When switching on, if your phone has an extendible antenna, extend the antenna fully. As with any other radio transmit- ting device, avoid unnecessary contact with the antenna when the phone is switched on.

Push in the antenna when you are not using the phone.

The phone carries out a short self-test and briefly displays the phone number in use.

A Personal Reminder Note appears if you have pro- grammed one with Menu 4 5. Press left ñ(Keep) to save it or right ñ(Erase) to delete it.

The phone can make and receive calls only when it is switched on and is located in the cellular net- work’s service area.

The phone automatically switches itself off if the operating temperature exceeds 158°F (70°C).

Signal Strength

The stronger the radio signal, the better the call quality. The higher the column on the left side of the phone display, the better the signal at your location.

If the signal strength is not good, try moving the phone slightly. In a building, reception may be better near a window.

Access Codes

Your phone uses a Security Code or Lock Code to help protect against unauthorized use of the phone.

Note: Avoid using access codes similar to emergency numbers such as 911 to prevent accidental dialing of the emergency number.
