Using Your Treo 700P Smartphone 267
Phone
I hear static or interference
Check the signal strength indicator in the title bar of the Main View in
the Phone Application. If the signal is weak (few bars are displayed), try
the suggestions about signal strength described in Signal strength is
weak.
If you’re using a Bluetooth hands-free device, try the following:
• Move your smartphone closer to the hands-free device. Audio
quality degrades as the distance between your smartphone and
hands-free device increases. The effective range for a device varies
between manufacturers.
• Confirm that no obstructions, including your body, are between the
smartphone and your hands-free device.
My smartphone hangs up when I hold it to my ear
You may be accidentally pressing the onscreen Hang Up All button with
your cheek. Try holding the smartphone so that your face doesn’t press
against the screen. If this is not convenient, you may want to disable the
screen’s touch-sensitive feature during active calls (see Locking your
screen).
My phone seems to turn off by itself
If a system error and reset occur, the Treo smartphone automatically
turns the phone on if it was on before the reset. However, if the
smartphone can’t determine if your phone was on before the reset, the
phone does not automatically turn on (see Turning your phone on and
off). If the problem persists and you’re using third-party applications,
see Third-party applications
for additional suggestions.
Tip
For best performance,
keep your Bluetooth
headset and phone on
the same side of your
body.
