Using Your Phone’s Antenna
Your phone has an external
antenna located towards the
top of the phone with the fold
closed. Extend the antenna
fully. Hold the phone with the
antenna area pointed up and
over your shoulder.
As with any other radio
transmitting phone, do
not touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the
phone is switched on.
Contact with your phone’s antenna affects call quality and
may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than
otherwise needed. Avoiding contact with antenna area when
operating the phone optimizes the antenna performance and
battery life.
An internal GPS antenna is activated when you place an
emergency call or when you select the Location info sharing
mode from the Menu > Settings > Call menu. See “Location Info
Sharing” on page 55.
