Cingular Telephone PPC 6600 User Manual

Phone Test Mode Overview  
If you do not see your phone model listed:  
• Try using the field test mode for other phones from the same manufacturer.  
• Not all phones have a user accessible field test mode. In particular, many GSM phones.  
• Some carriers lock out/remove field test mode.  
• If the code for your phone is not listed then we do not know what it is.  
What the numbers mean:  
Signal strength is a number ranging from roughly -50 to -105 (your  
phone may show as a positive number).  
Closer to zero means a better signal, i.e. -50 is better than -100.
