12 Getting Started With Sprint PCS Service
Turning Your Phone ON and OFF
Turning Your Phone ON
To turn your phone on, press for approximately two seconds.
Once your phone is ON, it displays “Looking for Service” indicating 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).
Tip: The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when
you are in an area where there is no signal.
Turning Your Phone OFF
Press for two seconds.
Your screen remains blank while your phone is off.

Store,
it probably has been activated. All you need to do is unlock your phone.
