Turning Your Phone ON and OFF
Turning Your Phone ON
Ⅵ Press for approximately two seconds to turn your
phone On.
Once your phone is ON, it displays “Searching for Service” or
“Entering Sprint Service Area” 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 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
Ⅵ Press for two seconds 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).
