Nokia 2190 manual Basics, Switching On or Off, Signal Strength

3. The Basics

Switching On or Off

Press and hold the Pbutton.

When switching on, extend the antenna fully. As with any other radio transmitting device, avoid unnecessary contact with the antenna when the phone is switched on.

PWR

The phone displays a Reminder Note if you have programmed one with Menu 9 1. Press Keep to save it or Erase to delete it. The phone may also display a Welcome Message preprogrammed in your SIM card.

If there is not a SIM card in the phone, you will be prompted to insert it. Switch off the phone and insert the card. If you get the message INVALID SIM CARD, contact your dealer or operator.

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.

If you are in the service area of a PCS1900 network that can serve you, the network operator’s name and the indicator appear.

Note: The phone can make and receive calls only when it is switched on, has a valid SIM card inserted and is located in the PCS1900 network’s service area. However, calls to the emergency number 911 can usually be made without the SIM card. Check with your network operator.
