Press and hold .
Once your phone is on, it may display “Searching for Service.” When your phone finds a signal, it 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 Sprint service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned on).
Tip: The Power Save feature conserves your battery power when you are in an area where there is no signal.
