Turning the phone on
To use your phone, the power must be turned on.
It is preferable to extend the antenna, since this
maximizes signal strength and minimizes interference.
Extending the antenna
Hold the end of the antenna and
pull up until fully extended.
To retract the antenna
Push the antenna down until it is fully retracted.
Turning the power on
Hold down
for about one second. The call alert indicator lights up, a beep
PWR
sounds, and the phone starts searching for a signal. When the phone has found a
service signal, the standby display appears and the call alert indicator goes off. Now
the phone is ready to use.
To check the digital service
The digital service icon ( ) appears when your phone is operating in digital or
CDMA mode. If a digital signal is not available, your phone will look for a cellular
or analog signal. Some networks may allow you to force your phone to operate in
analog mode (see "Forcing the phone into analog mode" on page XX).
To check the signal strength
The signal strength icon indicates various levels of signal strength. It is best to make
calls when the signal is strong, although calls can be made when the signal strength
is weak.
Strong
If you are out of the service area
The out-of-service icon ( ) appears, and the phone searches for a service signal. If a
signal cannot be found, the phone enters power save mode. It will "wake up"
automatically at intervals (based on carrier network settings) to search for a service
signal.
Turning the power off
Hold down
for about one second.
