Battery Charge Level
The battery charge level is shown at the top right of the LCD screen.
When the battery charge level becomes low, the low battery sensor
alerts you in three ways: sounding an audible tone, blinking the
battery icon, and displaying
LOW BATTERY WARNING! If the battery
charge level becomes exceedingly low, the phone automatically
switches off and any function in progress is not saved.
Turning the Phone On and Off
Turning the Phone On
1. Install a charged battery or connect the phone to an
external power source such as a cigarette lighter charger
or hands-free car kit.
2. Press for a few seconds until the LCD screen lights up.
Turning the Phone Off
1. Press and hold until the display turns off.
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.
NOTE: Like any other radio device, avoid any unnecessary
contact with the antenna while your phone is on.
