2. Set up your phone
■Antenna
Your phone has both an internal
and external antenna. The wireless signal
antenna is external and located toward
the top of the phone. To improve the signal strength on your phone, extend the external antenna
as far as possible
while in use. An internal GPS antenna is activated when you place an emergency call or when you select Location On from the Location menu. See "Security," p. 67.
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna area pointed up and over your shoulder.
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.
Not touching the antenna area during a phone call optimizes the antenna performance and battery life.
