Check the signal strength
The signal indicator on the left side of your phone’s screen
shows the strength of the network radio signal. The indicator
scrolls as the signal strength increases and decreases. To get
the strongest signal, try moving your phone slightly. If you’re
inside a building, move toward a window.

Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone, with the antenna pointed up
and over your shoulder.
Tip: As with any other radio transmitting device, do not touch the
antenna when the phone is switched on. Contact with the antenna
affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise needed.
Warning: Do not switch on the phone when wireless phone use is
prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.
