noted that a user is recommended to decrypt all of the files before changing a password ("Protection password"). Then encrypt the files again. Otherwise, the newpassword cannot be used to decrypt the original encrypted files! As such, a dialog will be prompted to get the original password for decrypting the files during the process.


10¡¢Exit, Hide and Quick switch
When a user selects "Exit" in the menu of the main screen, "PCG" will stop running, and it will not effect for any of the functions defined in this manual.
When a user selects the softkey "Hide" in main screen, "PCG" will be automatically pushed to the background. If the option "Show in tasklist" and "Show phone icon" option are both "OFF", then a user will not see any of the hints, showing "PCG" is currently running. It operates like that "PCG" has been integrated into the whole mobile phone service although it is running all the time.
If "Hotkey function" in "Active mode" is "ON"£¬a user may just simply activate the quick key lock function to test whether it is currently running.
When a user sets the option "Shown in tasklist" to "Off", if "PCG" is currently running in the background£¬in order to enter "PCG", the user has to enter "My Own" in the menu, and then move to the "PCG" icon to select it. It is very troublesome since involves quite a few steps. In order to make a quick switch in this situation, a user may do the following steps:
Firstly, a user enters "My Own", and moves the cursor to the "PCG" icon. Then select left softkey "Options".

Select "Move to folder" menu item, and further select "Menu" to move the "PCG" into the "Menu" folder. A user may check this by backing to "Menu" folder, and he/she may find the icon of "PCG" there at the very end of the screen. Secondly, in order to better position the icon of "PCG" for easy access by the user, the user may move the cursor to "PCG" in the "Menu", and then select "Options" again:
Further select "Move". After this, the user may see a tick appearing on the icon of "PCG"; move the cursor to the idea location, then press "OK" key. In this way, a user may position "PCG" to any places of the user's preference. It is strongly recommended that "PCG" is positioned at the beginning of the "Menu" folder for easy access by the user.
Of course, a user may always set the "Show in tasklist" to enable the icon of "Call Manager" to appear in the tasklist when it is running. A user may use the normal way to make a switch to it.


11¡¢when a user firstly uses the application£¬the user has:
a.3 days trial£¬ or
b.10 free call rejections£¬ or
c.10 free short message hiding£¬ or
d.10 free call recording£¬or
