If your phone does not detect service at power up, the message Searching
for service will be displayed. The phone will continue to search for available
service for 15 minutes, at which time it will display No service if none is
found. The phone will periodically continue to search for service.
Note: The phone will not work in analog mode while searching for digital
service.
Checking signal strength
When at the start screen (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 will move up as the strength of the signal increases
and down as it decreases.
Increasing your phone’s signal may be easy. Try moving your phone slightly,
or move towards a window if you’re calling from inside a building.
