Getting service

You must contact your service provider and follow their instructions for
obtaining service for your phone. We suggest that you read this user guide to
fully understand the services that your phone supports.

Turning your phone on

1. Fully extend the antenna for the clearest reception.
2. Press and hold
Note: Your phone has a built-in antenna. As with any other radio-transmitting
device, do not touch the antenna as it affects call quality and can cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than is necessary.
3. The LED indicator lights and a power-up alert sounds. The name of your
service provider momentarily appears on the display screen.
4. The phone begins searching for a network signal. When a signal is found,
the date, day, and time appears.
5. Your phone is now ready to place and receive calls.
If the phone is outside of your carrier's coverage or roaming area the
displays. If this happens you cannot place or receive calls. You must try later
when service becomes available.
