Checking signal strength
When at the start screen (see page 10) or in a
call, the strength of the radio signal is
indicated by the signal indicators on the left
side of your phone’s display. These indicators
will move up as the strength of the signal
increases and down as it decreases.
Increasing your phone’s signal may be easy. Try moving
your phone slightly, or move towards a window if you’re
calling from inside a building.

enter the phone number (including area code, as needed)

Editing a number on display

to the right. Press Clear to delete the character to the left
of the cursor.
