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.

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.
