NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: As with any other radio
transmitting device, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily
when the phone is switched on. Contact with the antenna
affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a
higher power level than otherwise needed.
WARNING! Do not switch on the phone when wireless phone
use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.
See “Safety At A Glance” on page 6 for more information.
Get a good signal
Your phone operates on radio waves, and the quality of
radio reception depends entirely on the strength of the
radio signal in your area.
This radio coverage is maintained by a wireless network
and the quality of calls on a wireless phone depends on
the strength of the wireless radio signal.
