• 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.
