T roubleshooting
Q: How do I remove the message envelope symbol
on the screen?
A: The message envelope symbol indicates that a new
text message has been received. You must check your
text messages to ensure that all new messages have
been viewed. You may then delete or save any
messages, and the envelope symbol should no longer be
visible.
!
When someone leaves you a voice message, the
voicemail system automatically sends a text
message to notify you. Your phone will display an
envelope symbol, indicating a new text message has
been received. Once you have viewed this message,
the message envelope symbol is removed.
!
To read and delete text messages, follow the
instructions under Text Messaging. Please note that
the text message envelope symbol will be displayed
until all text messages have been saved or deleted.
Q: I am not able to receive a signal. What should I
do?
A: Ensure that your antenna is fully rotated, that you
have a clear view of the sky. Check the signal strength
meter; if the signal is weak, move into an open area. If
you are inside a building, move next to a window.
Q: The message envelope symbol is flashing. What
does this mean?
A: There is not enough memory for you to receive
another text message. Follow the instructions under Text
Messaging to read and delete one or more messages.
