Is your battery charged? Is the battery level indicator showing in the display?

The battery level indicator should have at least one segment showing. If it does not, recharge your battery. See page 20.

Do you have a valid SIM card inserted in your phone?

If necessary, turn off your phone and make sure that you have inserted a valid SIM card. See page 17.

Does the handset have a signal? Is the signal strength indicator showing in the display?

While on a call, press the upper volume key on the side of your phone. ###189

Is the phone set to the proper frequency band for your geographical region?

Phones in different regions of the world use different frequencies to establish a network connection. You may have to reset your phone's frequency to either 1900 MHz or 900/1800 MHz when you travel to a new location. See page 139.

Is the other party unable to hear you?

Your phone may be muted. Press Right soft key (UNMUTE) if necessary to unmute the phone.

Also, make sure that your phone's microphone is not blocked by its carrying case or a sticker.

Has the phone been damaged, dropped, or gotten wet? Was a non-Motorola battery or battery charger used?

Dropping your phone, getting it wet, or using a non-Motorola battery or battery charger can damage the phone. The phone's limited warranty does not cover liquid damage or damage caused from using non-Motorola accessories. ###190
