Reading the Indicators
Signal Strength Indicator (1)
The Signal Strength Indicator (SSI) tells you the strength of 
the connection between your phone and the local cellular 
system. A strong signal increases your chances of placing 
and receiving calls. You may see low signal strength if 
you’re in a fringe area of the cellular system. Buildings, 
tunnels, and bad weather could block or interfere with 
reception. If the display goes blank to conserve energy, the 
SSI’s lights flash one at a time up to the signal level you are 
receiving.
