3. About Your Phone
• Switching on your phone
To switch your phone on, press and hold for more than a second. The
phone might ask for a Personal Identification (PIN) code or a security
code. See “PIN and PUK codes” on page 70 for more information.
Warning! Do not switch on the phone in places where wireless
phone use is prohibited or where the use of the phone could
cause interference or danger.
Tip: As with any other radio
transmitting device, do not touch
the antenna unnecessarily when
the phone is switched on. Contact
with the antenna affects call
quality and might cause the phone
to operate at a higher power level
than otherwise needed.
• Start screen
When you turn on your phone, the first
screen that appears is the Start Screen.
In the middle of the Start Screen, you see
information
indicating which wireless
network your phone uses. This
information can vary between phones.
Two indicators also appear on this Start
Screen. These indicators and other icons are described in the next section.
