• ABOUT THE ANTENNA

Your phone has a built-in antenna. 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 call optimizes the antenna performance and the talk time of your phone.

Check signal strength

Your wireless phone operates on radio signals. The quality of calls on your phone depends on the strength of the radio signal coverage in your area. This radio signal coverage is maintained by a wireless network.

When you are at the phone’s Start screen or on a call, the strength of the radio signal is indicated by the signal indicator on the left side of your phone’s screen. This indicator moves up as the strength of the signal increases and down as it decreases.

Increasing your phone’s signal reception may be relatively easy. Try moving your phone slightly or move toward a window if you’re calling from inside a building.
