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

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) batter y. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 3.4 hours of continuous digital talk time.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are up to two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.
Installing the Battery
To install the battery, replace the battery, or to access your phone’s ESN (electronic serial number), you must first remove the phone back cover.
To remove the back cover, turn the phone upside down, press the release button down, and push the back cover away.
Note:
Before removing the cover, always switch off the power and disconnect the charger and any other device. Avoid touching electronic components while changing the covers. Always store and use the device with the covers attached.
Tip:
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Section 2A: Your Phone – The Basics 15
To install the LiIon battery:
1. Insert the battery (label side facing up) into the cavity at a
45-degree angle. (The metal contacts must be aligned with and touching the metal prongs.)
2. Press down on the battery until it snaps into place.
Removing the Battery
To remove your battery:
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored
numbers or messages.
2. To remove the back cover, turn the phone upside down, press
the release button down, and push the back cover away.
3. Pull downward on the upper end of the battery with your finger
tip and remove the battery from the phone at a 45-degree angle.

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 upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the batter y icon ( ) blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Qwest-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.
To use the charger provided with your phone:
Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the phone’s charger jack and the other end into a standard electrical outlet.
It takes approximately 3 hours to fully recharge a completely rundown battery. With the Qwest-approved LiIon battery, you can recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.
Important Note:
It is vital that you use only Qwest-approved AC adapter chargers. Use of unauthorized accessories could damage your phone and invalidate your warranty.
