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.

Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended and over your
shoulder.

Try not to hold, bend or twist the phone's antenna.

Don't use the phone if the antenna is damaged.

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.
