all about performance and safety
Understanding Signal Strength
The quality of each call you make or receive, is dependent upon the signal
strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by
displaying a icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. The signal
strength indicator ( ) displays in the upper left corner of your display
screen. The voice quality of your phone is always clearest when the antenna is
fully raised. If you’re inside a building, reception may be better near a window.
Understanding the Power Save Mode
If you are trying to use your phone in an area where the signal is too weak, the
Power Save feature automatically activates to conserve battery power when you
have been unable to pick up a signal for 15 minutes. If your phone is on, it
periodically rechecks service availability. To manually check, press any key. A
message is displayed on the screen any time you activate Power Save. 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 is turned on,
it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When your phone is in
use, the system handling your call controls the power level. This power can
range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
