Signal Strength
Call quality depends on the signal strength in your
area. The signal strength is indicated on the screen as
the number of bars next to the signal strength icon:
The more bars, the better the signal strength. If the
signal quality is poor, move to an open area. If you are
in a building, the reception may be better near a
window.
NOTE: Like any other radio device, avoid any
unnecessary contact with the antenna
while your phone is on.
