Troubleshooting

Q. I pressed the power button, but nothing happened. What’s wrong with my phone?

A.Check that you have installed a battery and that the battery is charged. See page 12 for information about installing your battery.

Q.The display says Locked. How do I unlock my phone?

A.Try entering the last three digits of your wireless number. If that does not work, try using the factory preset lock code: 123. If this fails, call your Service Provider (the company that sends you your monthly wireless bill) for assistance. For more information on your phone’s security features, see the Lock/Security chapter, page 84.

Q.My battery did not last as long as I expected. What can I do to extend battery life?

A.To get the most from your battery, make sure it is fully charged. To charge the battery to 100% of its capacity, leave it in the charger for an extra hour after the charger’s light turns green.

Exposing your battery to extreme temperatures—below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F)—can shorten battery life. Batteries are especially sensitive to high temperature extremes. It is a good idea to always take your phone with you when you leave your car.

Q.I tried to place a call and received a fast busy signal.

A.This sound means that your call was not processed. For example, the

network may be temporarily busy. To redial the number, press the Smart Button or press ¾ before ending your call attempt, or press ¼ and try the call again later. See page 99 for more information on redialing.
