Important usage information
Signal Strength
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 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.
Allow only qualified personnel to service your phone
Allowing unqualified personnel to service your phone may result in
damage to your phone and will void your warranty.
Ensure maximum battery and charger life
• Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as overcharging
may shorten battery life.
• Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be
recharged before use.
• Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use.
• Use batteries only for their intended purpose.
Handle SIM and memory cards with care
• Do not remove a card while the phone is transferring or
accessing information, as this could result in loss of data and/or
damage to the card or phone.
• Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical
noise from other devices.
• Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life span of memory
cards.
