Signal Strength Meter
The Signal Strength Meter (SSM) indicates the relative
strength of the signal received by your phone. The SSM is
displayed as shown below. The alone represents the
lowest strength, with each additional representing a
stronger signal.
The SSM appears every time you turn your phone on. After
the display blanks out (after about 16 seconds), the SSM
will “strobe” to indicate that the phone is on. To redisplay
the SSM press any key.
To best utilize the SSM, you should familiarize yourself
with the relative signal strength levels and their associated
call placement and call-in-progress qualities.
Any messages, such as
Loc d
, appearing in the display as
a result of activation of a feature will take priority over
SSM. You will not see the SSM displayed in these cases.
