Turning Your Phone On and Off
Turning Your Phone On
To turn your phone on:
Press and hold Efor approximately 2 seconds.
Once your phone is on, it may display “Looking 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 withoutyour intervention. You can also initiate a
search for 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.
Turning Your Phone Off
To turn your phone off:

powering down animation on the display screen.

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It
allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.
The battery provides up to 5.5 hours of continuous digital talk
time (up to 3 hours in analog).
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon
blinks. When there are approximately 5 minutes of talk time
left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers
down.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and
browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.
Installingthe Battery
To install the LiIon battery:
1. Place the battery into the space beneath the antenna
with the metal contacts at
the bottom, facing
downward.
2. Gently press down until
it’s in place and the battery
release latch snaps.

Removingthe Battery
To remove your battery:
1. Make sure the power is
off so that you don’t lose
any stored numbers or
messages.
2. Push the battery release
latch up and hold the
battery.
3. Pull the battery up and
out ata 45-degree angle.
Chargingthe 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
currently 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 battery icon
appears and the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Qwest-approved desktop charger, travel charger,
or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.
Warning: Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your
phone and void the warranty.
