Lock mode

When you lock your phone using the Lock Mode menu option, you restrict phone usage. You can receive messages and calls, but you cannot make an outgoing call until your phone is unlocked. You can unlock your phone, by following the prompts and entering the lock code.

Power save mode

Your phone comes with a power save feature that automatically activates if your phone is unable to ﬁnd a signal after 15 minutes of searching. While this feature is active, the phone’s battery charge is conserved. The phone automatically rechecks periodically for a signal. To manually force the phone to recheck for a signal, press any key. A message on the display screen will inform you when your phone is operating in the power save mode.

Standby mode

Standby mode is the fundamental state of your phone once your phone has found service.

Your phone goes into standby mode:

1.After you power it on.

2.When you press after a call, if your phone is on.

When in standby mode, you will see:

1.The month/date, and time.

2.All other active icons.

While in standby mode, enter a phone number, and press to call.

Press at any time to return to standby mode, but be careful; if you are on

a call when you press , you will return to standby mode and disconnect your call.
