Appendix I Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible causes

Possible solution

Poor
reception

The network signal is too
weak at your current location,
for example, in a basement or
near a tall building, because
wireless transmissions cannot
effectively reach it.

Move to a location where the
network signal can be properly
received.

The network is busy at the
current time, for example,
during peak times, because
there may be too much
network traffic to handle
additional calls.

Avoid using the phone at such time,
or try again after waiting a short
time.
You are too far away from a
base station for your service
provider.

You can request a service area
map from your service provider.

Echo or
noise

Poor network trunk quality on
the part of your service
provider.

Press the ending key and dial
again. You may be switched to a
better-quality network trunk or
phone line.

Poor local telephone line
quality

Press the ending key and dial
again. You may be switched to a
better-quality network trunk or
phone line.

Battery not
charging
properly

The battery or battery charger
is damaged.

Contact the dealer.

high temperature
environments, battery life will
be shortened.

Use a new battery.

If you are not able to connect
to the network, the phone will
continue to send out signals
as it attempts to locate a base
station. Doing so consumes
battery power and will
consequently shorten standby
time.

Change your location to one where
the network is accessible, or
temporarily turn off your phone.

You cannot
switch your
phone on.

Battery power has been
exhausted.

Recharge the battery.
