• If the phone’s display shows “Insert Card”, check to make sure that the phone’s SIM card is locked in place. This can be checked by removing the battery and ensuring that the SIM card tray is securely positioned
• Protect the antenna by stowing it in the “down position” when not in use. (antenna not extended and rotated back behind phone)
