Checking signal strength
Your phone operates on radio waves. Radio signal coverage
is maintained by a wireless network, and the quality of calls
on your phone depends on the strength of the wireless radio
signal.
Get a strong signal
When you are at the Ready screen or in a call, the
strength of the radio signal is indicated by the
signal strength indicator on the left side of your
phone’s screen. This indicator scrolls up and down
as the signal strength increases and decreases.
To improve your phone’s reception, try moving your phone
slightly. If you’re inside a building, move toward a window.
Making a call
1 Enter the area code and phone
number. (Menu changes to Call.)
2 Press Call and wait for the other
party to answer.
Volume adjustment (earpiece)
To adjust the earpiece volume, press or during a
call. If an accessory with its own loudspeaker is connected
to your phone, the scroll keys adjust the volume for that
accessory.
Muting the microphone
When you are in a call, you can mute the phone’s
microphone by pressing
, pressing Options, and
selecting Mute. To unmute the microphone, press Options
and select Unmute.
