Getting the Most Out of Your
Reception
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on
the signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you
of the current signal strength by displaying a number of
bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars
displayed, the stronger the signal. If you're inside a
building, being near a window may give you better
reception.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes
of searching, a Power Save feature is automatically
activated. If your phone is active, it periodically rechecks
service availability; you can also check it yourself by
pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is
activated, a message is displayed on the screen. When a
signal is found, your phone returns to Standby mode.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver.
When it's turned on, it receives and transmits
radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone,
the system handling your call controls the power level.
This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in
digital mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with
