Turning Your Phone On and Off

Turning Your Phone On
To turn your phone on:
Press and hold E for approximately 2 seconds.
Once your phone is on, it may display “Looking for Service...,” which indicates thatyour phone is searching for a signal. When your phone finds a signal, itautomatically 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 withoutyour intervention. You can also initiate a search for Sprint PCS Service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned on).
Tip: The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when you
are in an area where there is no signal.

Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the battery is charging).
