4.6 What is standby mode?
Your phone is in standby mode when it is
idle. The standby screen displays the handset
name, the handset number, the date and
time, the signal icon, and the battery icon.
4.7 Checking the signal strength
The signal icon displays the link status
between your handset and the base
station. A steady icon means your
handset and the base station are linked. A
flashing icon means your handset and the
base station are not linked.
If you move too far away from the base
station while you are on the phone, you
will hear warning tones notifying you that
your handset is almost out of range - lost
link. Take your handset closer to the base
station or your call may be cut off shortly
after the warning.
Note
If your handset has lost link, you will not
be able to make or receive any calls. You
will also not be able to carry out many of
the phone's functions and features.
