Getting the Most Out of Your Signal Reception
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal
strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the current signal
strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon.
The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal.
If you're inside a building, being near a window may give you better
reception.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a
Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it
periodically rechecks service availability or you can check it yourself by
pressing any key.
Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message displays on the
screen. When a signal is found, your phone returns to standby mode.
Maintaining Your Phone's Peak Performance
For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should service
your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
Place the mobile phone's acoustic output next to your ear for
proper orientation.
Do not tamper or alter the phone's antenna.
Don't use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
Speak directly into the phone's receiver.
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills.
If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and
remove the battery. If it is inoperable, call Customer Care for
service.

Battery Standby and Talk Time
Standby and talk times will vary depending on phone usage patterns and
conditions. Battery power consumption depends on factors such as
network configuration, signal strength, operating temperature, features
selected, frequency of calls, and voice, data, and other application usage
patterns.
Battery Precautions
