Display indicators.

Display indicators appear across the top of your phone’s display screen.These display indicators (or icons) will vary based your phone’s operating mode.

Signal strength: This icon shows your current signal strength. More lines indicate more signal strength. Four lines indicate maxi- mum strength, and one line indicates least strength.

Service indicator: This icon indicates a call is in progress.

No service indicator: This icon indicates your phone cannot find a signal because you’re outside a service area.When this is dis- played, you cannot make or receive calls.Wait a little while for a signal or move into an open area.

Roaming: Appears when you are out of your home area and have registered with a different network.

Message indicator: This icon indicates you have message(s) waiting. Press OK to see the message menu, or press and hold to be con- nected to Voicemail.

Analog mode: This icon indicates your phone is operating in analog mode.

Vibrator on: This icon means that an incom- ing call will vibrate the phone rather than ring it.This feature is good for quiet situations where you don’t want your ringer to disturb others.

Battery strength: This icon shows the level of your battery charge.The more black bars you see, the greater the charge.When the ba- ttery becomes very low, an empty box appears and the phone flashes an alert.

Using the battery.

Your Phone comes with a partially charged, recharge- able Lithium Ion (Li-ion) Battery so that you can use your phone immediately after it is activated.

Installing the battery.

To attach the battery to your Phone:

1.Hold the battery so that the metal contacts on the base of the battery line up with the metal contacts on the base of the phone.

2.Place the battery on the back of the phone with the top of the battery about a quarter of an inch from the latch.

3.Gently slide the battery toward the top of the phone until it snaps into place.

Charging the battery.

You can tell whether or not your battery needs to be recharged by checking the upper-right corner of your phone’s display.

When the battery charge level gets low, the battery sensor will let you know by blinking the battery icon, sounding a tone and displaying a message. If the battery level gets too low, the phone will turn off automatically. Unfortunately, if this happens you’ll lose whatever you were just doing, including drop- ping your call.Watch the battery strength icon and make sure your battery is adequately charged.
