∙You are outside of a CDMA network coverage area
∙The signal strength is too weak
∙A network problem is preventing the PC3220 from obtaining service
∙The Mobile Connection Manager is not turned on or the PC3220 has not been inserted
∙The antenna is not raised to a 90° angle

The Data Compression icon appears when the Fourelle Venturi 2.1 data compression tool is active.

The Roaming Status icon indicates the roaming status of your PC3220. When the indicator is “on” (solid black) you are roaming within a “preferred” roaming area. When the icon is blinking, you are roaming within a CDMA network, but not in a “preferred” zone.
