Make and answer calls

Tip: 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 RightWrong 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 the talk time of your phone.

An indicator on the left of the Start screen displays the radio signal strength. More segments mean a stronger signal. To improve reception, move your phone slightly; if you’re indoors, move toward a window.

Your phone is optimized for digital service in a compact size.

Keep calls private

The Voice Privacy feature encrypts the voice channel so that no one can eavesdrop on your phone conversations. Voice Privacy is a feature that must be supported by your service provider. Contact your service provider for more information on this feature.

1Press Menu 4 - 4 -1 (Settings > Network services > Voice privacy).

During a call, Voice Privacy notifies you that it is active with a beep and the message Voice privacy active on the screen. During a call, your phone sounds two short beeps and displays the message Voice privacy not active if voice privacy is lost.
