■Antenna
Your phone has two antennas:
• The whip antenna is active when fully
extended (1).
• The internal antenna is always active (2).

calls or when On is selected from the Location info sharing menu. For more information
on location info sharing, see Location info sharing, 47.

Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna area
pointed up and over your shoulder.

not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the device is
