2. Set up your phone
■ Antenna
Your device has a fixed and extendable antenna located
towards the top of the phone when the fold is closed. Hold
the phone as you would any other telephone with the
antenna area pointed up and over your shoulder.
The fixed antenna is active unless the extendable antenna is
fully extended.
Note: Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic
materials may be attracted to the device, and persons
with a hearing aid should not hold the device to the
ear with the hearing aid. Always secure the device in
its holder, because metallic materials may be attracted by the earpiece.
Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the
device, because information stored on them may be erased.
In the Nokia 6256i phone, the GPS antenna is also
internal and is activated when placing emergency calls
or when On is selected from the Location info sharing
menu. For more information, see "Location info sharing,"
p. 64.
Note: As with any other radio transmitting
device, do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the device 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. Not touching the antenna area
during a phone call optimizes the
antenna performance and the talktime
of your device.
