signal will generally be stronger when the phone is near a window.

In a Vehicle

It is possible to receive data calls from your vehicle. Operation from a moving vehicle may not be satisfac- tory because data may be lost when your call is trans- ferred from one mobile base station to another. Be sure to give full attention to driving and pull off the road and park before making or receiving calls, if driving condi- tions so require.

Transmission Disturbances

Brief interruptions of mobile telephone signals that would not be bothersome during a voice call may cause problems during data operation, depending upon the error correction capabilities of the software being used. Such interruptions are uncommon during stationary operation, but can be caused by vehicles or people pass- ing nearby, especially in areas of low signal strength. You can use the signal strength indicator on your phone to verify that you have a good signal path.
