Signal strength
The current mobile network signal
strength can be ascertained by viewing
Network in the Status menu.
The radio antennae are located at the
top corners and along the bottom of the
MP02. Avoid covering these areas
during calls, especially when there is
limited mobile signal.
Signal strength has a major impact on
battery life. If a mobile phone is used in
an area with low signal, it has to
transmit with higher power. If a phone
is being used indoors, signal strength
can sometimes be improved by using
the phone near a window or in another
part of the building.
1 VoLTE: The carrier network needs to support this
service
2 APN: An APN is used for making a data connection.
Not all network providers allow the APN settings to be
edited/modified, and the parameters must be entered
exactly as specified by them.
Mobile network provider settings
With a SIM is inserted, each time the
MP02 is switched on it automatically
chooses a network provider according to
information contained within the SIM.
This can be overridden by choosing a
network provider manually. There are a
number of other settings that in some
cases may need to be changed.
The name of the network provider
currently in use can be viewed by
highlighting Network in the Status menu.
This may sometimes be different to the
contracted network provider, as providers
often collaborate to ensure coverage.
Manual network selection can be useful
near national borders, to avoid
connection with a foreign provider and
thereby incurring unnecessary roaming
charges. Conversely, this may be
preferable in situations where the local
provider’s signal is too weak.
To change network settings, from the
Main menu, select Settings, then
Connectivity, then Network. If necessary,
the following settings can be changed.
