Signal Strength Indication
A cellular phone sends and receives radio signals. As with all radio
equipment, the quality of radio reception depends on the strength of the
radio signal in the area where you are operating your phone.
The strength of the cellular signal is shown by the vertical bar on the
left hand side of the display. The higher the bar, the stronger the
signal at your present location, and the more likely you are to get good
call quality.
When NO SERVICE is displayed, the phone is either outside of the cellular
service area or restricted from entering service, and calls cannot be made
or received.
If the signal is poor and you are using the phone in a building, you may
get better reception near a window.
IMPORTANT: The phone can make and receive calls only when:
It is switched on, and
It is located in the cellular service area, and the radio
signal strength is adequate.
To make an emergency call, see "Emergency Calls" in Faxback Doc. # 52772.
