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.
Making a call
1 Enter the area code and phone
number. (Menu changes to Call.)
2 Press Call and wait for the other
party to answer.
IMPORTANT!
The phone can make and receive calls only when:
• It is switched on,
• It has a valid SIM card installed, and
• It is located in the service area of a GSM 1900 or analog
network (if using the optional analog module) where
your SIM card can be used and the radio signal strength
is adequate.
Making an international call
Enter the + character by pressing twice. Then enter the
country code, area code, and phone number, and press Call.
Adjusting earpiece volume
To adjust the earpiece volume, press or during a
call. If an accessory with its own loudspeaker is connected
to your phone, the scroll keys will adjust the volume for that
accessory.
