Signal Strength
Call quality depends on the signal strength in your area.
The signal strength is indicated on the screen as the
number of bars next to the signal strength icon: The
more bars, the better the signal strength. If the signal
quality is poor, move to an open area. If you are in a
building, the reception may be better near a window.
Screen Icons
When the phone is powered on, the top line of the LCD
screen displays icons indicating the status of the phone.
To see the icons, go to Menu-> Settings-> Phone Info->
Icon Glossary.
Note
Like any other radio device, avoid any unnecessary contact
with the antenna while your phone is on.
Tip
To clean the faceplate, remove it and wipe it with a damp
cloth. Use a mild soap or detergent to remove stains. After
drying the faceplate thoroughly, replace it on the phone.
