Reference information

handover may also occur when the user is stationary due to varying cellular traffic loads. Such handovers may cause delays.

Dead spots and dropouts

Dead spots are areas where radio signals cannot be received. Dropouts occur when the car kit phone user passes through an area where the radio signal is blocked or reduced by geographic or man-made obstructions such as hills or high buildings. The consequences may be interruptions in service or the connection may fail.

Low signal strength

Due to either distance from a base station or obstacles between your car kit phone and the base station, the radio signal strength from a cell site may not be strong or stable enough to provide a reliable cellular connection for trouble-free reception or transmission. Therefore, to ensure the best possible communication, remember to take the following points into consideration when using your car kit phone:

Data and fax transmission will work best when the car is stationary as this ensures that the signal strength will remain constant. Attempting cellular communication while in a moving vehicle is not recommended. Fax transmission is more easily impaired than data or short message transmission.

Check the signal strength on your car kit phone display. If the cellular signals are not strong enough to support a voice call, data connection should not be attempted until you can find a location with better reception.
