Troubleshooting
Q. I pressed the power button, but nothing happened. What's wrong with
my phone?
A. Check that you have installed a battery and that the battery is charged. See pages
16-27 for more information about batteries for the StarTAC phone.
Q. My battery didn't last as long as I expected. What can I do to extend battery life?
A. Keep in mind that your battery's "talk-time" and "standby-time" are a relative
measurement of the battery's capacity. The more you talk on the phone, the less
standby-time you will have and vice versa.
To get the most from your battery, make sure it is fully charged. To charge the
battery to 100% of its capacity, leave it in the charger for an extra hour after the
charger's light turns green.
Certain features can demand power from your battery and reduce battery life. If
you have selected the Automatic Display of Individual Call Timer feature, the
display uses battery power to remain active during each call. Turn this feature OFF
to conserve battery energy. (See page 72 for more information on this feature.)
Exposing your battery to extreme temperatures—below -10°C (14°F) or above
45°C (113°F)—can shorten battery life. Batteries are especially sensitive to high
temperature extremes. As a good rule of thumb, always take your phone with you
when you leave your car.
Q. The display says, "
A. Try entering the last three digits of your cellular number. If that doesn't work, try
using the factory preset lock code: 123. If all else fails, call your cellular service
provider (the company that sends you your monthly cellular bill) for assistance.
(See page 84 for more information on your phone's Security Features.)
