Turning Your Phone ON and OFF

Turning Your Phone On

Once your phone is on, it displays “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.

In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically without your intervention. You can also initiate a search for PCS Service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned on).

Using Your Phone’s Battery

Battery Capacity

Your PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) batter y. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.

The standard battery provides approximately 3.3 hours of continuous digital talk time (1.5 hours in analog) or approximately 360 hours of continuous digital standby time (18 hours in analog).

The extended battery provides approximately 5.4 hours of continuous digital talk time (2.4 hours in analog) or approximately 580 hours of continuous digital standby time (29 hours in analog).

When the battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon blinks. When there are approximately five minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, camera/camcorder mode,

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.

Your PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You should charge the battery 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 battery icon ( ) blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.
