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 1 for more information.
Getting a strong signal
Your phone operates on radio waves, and the quality of radio reception depends on the strength of the radio signal in your area. This radio coverage is maintained by a wireless network and the quality of calls on a wireless phone depends on the strength of the wireless radio signal.
If your phone does not detect service at power up, the message Searching for service will be displayed. The phone will continue to search for available service for 15 minutes, at which time it will display No service if none is found.
