Turning Your Phone On And Off; Using The Battery - Samsung SPH-A660 User Manual

Turning Your Phone ON and OFF

Turning Your Phone ON
Press for approximately two seconds to turn your phone On.
Once your phone is ON, it displays "Searching for Service" or "Entering
PCS 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 PCS Service
by pressing any key (when your phone is turned ON).
Tip:
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
Press for two seconds 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).
