Turning Your Phone On and Off Turning Your Phone On To turn your phone on: ᮣ Flip the phone open, then press and release . Once your phone is on, it may display "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 Sprint PCS Service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned on). Note: 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 To turn your phone off: ᮣ Press and hold 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). 24 Section 2A: Your Sprint PCS Phone: The Basics
