Displayed Messages and Explanations

The signal is too weak to make a call. Try again when the signal strength is one bar or stronger.

Your phone is searching for a mobile service pro- vider.

You called a number for which you have set call restrictions.

You entered an incorrect security code. Enter the correct security code.

The battery power is low. The indicator light will flash red. When the phone shuts itself off, replace the battery with a fully charged one, or use an alter- nate power source, such as a travel charger.

Problems and Possible Solutions

The phone does not turn On.

Charge or replace the battery.

The phone is not ringing when a call is received.

Check the SOUNDS menu to make sure the phone is not set for Phone Silent. If your phone is not set for Phone Silent, check Call Screening to make sure that Call Screening has not been selected for a particular Phone Group.

The phone becomes warm during long calls.

This is not a problem. Because of its size, the phone may feel slightly warm during extended calls.

The battery does not seem to charge to full capac- ity.

Condition the battery by fully discharging and charging it three times. Or, if your phone came with a desktop charger, use the conditioning function on the desktop charger to condition the battery.

Calls are being dropped.

You are probably in a geographic area with minimal service. Wait until the signal strength indicator in your phone's display shows a high relative signal strength (more bars) before trying a call. Make note of geographic locations where calls are dropped and contact your service provider.
