Your phone’s modes
Standby mode
Standby mode is your phone’s basic state. The
phone goes into Standby mode soon after you turn
it on, or whenever you briefly press
. When your
phone is in Standby mode, you will typically see the
current time and date. If you enter a phone
number, you can press
to dial it, or press
to
save it in Phonebook.
Press
at any time to return to Standby mode. Be
careful; if you are on a call when you press
,
your phone disconnects the call and returns to
Standby mode.
Talk mode
You can place and answer calls only when your
phone is turned on. During a call, the phone is in
Talk mode. While you are in Talk mode, pressing
gives you a list of options. See page 36 for
details.
Power save mode
Your phone comes with a Power Save feature that is
automatically activated if your phone is unable to
find a signal after 15 minutes of searching. While
this feature is active, the phone’s battery charge is
conserved. To return to Standby mode, press any
key.
