Turning Your Phone On and Off
Turning Your Phone On
Ⅵ Press the power button on top of your phone for
2 two seconds to turn on your phone.
Once your phone is on, it displays “Searching for service” that
indicates that your phone is searching for a signal. When your
phone finds a signal, it automatically enters the standby mode—
the phone’s idle state. At this point, you are ready to begin
making and receiving calls.
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of
searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated.
When a signal is found, your phone automatically returns to the
standby mode.
In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal
periodically without your intervention. You can also initiate a
search for PCS Service by pressing any key (when your phone is
turned on).
Tip: The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when
you are in an area where there is no signal.
Turning Your Phone Off
Ⅵ Press for a few seconds until you see “Goodbye” on
the display screen.
Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the
battery charger is connected).
Using the Battery and Charger

Your PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery.
It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.

continuous digital standby time (1 day in analog).
