 
Checking signal strength
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 net-
work and the quality of calls on a wireless phone 
depends on the strength of the wireless radio signal.
Get a strong signal
When you are at the start screen (see page 
14) or in a call, the strength of the radio signal 
is indicated by the signal indicators on the left 
side of your phone’s display. These indicators 
scroll as the strength of the signal increases 
and decreases.

Improving your phone’s reception may be easy. 
Try moving your phone slightly, or move towards a win-
dow if you’re calling from inside a building.
