PRODUCT PERFORMANCE
Getting the Most Out of Your Signal Reception
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength
in your area. Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by
displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars
displayed, the stronger the signal.
If you’re inside a building, being near a window may give you
better reception.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power
Save feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it periodically
rechecks service availability or you can check it yourself by pressing any key.
Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message displays on
the screen.
When a signal is found, your phone returns to standby mode.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on,
it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your
phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This power
can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should service
your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
• If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, hold the phone
with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and over your shoulder.
• Do not hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna, if applicable.
• Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
• If your phone is equipped with an internal antenna, obstructing the
internal antenna could inhibit call performance.
• Speak directly into the phone’s receiver.
• Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your
phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the
battery. If it is inoperable, call Customer Care for service.
