The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Your phone must have an adequate signal before you can place or receive calls. The icon displays six vertical bars for a strong signal. If the icon displays fewer than three bars, the signal is weak.
Tip When the phone receives a weak signal, the phone displays this warning message, "Weak signal detected" and sends a warning tone or vibration as specified in your active profile. See the Configuring User Profiles, page 37 for more information.
