Range
In a typical office environment where there are some obstacles,
the WLAN coverage area is approximately 15 ~ 30 meters. A better
coverage distance could be achieved in more open areas. The cover-
age area is, however, truly dependent on the office environment
characteristics (e.g. construction material of walls, metallic objects,
doors, windows, stair-wells, etc). Other radio equipment could also
affect the coverage area. The coverage area will be unique for each
office environment..
Signal Strength
Call quality depends on the signal strength in your area. The signal
strength is indicated on the screen as the number of bars next to the
Antenna icon. The more bars shown, the better the signal strength.
If the phone is out of range of your access point, "Out of range" will
be displayed on the screen. If you go out of access point range, the
connection will be lost. When in range again, you can reconnect.
Access Point Probing
The phone has an ability to detect all reachable access points. Your
phone's display shows a list of the SSIDs configured in the access
points from which to choose (50 maximum).
To detect an access point:
►
In standby mode, press navigation key up to search wireless LAN
around your phone.
•
After a few seconds, the list of SSIDs configured in the access
points are displayed. You can choose one of them under this
preference.
Caller ID
Caller ID lets you know who is calling by displaying the number of
the person calling when your phone rings.
Cleaning Phone
Use the soft cloth to gently wipe the display screen and the case.
