Nokia 6188 manual Making a call, Checking signal strength, Editing a number on display

Page 21

If your phone is powered on and service is lost, the message Wait for service will be displayed along with a scrolling bar. The phone will continue to search for available service for 15 minutes at which time it will display No service if none is found.

Note: The phone will not work in analog mode while searching for digital service.

Checking signal strength

When at the start screen (see page 10) or in a call, the strength of the radio signal is indicated by the signal indicators on the left side of your phone’s display. These indicators will 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 towards a window if you’re calling from inside a building.

Making a call

Your wireless phone does not have a dial tone. Simply enter the phone number (including area code, as needed) and press

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

Editing a number on display

If you make a mistake while entering a number to dial, press V to move the cursor to the left and W to move it to the right. Press Clear to delete the character to the left of the cursor.

Dialing a phone number stored in the phone book

View stored names and numbers by pressing W or V from the start screen (see page 8), then press

Calling card calls

See “Calling card” on page 26.
