service provider for testing.
The SIM card is inserted
improperly.
Insert the SIM card properly.
Dirt or dust on the SIM card’s
metal contacts.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean
the SIM card’s metal contacts.
Poor reception The network signal is too weak
at your current location, for
example, in a basement or near
a tall building. Wireless
transmissions can not
effectively reach it.
Move to a location where the
network signal can be properly
received.
The network is busy at the
current time (for example,
during peak times, there may
be too much network traffic to
handle additional calls).
Avoid using the device at such
times, or try again after waiting
a short time.
You are too far away from a
base station for your service
provider.
You can request a service area
map from your service
provider.

Troubleshooting 127
Shortened standby time The length of standby time is
affected by your service
provider’s system
configuration. The same
device used with different
service providers' systems does
not have the same length of
standby time.
If you are located in an area
where the network signal is
weak, temporarily turn off your
device.
The battery is depleted. In
high-temperature
environments, battery life will
be shortened.
Use a new battery.
If you are not able to connect
to the network, the device will
continue to send out signals as
it attempts to locate a base
station. Doing this consumes
battery power and
consequently shortens standby
time.
Change your location to one
where the network is
accessible, or temporarily turn
off your device.
Messaging problems
Unable to send or receive
text messages.
Your device is in Airplane
mode with no wireless
connectivity.
Touch the status area on the
status bar and clear the
Airplane mode checkbox.
The signal strength is not
strong enough.
Try moving to a different
location for better signal
reception.
