If you have a phone and it’s not working properly, there are a few ways to try to fix it. If you can’t find your phone or if it’s not working at all, here are some tips on how to deactivate your phone.

  1. Look for the power button on the front of your phone. If it’s not there, look for the reset button in the back of your phone.
  2. Turn off your phone by pressing and holding the power button and then turning off your device completely.
  3. Remove any batteries from your device by pressing and holding one battery at a time until they pop out (do not remove them all at once). Place each battery in a new container or bag to avoid touching them together).
  4. Place your device in a safe place like an unlocked cupboard or drawer so that you can’t reach it if you need to turn it on again soon (or if someone else needs to turn it on for you).
