Turning Your Phone On and Off

Turning Your Phone On
To turn your phone on:
Press and hold for approximately two seconds.
Once your phone is on, it may display “Searching for Service,” which indicates 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 service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned on).
Turning Your Phone Off

Press and hold for two seconds until you see the powering down animation on the display screen.
Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the battery is charging).

Tip:
The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when you are in an area where there is no signal.

Charging the Battery
Your phone’s LiIon battery is rechargeable and should be charged as soon as possible so you can begin using your phone.
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you will lose all the information you were just working on. For a quick check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper­right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use an approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.
Using the Charger
To use the travel charger provided with your phone:
Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the phone’s charger jack and the other end into an electrical outlet.
Ared indicator light on the phone lets you know the battery is charging.
A green indicator light lets you know that the battery is at least 90 percent charged.
It takes approximately 3 hours to fully recharge a completely rundown battery. With the approved LiIon battery, you can recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.
Warning!
Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone and void the warranty.
