Notes:

If few or no bars appear (meaning the signal strength is weak) and you want to make or receive a call, move the phone to a different location so the signal strength increases.

When all other display characters disappear to conserve battery power, the signal strength meter flashes and scrolls its bars.

If NS (no service) appears on the upper left side of the dis- play, the phone is outside the cellular service area and you cannot make or receive calls until you reach an area with ser- vice your phone can use.

MAKING A CALL

1.Extend the antenna, flip open the cover, and be sure the phone is on (on and other indicators appear).

2.Press the number keys to enter the phone number you want to dial (including the area code, if necessary). The numbers appear on the display as you press them.

Notes:

If you make a mistake, repeatedly press CLR to delete one digit at a time, or hold down CLR to delete all dig- its.

The phone can display up to 10 characters at once. If you enter (or display a message containing) more than 10 characters, the characters automatically scroll off the left side of the display. Press RCL at any time to recall the overflow characters. See “Any Number Longer Than 10 Digits” on Page 23.
