TROUBLESHOOTING

Omnipoint services are 100% digital, so they’re more reliable than conventional cellular phone service.

But because your handset operates over radio frequencies, you may experience difficulties in some locations – therefore you should never rely solely upon your handset for essential communications in emergencies. (See your Ericsson User’s Manual for additional important information.)

Here’s a quick set of notes and troubleshooting tips.

If you have a weak signal or see the message “No Network” on your handset display:

>If you’re inside a building, try moving close to an outside window.

If your long distance call won’t go through:

>Remember to enter plus area code if calling long distance.

If you have a poor connection:

>The problem may be at the other end; press to cancel the connection and place your call again.

>You may be calling from a fringe coverage area. Check your coverage map. Notify Omnipoint Customer Care if you consistently have trouble in a particular location.

If you hear a tone while on a call:

>Your battery may be low. A long tone warns you that about a minute of calling power remains.

>Another call may have come in for you. (See p. 37 for notes on how to use Call Waiting/Call Hold.)

If your handset or SIM Card is lost or stolen:

>Don’t delay! Notify Omnipoint Customer Care immediately at 1-888-OMNI-611. We can deactivate your SIM and help prevent unauthorized use.
