Tip: Your phone has a built-in antenna.
As with any other radio transmitting
device, do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the phone is
switched on.
Contact with the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the phone to
operate at a higher power level than
otherwise needed.
Not touching the antenna during a call

talk-time of your phone. Normal position: Hold
the phone as you would any other telephone.
