Turning Your Phone ON and OFF
Turning Your Phone On
Press to turn your phone on.
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
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
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).
