Phone Basics
Your phone is equipped with a Location feature for use in
connection with location-based services that may be
available in the future (page 52).
Your phone’s external LCD display allows you to monitor
the phone’s status and to see who’s calling without
opening the phone.
T9 Text Input lets you quickly type messages with one
keypress per letter (page 40).
Speed dial lets you dial phone numbers with one or two
keypresses (page 38).
Turning Your Phone On and Off
Turning Your Phone On
To turn your phone on:
Press and release .
Once your phone is on, it may display “Searching for Service,”
which indicates that your phone is searching for a signal.
When your phone finds a signal, it automatically enters
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
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).
Note:
The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power
when you are in an area where there is no signal.
