Quad Number

Your phone can be activated with up to four unique phone numbers. If more than one number is programmed, you will see the currently active number whenever you turn ON the phone. Turn to Changing Your Number on page 94 if you want to change the active number.

Roaming

If your home network is not available when you turn your phone ON, your phone will briefly display: Roaming.

Power Save Mode

If you travel outside the range of available networks, your phone continues to search for a signal. To save power, it stops searching every couple of minutes. When this is the case, you will see:

Power Save. Your phone will automatically begin searching again in a minute or two – if you would like it to start searching immediately, just press any key.

Standby Mode

To conserve energy, your phone enters standby mode and turns OFF the backlight when you have not touched a key for a few seconds. The backlight will come back ON as soon you press a key or open the phone.
