Standby is the most basic state of your phone. The phone goes into
Standby Mode after you turn it on, or whenever you briefly press
the key. When your phone is in Standby Mode, you will typically see
the current date and time. If you enter a phone number, you can press
the key to dial it, or press the soft key to save it in the internal
Phonebook.
Press the key at any time to return to Standby Mode. Be careful;
if you are on a call when you press the key, your phone disconnects
the call and returns to Standby Mode. Press the or soft key
several times or hold it down to return to Standby Mode without
ending the call.
