A Sprint Nextel two-way phone allows the caller to make wireless and Nextel Direct Connect calls. After the phone is obtained, you might have problems with non-functional buttons.
Frozen Screen
Keys can become non-responsive when a phone is frozen. To fix this, hold down the "End Call" button for a few seconds until the phone powers down. Wait a few seconds, and then hold the "End Call" button until the phone turns on. To reset the power connection, open the USB and audio connector door and remove the battery compartment cover. Pull the battery out, wait a moment and reinsert the battery. Replace the battery cover and shut the USB and audio door.
Key Lock
If buttons are pushed but no screen activity occurs, the keys might be locked. A key lock prevents buttons from accidentally being pushed. The phone settings can be adjusted to automatically activate the button lock after a designated time of non-use passes, or the phone is locked manually. To unlock the keys, enter the unlock password.
Text Entry
If you're trying to enter text using the predictive text feature but the wrong letters appear, the text input program might be set to Alpha mode. Change the setting to Word mode to allow text entry using predictive text or T9.
