Make and answer calls
Check signal strength
When you are at the Start screen or in a call, the strength of the radio
signal is indicated by the signal indicators on the left side of your phone’s
screen. The signal indicators move up as the strength of the signal increases
and down as it decreases. Increasing your phone’s signal may be easy. Try
moving your phone slightly, or move toward a window if you’re calling
from inside a building.
This phone is optimized for digital service in a compact size. Therefore,
when your phone is operating in analog mode, the service area in which
you can place and receive calls may be smaller.
Keep calls private
The Voice Privacy feature encrypts the voice channel so that people
cannot eavesdrop on your phone conversations.
Voice Privacy is a network service, so you must contact your service
provider to obtain access to the feature.
To turn on Voice Privacy:
1
Press Menu 4 > 5 > 1
(Settings > Network services > Voice privacy).
2
Scroll to On and press OK.
During a call, Voice Privacy becomes active and notifies you with a beep.
The message Voice privacy active also appears on the screen.
To turn off Voice Privacy:
Repeat the steps above except, in step 2, scroll to Off.
Note:
If you turn this feature on and Voice Privacy becomes inactive for
any reason, your phone displays the message Voice privacy not
active and beeps.
