When the appropriate country code and the  indicator appear on 
the display, the phone is ready for use.
A cellular phone can only make and receive calls when it is switched 
on and the signal strength is adequate.
The phone displays current field strength as a series of bars on the 
left-hand side of its display screen - the more bars, the better the 
signal in your area.
If the signal is poor, you can try moving the phone slightly to 
improve reception. If you are using the phone in a building, you may 
find that the reception is better near a window.
Making a call
• Note: make sure that your phone’s antenna is fully extended.
To make a call:

 will appear on the 
display. The name of the person you are trying to call also 
appears on the display for 5 seconds, if it is stored in the phone’s 
memory. When the number clears from the display and a tone is 
heard, the phone has transmitted the number.
4 Lift the phone to your ear, and wait until your call is answered, 
then speak.
