Solution
Check that your antenna is pointing
straight up and has a clear view of the
sky to conserve battery life.
Set the backlight option to "off" (see
Backlight, page 64).
Replace the battery if it is several
years old.
Check the battery temperature. If
temperatures are too warm or too cold,
battery life is decreased.
Disable the Ring While Stowed
feature.
Rotate and fully extend the antenna.
Ensure that the antenna has a clear
view of the sky.
Check the signal strength indicator.
If "Calling is Restricted" displays,
check the Restrict Phone setting
under the Security menu (see
Restricting the phone, page 55).
Remove all service providers from the
Prohibited List (see Erasing a
Provider from the Prohibited List,
page 83).
