Get a strong signal
Your phone operates on radio waves, and the reception quality depends
on the radio signal strength in your area. A wireless network maintains
the radio coverage, and the quality of calls on a wireless phone depends
on the wireless radio signal strength.
[ 16 ]
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
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.
