TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: As with any other radio
transmitting device, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when
the phone is switched on. Contact with the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level
than otherwise needed.
WARNING! Do not switch on the phone when wireless phone use is
prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.
See “Safety At A Glance” on page 1 for more information.
Getting a strong signal
Your phone operates on radio waves, and the quality of
radio reception depends on the strength of the radio
signal in your area. This radio coverage is maintained by
a wireless network and the quality of calls on a wireless
phone depends on the strength of the wireless radio
signal.
If your phone does not detect service at power up, the
message
Searching for service
will be displayed. The
phone will continue to search for available service for 15
minutes, at which time it will display
No service
if none
is found.
