Turning Your Phone ON and OFFTurning Your Phone ON
To turn your phone on, press for approximately
two seconds.
Once your phone is ON, it displays “Searching 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 without your intervention. You can also initiate a
search for PCS 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
Press and hold until you see the powering down
message and animation (for example, “LG Goodbye!”) on the
display screen.
Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the
battery is charging).
