Tips on efficient operation
Your phone has a built-in antenna. As with
any other radio transmitting device, do not
touch the antenna unnecessarily 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.
When you avoid touching the antenna area during a
call, you optimize the antenna performance and the
talktime of your phone.
Normal position: Hold the phone as you would any
other telephone.
