Turning Your Phone ON and OFF

Turning Your Phone ON

1.Fully extend the antenna to receive the best reception.

2.Press and hold until your phone is turned ON.

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).

Turning Your Phone OFF

Press and hold until you see “Power off” on the display.

Your screen remains blank while your phone is off, unless you’re charging the battery.
