Icon Meaning

AirCard not detected (displayed in the left part of the Connection Status

Area).

The Signal Strength indicator (displayed in the left part of the

Connection Status Area) uses bars to show the intensity of the radio

signal of the CDMA network. The number of bars increases as signal

strength increases to a maximum of five bars.

When the bars are dimmed and the antenna icon is crossed out, no

connection is possible for one of these reasons:

• No antenna is attached

• You are outside the CDMA network coverage area

• The signal strength is too weak

• A network or account problem is preventing the AirCard from

obtaining service

Note: Optimal signal strength is obtained when the antenna is

perpendicular to the AirCard.

Indicates whether 1X is available in this area. (Not displayed if 1xEV-DO

is available).

The Roaming Status indicator shows whether you are roaming onto the

network of a service provider other than your own.

When the indicator is off (gray), you are within the local coverage area

of your service provider. When the indicator is on (solid black), you are

in a “preferred” roaming area. When the indicator is blinking, you are

within the coverage area of a CDMA network but not in a “preferred”

roaming area.

Your coverage area and account charges depend upon your service

provider and the type of account you have. There may be surcharges

for roaming service that vary based on whether you are in a preferred or

non-preferred roaming area. If there is no roaming agreement between

your service provider and the local carrier, you may be unable to

complete calls.

WiFi device not detected (displayed in the right part of the Connection

Status Area).
