Turning Your Phone ON and OFF
Turning Your Phone ON
Press for a few seconds. The phone will display “Powering On”
until it locates a signal, then it will automatically enter Standby mode
— the phone’s idle state. At this point, you’re 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
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 a few seconds until you see “Powering off...” on the
display screen.
