Out of Area
If you walk outside of the service area while the portable station is in the idle state, the Antenna icon on
the display will disappear. If this happens, go to an area where you can see the Antenna icon again to
receive or place a call.
If you walk outside of the service area while you are talking on the portable station, you will lose the voice
of the other party or start hearing a Range Notify tone. If this happens, go to an area where the signal is
stronger (or where you no longer hear the warning tone).
NOTES:
• You cannot place a call in the service area when you hear a busy tone and see the words CHANNEL
BUSY on the display. This is because other portable stations are using all available channels and there
is no open channel left. Try again later.
• Sometimes [Send] and dial pad keys may not work while you are in the service area. This is because
the portable station is automatically communicating with the base station. Try again later.
• You get better reception if you extend the antenna.
• If you walk outside of the service area while you are talking on the portable station, the call may be
disconnected after you hear a warning tone.
• The building structure (concrete panels, etc.) may reduce the size of the service area.
• You cannot talk on the portable station while you are hearing a Range Notify tone.
