If your phone is powered on and service is lost, the message Wait for service will be displayed along with a scrolling bar. The phone will continue to search for available service for 15 minutes at which time it will display No service if none is found.
Note: The phone will not work in analog mode while searching for digital service.
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.
Making a call

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
