Understanding This User Guide
This user guide introduces you to our technology and all the advantages
of your new Sprint PCS Phone – through easy-to-follow instructions.
Sections break down categories of information to progressively take
you all the way from learning the basics to using the most advanced
phone features.
Tips highlight special shortcuts and timely reminders to help you
make the most of your new phone.
The Table of Contents and Index help you locate specific
information quickly.
We know that your time is valuable and that's why we've designed this
guide to be used in a building block format or in stand-alone sections.
You'll get the most out of your phone if you read each section. However, if
you'd like to get right to a specific feature, you'll be able to locate the
specific section using the colored tabs. Follow the instructions in that
section and you'll be ready to use your phone in no time.
Turning Your Phone ON and OFF
Turning Your Phone ON
To turn your phone on, press
Once your phone is ON, it displays "Searching for 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 Sprint 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.
