antenna may lower radio reception.
QWhat is the range of my wireless
connection?
AA wireless connection can be used

affected by the usage environment,
such as the vehicle type, the system

paired?

QWhy is call quality sometimes poor?
ACheck your mobile phone′s
reception sensitivity when call
quality deteriorates. The call quality
may deteriorate when the signal
strength is low.
Call quality may also become poor
if metal objects, such as beverage
cans, are placed near the mobile
phone. Check to see if any metal
objects are near the mobile phone.
The call sound and quality may
differ depending on the type of
mobile phone.
