Switching the Phone On/Off
1. Press and hold down until the power-on image
is displayed to switch the phone on.
The service light on the phone flashes, and an alert
sounds. When the system locates services, the
greeting message displays along with the date and

( ) appears on the display. In this case, you
cannot make and receive calls. You can try again
later when service is available.
2. When you wish to switch the phone off, hold down
more than two seconds.
WARNING!
Do not switch on the phone when mobile phone use
is prohibited or when it may cause interference or
danger.
Note: As with any other radio-transmitting device,
do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when
the phone is switched on. Contact with the
antenna affects the call quality and may cause
the phone to operate at a higher power level
than otherwise needed.
Low Battery Indicator
You can easily tell if your battery needs to be
recharged by checking the Battery Status icon ( ) in
the upper-right corner of your phone’s display. The
presence of all three bars indicates a full charge, two
bars indicates a smaller charge, and one bar indicates
an even smaller charge. No bars (the battery icon is
empty) means your battery must be charged.
When the battery charge level gets low, the battery
sensor blinks an empty Battery Status icon ( ) and
sounds a warning tone. If the battery level gets too
low, the phone will automatically turn off.
Unfortunately, if this happens, you’ll lose whatever you
are doing and your phone call will cut off. Watch the
Battery Status icon and make sure your battery is
adequately charged.
5. Take the battery out of the charger.
