4. The Basics

You have purchased a powerful phone, with lots of features. Read this section for some very basic information on how to use your phone.

A more comprehensive description of your phone is covered in “Your Phone A to Z” starting on page 17.

Switching the phone on and off

Press and hold the key for two seconds to switch the phone on or off.

Switching off with the key

Quickly press the key (Switch off! will appear, highlighted) then press OK.

TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: As with any other radio transmitting device, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is switched on. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.

WARNING! Do not switch on the phone when wireless phone use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

See “Safety At A Glance” on page 1 for more information.

Getting a strong signal

Your phone operates on radio waves, and the quality of radio reception depends on the strength of the radio signal in your area. This radio coverage is maintained by a wireless network and the quality of calls on a wireless phone depends on the strength of the wireless radio signal.

If your phone does not detect service at power up, the message Searching for service will be displayed. The phone will continue to search for available service for 15 minutes, at which time it will display No service if none is found.

Note: The phone will not work in analog mode while searching for digital service.
