• Make a call
The Nokia 8890 has both a fixed, internal antenna and a retractable 
antenna. When using the antenna in the extended position
• extend the antenna fully
• retract the antenna when you’re not using the phone
Note:
The position of the antenna does not affect the functioning of 
the phone.
Check the signal strength
The signal indicator on the left side of your phone’s screen 
shows the strength of the network radio signal. The indicator 
scrolls as the signal strength increases and decreases. To get 
the strongest signal, try moving your phone slightly. If you’re 
inside a building, move toward a window.
