Turning your phone on and off

When your phone is on, it is connected to the Verizon Wireless network (provided you are in a coverage area) so that you can make and receive phone calls and use wireless services such as email, messaging, and the web browser. During initial setup, your phone is on by default, so you can use wireless services right away.

If you turn off your phone, you can still use the organizer features such as Contacts and Calendar, as well as the media features, such as the pTunes music application and Pics&Videos. This is sometimes referred to as flight mode and is ideal for airplane flights and maximizing battery life.

1Wake up the screen.

2Press and hold Power/End to turn on your phone.

TIP If the Ringer switch is set to Sound On, you hear a series of tones when you turn your phone on and off (see Silencing sounds).

When your smartphone locates a signal (provided you are in a coverage area), Verizon Wireless and the signal-strength icon appear at the top of the screen, indicating that you can use the phone and Internet features (if supported by the mobile network).

TIP The indicator light flashes green when your phone is on and you’re inside a coverage area. If you’re outside a coverage area, No Service appears in the upper-left corner and the indicator light flashes amber.

3Press and hold Power/End again to turn off your phone. When your phone is off, Phone Off and the

phone-off icon appear at the top of the Phone application screen and your smartphone is not connected to any mobile network. You can still use the nonwireless features of your smartphone, such as Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos.
