Turning Your Phone On and Off

Turning Your Phone On

To turn your phone on:
Press .
Once your phone is on, it displays “Looking for service...which indicates
that your phone is searching for a signal. When your phone finds a
signal, it automatically 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 PCS
Service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned on).
Tip:The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when you are in an
area where there is no signal.

Turning Your Phone Off

To turn your phone off:
Press and hold until you see the powering down

animation on the display screen.

Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the battery is
charging).
