c. Transmission Disturbances
Brief interruptions of mobile telephone signals that would not be
bothersome during a voice call may cause problems during data
operation, depending upon the error correction capabilities of the
software being used. Such interruptions are uncommon during
stationary operation, but can be caused by vehicles or people passing
nearby, especially in areas of low signal strength. You can use the
signal strength indicator on your phone to verify that you have a
good signal path.
