Switching on or off the phone

1. Open the phone.
2. Press and hold the END key until the power-on
image displays to switch on the phone.
The service light on the phone flashes and an
alert sounds. When the system locates
services, the greeting message displays along
with the time and date. You can now place and
receive calls.
If the phone is out of service, the No Service
icon (
) appears on the display. In this case,
you cannot place and receive calls. You can try
again later when service is available.
3. When you wish to switch off the phone, press
and hold the END key until the power-off
image displays.
WARNING!
Do not switch on the phone when mobile phone
use is prohibited or when it may cause
interference or danger.

Using the soft keys

Your phone offers a set of functions that allows
you to customize and use it. These functions are
arranged in menus and submenus, accessed using
the two soft keys. Each menu and submenu allows
you to view and alter the settings of a particular
function.

The roles of the soft keys vary depending on the
current function you are using; the labels on the
bottom line of the display just above each key
indicate their current role.

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 the END key.
When your phone is in Standby mode, you will
typically see the greeting message and the current
time and date.
Press the END key at any time to return to
Standby mode. Be careful; if you are on a call
when you press the END key, 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.
Lock mode
When you lock your phone using the Lock Phone
menu, you cannot use the phone. In Lock mode,
you can receive messages and calls, but you
cannot place an outgoing call until you unlock the
phone.
