If the LCD is still dark, use the USB to Micro B cable to connect the device to the AC charger or to 
a computer.

If you have insufficient signal strength, the icon 

 is displayed (on the left side of the home 

page).

Insufficient signal strength may occur because:

●

You are outside the network coverage area.

●

Your device’s internal antenna is pointing in the wrong direction.

●

You are in or near a structure that is blocking the signal.

●

You are near a device that is causing radio signal interference.

●

A network or account problem is preventing you from obtaining service.
