Turning on/off radio
When you first receive your handheld, the wireless radio will be
turned off, and the handheld cannot communicate over the wireless
network. You must turn on the radio before you can send and
receive messages.
In the Home screen, scroll to the TURN WIRELESS ON icon
and click.
You will notice that the TURN WIRELESS ON icon is an antenna,
but when you select this icon, the function name changes to TURN
WIRELESS OFF and the icon changes to an airplane. The airplane
icon is a reminder to turn off your handheld’s radio when on an
airplane, in a hospital, or any place that it may interfere with other
radio transmissions and frequencies. The icon will change back and
forth depending on whether the wireless radio is on or off.
There should be two messages in your Messages screen when you
first receive your handheld to introduce you to your handheld and
some of its basic features.
