About your phone
• ABOUT THE ANTENNAS
Your phone is equipped with two
antennas. The internal antenna is always
active. The whip antenna is activated
when the whip antenna is fully extended.
As with any other radio transmitting
device, do not touch either of the two
antennas unnecessarily when the phone
is switched on. Contact with the antenna
affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level
than otherwise needed. Not touching the
antenna area during a phone call
optimizes the antenna performance and
the talk time of your phone.
While in a call, hold the phone to your
ear, placing your finger tips on the Nokia
badge at the mid-center of the back
cover (located below the antenna area on
the back of your phone).
