Keeping tabs on signal strength

The voice quality of your Sprint PCS PhoneTM will always be at its best when the antenna is fully raised. If you’re inside a building, reception may be better near a window.

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your area. Your phone will inform you of the current strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. (See page 7 for an illustration of the signal strength indicators.)

Understanding Power Save mode

If you’re trying to use your phone in an area where the signal cannot be found, the Power Save feature will automatically activate to conserve battery power when you’ve been unable to pick up a signal for 15 minutes. If your phone is on, it will periodically recheck service availability, or you can do so yourself manually by pressing any key. A message will be displayed on the screen any time Power Save has been activated.
