Get a strong signal
When you are at the start screen (see page 9) 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 
signal strength increases and decreases.
To improve your phone’s reception, try moving your phone 
slightly. If you’re inside a building, move toward a window.
