When you’re ready to turn your phone on, fully extend the
antenna for best reception. Simply press and three
things happen:
The LED indicator flashes,
the phone beeps and
the start-up graphics begin to play.
The phone will then begin searching for a network signal.
When a signal is found, the icon appears and your
phone enters Standby mode. The Standby mode screen is
shown below and always contains the following four things:
Signal strength indicator .
Battery strength indicator
.
Banner (here the banner is
“Sprint PCS” but you can
personalize it).
Time and date.
You can make and receive calls now.

To turn your phone off, press and hold until the power
off graphics begin to play. The power off sounds will then
play and the display goes blank. Notice that when the phone
is off, nothing is displayed on the screen, and the backlight is
off.
Note: If your phone is on and is pressed for less than
one second, the phone will not turn off. This feature helps
keep your phone from being accidentally turned off.
