Turning your phone on and off
When your phone is on, it is connected to
your wireless service provider’s 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 pTunes music
application and Pics&Videos. This is
sometimes referred to as flight mode and
is ideal for airplane flights and maximizing
battery life.
1 Wake up the screen.
2 Press and hold Power/End to
turn on your phone.
When your smartphone locates a signal
(provided you are in a coverage area),
your wireless service provider’s name
and the signal-strength icon
appear at the top of the screen,
indicating that you can use the phone
and Internet features (if supported by
the mobile network).
3 Press and hold Power/End
again to turn off your phone. When your
phone is off, Phone Off appears at the
top of the Phone application screen and
your smartphone is not connected to
any mobile network. You can still use
the nonwireless features of your
smartphone, such as Contacts,
Calendar, Tasks, and Memos.
TIP
If the Ringer switch is set to Sound On,
you hear a series of tones when you turn your
phone on and off (see Silencing sounds
).
TIP
If you’re outside a coverage area, No
Service appears in the upper-left corner.
