About the antenna
Your Nokia phone has a fixed-length antenna. Do not attempt
to extend or remove it.
Normal position
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the
antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
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.
Checking signal strength
Your phone operates on radio waves. Radio signal coverage is
maintained by a wireless network, and the quality of calls on
your phone depends on the strength of the wireless radio signal.
Get a strong signal
When you are at the start screen (see page 7) or in
a call, the strength of the radio signal is indicated
by the signal indicators on the left side of your
phone’s display. These indicators scroll as the
signal strength increases and decreases.
