A more comprehensive description of your phone is covered in “Features A to Z” starting on page 21.

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: As with any other radio transmitting device, do not touch the antenna 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.
WARNING! Do not switch on the phone when wireless phone use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.
See “Safety At A Glance” on page 6 for more information.
