Turning Your Phone On and Off
Turning Your Phone On
䡵Press the power button on top of your phone for
2 two seconds to turn on your phone.
Once your phone is on, it displays “Searching for service” that
indicates that your phone is searching for a signal. When your
phone finds a signal, it automatically enters the 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 the
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
䡵Press for a few seconds until you see “Goodbye” on
the display screen.
Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the
battery charger is connected).
Using the Battery and Charger
Battery Capacity
Your PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery.
It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.
The battery provides approximately 3 hours of continuous
digital talk time (1 hour in analog) or approximately 12 days of
continuous digital standby time (1 day in analog).

When the battery charge is getting low, the “Battery low. Please
recharge” message is displayed on your screen, and the phone
sounds a warning tone. When the battery has become too weak
to operate your phone, the message “Switching off. Please
recharge” is displayed on your screen.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, and vibrate mode
affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.
Installing the Battery
To install the battery, replace the battery, or to access your
phone’s ESN (electronic serial number), you must first remove
the phone’s back cover.
Note: Turn the phone off before removing the phone cover.
To remove the back cover, press the release button, press your
thumb against the thumb grip, and slide the entire back cover
up and over the whip antenna.
To install the battery:
1. Insert the battery at a 45-degree angle with the label side
facing up into the cavity on the back of the phone. The
metal contacts must be aligned with and connected to the
metal prongs.
