Turning Your Phone On and Off
Turning Your Phone On
To turn your phone on:
ᮣ Press and hold the power key on
the top of your phone for approximately
two seconds.
Once your phone is on, it displays “Searching
for Service” that indicates 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 Sprint
PCS
Service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned On).
Turning Your Phone Off
To turn your phone off:
ᮣ Press and hold for two seconds until you see “Goodbye”
on the display screen.
Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the
battery charger is connected).
Tip:
The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when you
are in an area where there is no signal.
