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 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. Section 15: Health and Safety Information 163

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 phone returns to standby mode.

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
