time remain, a warning tone sounds and the “Main Battery
very low” message repeats at regular intervals on the
display and the battery icon ( ) displays. The backlight
turns off to conserve the remaining battery power.
When the battery level becomes too low, the device

Turning your device on or off
Press and hold to turn on your device. The device is
logged into your home network and receives the signal
from the network. You can now make or answer calls and
use programs on the device.
To turn off the device, press and hold
.
Note : Your device supports HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink
Packet Access) connections. Because the HSDPA
network configurations are different from country to
country, a notification may appear to indicate that your
HSDPA options have changed if you move across the
boundaries between countries. To apply the new
changes, you must restart your device. If you do not,
making or receiving calls and transmitting data
simultaneously may not work. In some countries,
incoming and outgoing voice calls may be limited until
the HSDPA networks are upgraded.
