Turning Your Phone On and Off

Turning Your Phone On

To turn your phone on:

Press and hold for a few seconds.

Once your phone is on, it may display “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).

Note:

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).
