external power source such as the cigarette lighter
adapter or car kit.

indicator light (LED) at the top of the phone flashes.

unnecessary contact with the antenna while your
phone is turned on.
Signal Strength
The quality of a call depends on the strength of the sig-
nal supplied by the operator.The phone shows its signal
strength through bars, located at the left top of the
screen. If there are more bars (a maximum of six), the
phone holds more signal strength. If the signal strength
is not satisfactory, try to change the position with the
phone. If you are in a building, try to be near to a win-
dow, where the reception of the signal may be better.
In some places such as : tunnels, elevators, basements
and garages, there may be limitation of the signal sup-
plied by the operator.
