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).
