Power On Greeting

When you turn on your Digital StarTac Cellular Telephone, it performs a self-test to let you know it is operational. When the test is completed, the display shows one of several possible greetings. For example, your Service Provider may broadcast its name in your phone’s display. If you don’t see the name of your Service Provider, then you will see Home System when inside your local coverage area or Public Roam when outside your local coverage area.

Standby Mode

To conserve energy, your phone may turn off its light when in standby mode. The display light comes back the next time you press a key or open the phone.

How to Hold Your Phone

Hold your cellular phone with the antenna fully extended and pointing up and over your shoulder. For best performance, make sure your hand is not covering the antenna.

Storing Your Phone in Its Holster
