2. Set up your phone

Antenna

Your phone has both an internal
and external antenna. The wireless
signal antenna is external and
located toward the top of the
phone. To improve the signal
strength on your phone, extend
the external antenna as far as
possible while in use. An internal
GPS antenna is activated when
you place an emergency call or
when you select

Location On

from the

Location

menu.

See "Security," p. 44.

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

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. Not
touching the antenna area during a phone call optimizes the antenna performance
and battery life.

Replace the battery

The battery is built into the back cover of your phone.

Note: Always switch the device off, and disconnect the charger before
removing the battery.
