Power On Greeting

Each time you turn your phone ON, it performs a self-test to let you know
your phone is operational.  When the self-test is finished, the display
reads "on" and you're ready to go.

IMPORTANT:  Your M70 phone will also display network related messages when
            it's first powered ON.  For example, your Service Provider may
            broadcast their name in your phone's display.  If you don't
            see the name of your Service Provider, then you'll see
            "Home System" when inside your local coverage area or
            "Public Roam" when outside your local coverage area.

Standby Mode

To conserve energy, your phone will turn OFF its lights when you haven't
touched a key for a few seconds.  Don't worry, the display will come back
when you press a key or open the phone's keypad cover.
