Switching the Phone On or Off
1. Press and hold the
key until the power-on
image displays to switch the phone on.
The service light on the phone flashes and an alert
sounds. When the system locates services, the
Banner greeting message displays along with the
date and time. You can now place and receive calls.
If the phone is out of service, the No Service icon
(
) appears on the display. In this case, you cannot
make and receive calls. You can try again later when
service is available.
Note
: You can change the display language. To
change the language, use the
Language
menu
option (
Menu 5-1
). For further details, see page
79.
2. When you wish to switch the phone off, hold down
the
key more than two seconds.
WARNING!
Do not switch the phone on when mobile phone use is
prohibited or when it may cause interference or
danger.
Note:
As with any other radio-transmitting device, do
not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the
phone is switched on. Contact with the antenna
affects the call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than
otherwise needed.
Low Battery Indicator
You can easily tell if your battery needs to be recharged
by checking the Battery Status icon (
) at the upper-
right corner of your phone’s display. The presence of all
three bars indicates a full charge, two bars indicates a
smaller charge, and one bar indicates an even smaller
charge.
When the battery charge level gets low, the battery
sensor blinks an empty Battery Status icon (
) and
sounds a warning tone. If the battery level gets too low,
the phone automatically turns off. When this happens,
you lose whatever you are doing and your phone call
cuts off. Watch the Battery Status icon and make sure
that your battery is adequately charged.
Battery Talk Time and Standby time
Battery times can vary depending on operating
conditions, usage, signal strength and backlight setting.
Talk time usage will decrease standby time.
