•  Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in 

your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.

•  Do  not  store  or  carry  flammable  liquids,  gases  or 

explosive materials in the same compartment as the 

phone, its parts or accessories.

•  For  vehicles  equipped  with  an  air  bag,  remember 

that an air bag inflates with great force. Do not place 

objects, including both installed or portable wireless 

equipment in the area over the air bag or in the air bag 

deployment area. If wireless equipment is improperly 

installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could 

result.

•  Switch your phone off before boarding an aircraft. The 

use of wireless phone in aircraft is illegal and may be 

dangerous to the aircraft’s operation.

•  Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the 

suspension  or  denial  of  telephone  services  to  the 

offender, or legal action, or both.

Product Performance

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 

Health and safety information

phone returns to standby mode.

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. 

When  it’s  turned  on,  it  receives  and  transmits  radio 

frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the 

system handling your call controls the power level. This 

power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital 

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.
•  Hold  the  phone  with  the  antenna  raised,  fully-

extended and over your shoulder.

• Try not to hold, bend or twist 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.
