Your Phone's Modes

Standby Mode
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 . When your
phone is in Standby mode, you will typically see
the greeting message and the current time and
date. If you enter a phone number, you can press
to dial it or press to save it in Phonebook.
Press at any time to return to Standby mode.
Be careful; if you are on a call when you press ,
the call disconnects and the phone returns to
Standby mode.
Talk Mode
You can place and answer calls only when your
phone is turned on. During a call, the phone is in
Talk mode. While you are in Talk mode, pressing
gives you a list of options. See page 35 for
details.
Power Save Mode
Your phone comes with a power save feature that
is automatically activated if your phone is unable
to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching.
While this feature is active, the phone's battery
charge is conserved. The phone automatically
rechecks for a signal periodically. To manually
force the phone to recheck for a signal, press any
key.
