nal power source such as the cigarette lighter charger or car kit.

tor light (LED) at the top of the phone flashes.
Note
As any other communication device, avoid any unnecessary
contact with the antenna while your phone is turned on.
Signal Strength
Call quality is always best when the antenna is fully raised. If
you’re inside a building, being near a window may give you bet-
ter reception.You can see the strength of your signal by the sig-
nal indicator (
) on your phone’s display screen.
Power Save Mode
When the phone is in an area without service for about 15
minutes, it stops searching for service and enters into the
Power Save Mode. When your phone activates this feature,
Power Save is displayed on your screen. The phone automat-
ically checks for service periodically or you can check manual-
ly by pressing any key.
