Suggestions for a more efficient operation
Foryourphonetooperatemostefficiently:
•Donottouchtheantennaunnecessarily,whenthephoneisinuse.Thecontactwiththe
antennaaffectscallquality,andmaycausethephonetooperateatahigherpowerlevel
thanotherwisewouldbeneed.
Driving
Checkthelawsandregulationsrelatedtotheuseofwirelessphonesintheareaswhereyou
drive.Alwaysobeytheseregulations.Also,ifusingyourphonewhiledriving,makesureto:
