Achieving Best Performance
Charging your Battery
Both your mobile phone and your laptop computer
batteries should be well-charged before starting data
operation. This will help you avoid interruptions due to
loss of power.
You can charge your phone’s battery with an Sony
Ericsson or Ericsson charger during data/fax operation as
previously described.
Signal Strength
It is important to maintain a good signal path between the
phone and the mobile telephone system when making
data calls. Signals will generally be stronger when the
phone is in an upright position. If you are indoors, your
signal will generally be stronger when the phone is near a
window.
In a Vehicle
It is possible to receive data calls when inside your
vehicle. Operation from a moving vehicle may not be
satisfactory because data may be lost when your call is
transferred from one mobile base station to another. Be
sure to give full attention to driving and pull off the road
and park before making or receiving calls, if driving
conditions so require.
Transmission Disturbances
Brief interruptions of mobile telephone signals that would
not be bothersome during a voice call may cause
problems during data operation, depending upon the error
correction capabilities of the software being used. Such
interruptions are uncommon during stationary operation,
but can be caused by vehicles or people passing nearby,
especially in areas of low signal strength. You can use the
signal strength indicator on your phone to verify that you
have a good signal path.
