The Signal Strength indicator (displayed in the left part of the Connection Status Area) uses bars to show the intensity of the radio signal. The number of bars increases as signal strength increases to a maximum of five bars.

Indicates whether 1xEV-DO Rev. A is available in this area.

Indicates whether 1xEV-DO Rev. 0 is available in this area.

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.

The In Use indicator shows whether a call is in progress. No icon is displayed when the AirCard USB modem is idle. Otherwise, one of these icons is displayed:

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

A high-speed (1xEV-DO Rev. 0) packet data call is in progress.
