phone goes into Standby mode soon after you turn it on, or if
your phone is on, whenever you briefly press . When
your phone is in Standby mode, you will see the banner (the

date and the active top line icons. While in Standby mode,
you can enter a phone number, press to dial it, or press
to save it in the Internal Phone Book.
Press at any time to return to Standby mode, but be
careful; if you’re on a call when you press , you’ll
return to Standby mode but you’ll also disconnect the call.
Press several times or hold it down to return to Standby
mode without ending a call.
The Main menu is accessed when you are in Standby mode by
pressing . See “Your Phone’s Main menu” on page 117

Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a Power Save feature that
will automatically be activated if your phone is unable to find
a signal after 15 minutes of searching. While this feature is
active, the phone’s battery charge is conserved. The phone
will automatically recheck for a signal periodically. A message
on the display will let you know when your phone is
operating in Power Save mode.
