I can’t use the wireless 
features

Make sure your PCS Treo 300 battery is charged.
©
Make sure wireless mode is on. To turn on wireless 
mode, press and hold the power button for at least 
two seconds, until you hear a confirmation tone. 
An ascending tone means wireless mode is now on, 
a descending tone means wireless mode is now off.
My PCS Treo 300 requires an 
unlocking code, but I didn't 
set one
©
Sprint may have set the locking code before you 
received your PCS Treo 300. Enter the default 
unlocking code and then tap OK. In North 
America, the default unlocking code is usually the 
last four digits of your phone number. If this 
doesn't work, contact Sprint. 
I called Sprint to activate my 
service, but wireless mode 
still doesn’t work
Sometimes it requires 24 hours or more to activate your wireless 
service. If it has been longer than the standard activation 
period, report the problem to your Sprint representative.
My phone number isn't on 
the Phone Info screen
Sprint may need to install your phone number onto your 
phone. Contact your Sprint representative to see if they can send 
a message to your PCS Treo 300 that writes your phone number 
onto your phone.
My PCS Treo 300 won't 
register to the network

You are probably outside a PCS network coverage 
area. Try enabling roaming as described on page 
109 or try another Sprint phone to verify whether 
coverage is available in your current location.

Turn off the wireless mode on your phone, and 
then turn it on again. If a dialog appears asking if 
you want to search for a network, tap Yes.
The voicemail icon appears 
when I don’t have any new 
voice messages.
©
Check your messages to confirm that you’ve 
listened to all your new messages.
©
Turn wireless mode off and then turn it on again.

If the icon still appears, follow these steps:
1. From the Speed Dial, Dial Pad, or Call History view, 
press 
Menu .
2. Under 
Options, select Call Preferences (/A).
3. Tap Clear Voicemail Icon.
4. Hold Option 
 and press Return 
 to finish.
