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.
1. Wake up the screen.
2. Press and hold Power/End . (You hear a series of ascending tones and see a
“Welcome” screen. When your device locates a signal, “Sprint” and the
signal-strength icon appear at the top of the Phone application screen, indicating
that you can use the phone and Internet features, if they are supported by the local
network.)
3. Press and hold Power/End again to turn off your phone. (You hear a series of
descending tones and see a “Powering off” screen. When your phone is off, Phone Off
appears at the top of the Phone application screen. You can still use the nonwireless
features of your device, such as Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos.)
