Turning Your Device’s Phone On and Off
When your phone is on, it is connected to the Sprint National Network (provided you are in
a coverage area), so that you can make and receive phone calls and use wireless services,
such as email, messaging, and the Web browser. During initial setup, your phone is on by
default, so you can use wireless services right away.
If you turn off your phone, you can still use the organizer features such as Contacts and
Calendar, as well as the media features such as the Pocket Tunes
™
music application and
Pics&Videos. This is sometimes referred to as flight mode and is ideal for using your device
on airplanes and for maximizing battery life.
