15 seconds after you press the last key.
• During battery charging, the keypad backlight does not

when the phone is turned on and unlocked.

SIGNAL STRENGTH/SERVICE AREA
The phone always displays a green signal strength meter
when it is turned on to indicate the strength of the cellular sig-
nal currently being received. The more bars that appear on
the meter, the stronger the signal.
