8. PROBLEMS YOU CAN SOLVE
Hardware Concerns
The phone does not turn on
If the phone is new, see “Charging the Battery” on
page 12. Otherwise, recharge or replace the
battery. If this does not solve the problem, contact
your network service provider.
The phone does not work with the
handsfree adapter
A battery is required to use the handsfree
adapter; verify a charged battery is installed on
the back of the phone. Verify the phone is
attached to the adapter.
Dropped calls
The signal strength will depend on your location.
Check the received signal strength indicator
,
make sure your antenna is fully extended, and try
again after the signal strength increases (another
bar appears). In addition to geographic location,
the signal will weaken behind walls, under bridges,
in tunnels, or other obstructions.
Volume varies/mutes briefly
The system’s signal strength will vary depending
on your location. Audio level variations can occur
due to:
a) a weak signal (see “Dropped calls”).
b) high speed travel.
