Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it performs abnormally, you can refer to the chart below. If your particular problem cannot be resolved using the information in the chart, contact the dealer where you purchased the phone.
Problem
Poor reception
Possible causes
The network is busy at the current time (for example, during peak times, there may be too much network traffic to handle additional calls).
Possible solution
The network signal is too weak at your current location, for example, in a basement or near a tall building, because wireless transmissions cannot effectively reach it.
Move to a location where the network signal can be properly received.
Avoid using the phone at such times, or try again after waiting a short time.
You are too far away from a base station for your service provider.
You can request a service area map from your service provider.
80
Problem Possible causes
Possible solution
The network link quality is poor on the part of your service provider.
End the call and dial again. You may be switched to a better-quality network link or phone line.
Echo or noise
The quality of the phone line that you are calling is poor.
End the call and dial again. You may be switched to a better-quality network link or phone line.
Unable to select certain features
Your service provider does not support these features, or you have not applied for services that provide these features.
Contact your service provider.
The battery or battery charger is damaged.
Contact the dealer.
Cannot charge the battery
The phone’s temperature is below
0 °C or higher than
45 °C.
The contact between the charging jack and charger is poor.
Adjust the battery charging environment to avoid extremes of temperature.
Check all connectors to ensure that all connections have been properly made.
81
Problem
Shortened standby time
Possible causes
Possible solution
The standby time is related to your service provider system configuration. The same phone used with different service providers’ systems will not provide exactly the same length of standby time.
If you are located in an area where signalling is weak, temporarily power off the phone.
The battery is depleted.
In high temperature environments, battery life will be shortened.
Contact the dealer to change a new battery.
If you are not able to connect to the network, the phone will continue to send out signals as it attempts to locate a base station.
Doing so consumes battery power and will consequently shorten standby time.
Change your location to one where the network is accessible, or temporarily turn off your phone.
Cannot turn your phone on
Battery power has been depleted.
Recharge the phone’s battery.
nano-SIM card error
The nano-SIM card malfunctions or is damaged.
Take the nano-SIM card to your service provider for testing.
82
Problem
Unable to connect to the network
Possible causes
The nano-SIM card is inserted improperly.
There is debris on the nano-SIM card contacts.
The nano-SIM card is invalid.
You are not within the network’s service area.
The signal is poor.
Possible solution
Insert the nano-SIM card properly.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the nano-SIM card contacts.
Contact your service provider.
Check the service area with your service provider.
Move to an open space, or if you are inside a building, move closer to a window.
Cannot answer incoming calls
You have activated the
Call barring feature.
Cannot make outgoing calls
You have activated the
Call barring feature.
You have activated the
Fixed dialling
numbers feature.
Disable this feature.
Disable this feature.
Disable this feature.
83
Problem
PIN Code blocked
Possible causes
You have entered an incorrect PIN code three consecutive times.
Phone crashes, reboots, freeze, or cannot be powered on
Some third-party software is not compatible with your phone.
Possible solution
Contact your service provider.
If the service provider provides the nano-SIM card’s PUK code, use the PUK code to unlock the nano-SIM card.
Uninstall the software that may cause the problem.
Upgrade the phone software.
Reset the phone to factory status.
