Turning Your Device’s Phone On and Off

When your phone is on, it is connected to the Sprint National 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 Pocket Tunes™ music application and Pics&Videos. This is sometimes referred to as flight mode and is ideal for using your device on airplanes and for maximizing battery life.

1.Wake up the screen.

2.Press and hold Power/End . (You hear a series of ascending tones and see a “Welcome” screen. When your device locates a signal, “Sprint” and the

signal-strength icon appear at the top of the Phone application screen, indicating that you can use the phone and Internet features, if they are supported by the local network.)

3.Press and hold Power/End again to turn off your phone. (You hear a series of descending tones and see a “Powering off” screen. When your phone is off, Phone Off appears at the top of the Phone application screen. You can still use the nonwireless features of your device, such as Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos.)
