• About the 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. Other indicators
and icons appear on this Start screen and
are described in the next section.
