The In Use indicator shows whether a call is in progress. No icon is displayed when

the AirCard is idle. Otherwise, one of these icons is displayed:

A high-speed (1xEV-DO) packet data call is in progress.

A high-speed (1X) packet data call is in progress.

A circuit switched data call is in progress.

A high-speed (1X or 1xEV-DO) packet data connection is dormant; the

radio channel has been released allowing you to make and receive

voice calls. You can resume data transmission without the need of re-

establishing the connection.

Some applications may not be able to function on a dormant

connection.

A fatal error has occurred and the AirCard is inoperable. Close Watcher

and restart your PC.
