Usage guidelines:
All about performance
and safety.
Keeping tabs on signal strength.
First of all, the voice quality of your Sprint PCS Phone will always
be at its best when the antenna is fully raised. If you’re inside a
building, reception may be better near a window.
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the
signal strength in your area. Your phone will inform you of the
current strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal
strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal.
(See page 12 for an illustration of the signal strength indicators.)
Understanding Power Save mode.
If you’re trying to use your phone in an area where the signal is
too weak, the Power Save feature will automatically activate to
conserve battery power when you’ve been unable to pick up a
signal for 15 minutes. If your phone is on, it will periodically
recheck service availability, or you can do so yourself manually
by pressing any key. A message will be displayed on the screen
any time Power Save has been activated.
