Antenna; Keyguard; Make Calls - Nokia 6170 User Manual

• Antenna

Hold the phone as you would any other telephone.
Your phone has an internal antenna.
Note: As with any other radio transmitting
device, do not touch the antenna area
unnecessarily when the device is switched
on. Contact with the antenna area affects
call quality and may cause the phone to
operate at a higher power level than
otherwise needed. Avoiding contact with the
antenna area when operating the phone
optimizes the antenna performance and the
battery life.

• Keyguard

With keyguard, you can lock the keypad to prevent keys from being pressed
accidentally. See "Security keyguard" on page 54.
If the keypad is locked, it unlocks when you receive a call. After a call, the lock
automatically reactivates.
To lock the keypad, at the start screen, select Menu >
To unlock the keypad, at the start screen, select Unlock >
security code if required.
Note: When keyguard is on, calls may be possible to the emergency
number programmed into your phone (for example, 911). Key in the
emergency number, and press Call. The number is displayed only after
you have keyed in its last digit.
