Get Started
Obtain service for your phone
Contact Verizon Wireless and follow their instructions for 
obtaining service. We suggest that you read this guide to fully 
understand the services your phone supports.
Turn your phone on
1.
Open the flip, then press and hold
for two or
more seconds.
As with any other radio-transmitting device, do not touch the 
antenna as it affects call quality and may cause the phone to 
operate at a higher power level than is necessary.
2.
Your service provider’s name momentarily appears in the 
display and the phone begins searching for a 
network signal.
3.
Once the phone finds a signal, the time, date, and day 
appear in the display (in CDMA mode only).
4.
You’re now ready to place and receive calls.
If the phone is outside of the Verizon Wireless coverage or 
roaming area, 
appears in the top of the display. If you are
traveling outside the U.S., it may be necessary to switch to 
GSM (Int’l) mode. See “Switch phone modes” on page 29 
for how to switch your phone mode from GSM to CDMA and 
vice versa.
