CHAPTER 3
DISPLAYS, MESSAGES, AND ALERTS
To conduct basic troubleshooting and maintenance of the i860 unit, you must become familiar
with the display screens, errors, messages, and alert tones associated with the unit.
3.1 Power-Up Sequence
Extend the antenna for optimum power and press 
p
momentarily to turn on the unit and begin the 
power-up sequence. The power-up sequence initiates a series of displays on the unit. As shown 
below, each display reflects a stage of the sequence. If the last display shows the idle screen, the 
power up was successful; if the last display shows No Service, the unit is out of range or there is a 
hardware or software problem.
If the vibrate function is enabled for incoming phone calls, voice mail, or message mail, the power-
up sequence includes a 500 ms. vibrate cycle. Depending upon your service provider, the power-up 
sequence screens may differ from those shown.
