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.
Note: You can change the display language in
the Language menu (Menu #-6-5).
For further details, see page 69.
3. When you wish to switch off the phone, press
and hold the END key for more than two
seconds 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.
Note: As with any other radio-transmitting device,
do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when
the phone is switched on. Contact with the
antenna affects the call quality and may cause
the phone to operate at a higher power level
than otherwise needed.

Using the soft keys

Your phone offers a set of functions that allows
you to customize 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. If you enter a phone number, you
can press the SEND key to dial it or press the
Save soft key to save it in Contacts.
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. While you are in Talk mode, pressing
the Menu soft key gives you a list of options. See
page 27 for details.
