A system ( 130 ) and method ( 500 ) of operating a main display ( 301 ) in a radio ( 300 ) can monitoring ( 502 ) a use characteristic of the radio. Such use characteristics being monitored can include use of an internal speaker or an external speaker, an open angle ( 303 ) of the radio, a type of call, a time of day, a user location, a Caller ID, a holster status, a headset status, a cradle status, a network status, a prepaid minute status, a bus status, or a volume level status). The method can further selectively deactivate ( 504 ) the main display based on the use characteristic. In one example, the radio can selectively deactivate ( 508 ) the display or backlights when the flip portion is opened to answer the incoming call. The main display (or backlight) can also be selectively activated ( 510 ) upon a user button selection if a user desires such activation.
