Reading The Display/Indicators
Your phone's display provides a full range of messages and special
indicators to assist you with the phone's operation. Since many of these

example, the phone displays EmrgCy CALL then (within about 1 second) on to
indicate that the Emergency Call feature is turned on.

entire message all together (such as EmrgCy CALL on).
