Nokia 2190 Cell Phone User Manual


 
3. The Basics
Switching On or Off
Press and hold the P button.
When switching on, extend the antenna
fully. As with any other radio transmitting
device, avoid unnecessary contact with
the antenna when the phone is switched
on.
The phone displays a Reminder Note if you have
programmed one with Menu 9 1. Press Keep to save it
or Erase to delete it. The phone may also display a
Welcome Message preprogrammed in your SIM card.
If there is not a SIM card in the phone, you will be
prompted to insert it. Switch off the phone and insert
the card. If you get the message INVALID SIM CARD,
contact your dealer or operator.
Signal Strength
The stronger the radio signal, the
better the call quality. The higher the
column on the left side of the phone
display, the better the signal at your
location.
If the signal strength is not good, try
moving the phone slightly. In a building, reception may
be better near a window.
If you are in the service area of a PCS1900 network
that can serve you, the network operator’s name and
the indicator appear.
Note: The phone can make and receive calls only when
it is switched on, has a valid SIM card inserted and is
located in the PCS1900 network’s service area.
However, calls to the emergency number 911 can
usually be made without the SIM card. Check with your
network operator.
