Adjust the earpiece volume

The top scroll key increases volume, and the bottom one decreases the
volume. The scroll keys only adjust volume during phone calls.

Get a strong signal
Your phone operates on radio waves, and the reception quality depends
on the radio signal strength in your area. A wireless network maintains
the radio coverage, and the quality of calls on a wireless phone depends
on the wireless radio signal strength.

Tip: For best results, fully extend the antenna. As with all radio transmitting
devices, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is
on. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level.
An indicator on the left of the Start screen displays the radio signal strength.
More segments mean a stronger signal. To improve reception, move your
phone slightly; if you’re indoors, move toward a window.
Your phone is optimized for digital service in a compact size. When your
phone operates in analog mode, the service area where you can make and
receive calls may be smaller.
Keep calls private
The Voice Privacy feature encrypts the voice channel so that no one can
eavesdrop on your phone conversations. Voice Privacy is a network service,
so you must contact your service provider to access the feature.
By default, the voice privacy setting on your phone is set to Off. To turn
it on:
1
Press Menu 4 > 4 >1 (Settings > Network services > Voice privacy).
2
Scroll to On, then press OK.
During a call, Voice Privacy notifies you that it is active with a beep and
the message Voice privacy active on the screen. During a call, your phone
sounds two short beeps and displays the message Voice privacy not active
if voice privacy is lost.
