the screen of your phone can be turned off and on separately. This means you can
wake up the screen to use just the organizer features of your device (Calendar,
Contacts, Tasks, Memos, and so on) without turning on the phone and other
wireless features. Also, when the screen is turned off, the phone can be on and
ready for you to receive phone calls or messages.
Turn the screen on/off
Wake up the screen and leave the wireless services turned off when you want to
use only the organizer features, for example, when you’re on a plane and want to
look at your calendar. You can also turn off the screen without turning off the
wireless features on your phone.

WARNING If driving while using a phone is permitted in your area, we recommend
using a headset or hands-free car kit (sold separately). However, be aware that
use of a headset that covers both ears impairs your ability to hear other sounds.
Use of such a headset while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle may
create a serious hazard to you and/or others, and may be illegal. If you must use a
stereo headset while driving, place a speaker in only one ear. Leave the other ear
free to hear outside noises, and use the headset only if it is legal and you can do
so safely.
