conserve the remaining battery power.

automatically turns off.

the password and press the OK soft key or the key.
The password is preset to “00000000” at the factory. For
further details, see "Change password" on page 112.
3. If the phone asks for a PIN, enter the PIN and press the
OK soft key or the key. For further details, see "PIN
check" on page 111.

the name of your service provider appears on the lower
half of your display. Now you can make or receive calls.
