1.4 Status Indicators

At the bottom of every screen, you also see two status indicators to keep you in the know.

Whispernet Status Indicators

The Whispernet status indicator shows you whether the wireless radio is turned on or off, the signal strength of your Whispernet service, and the connection speed. Here are the possible indicators and their meaning.

The Whispernet service is active and your Kindle has a strong signal. The more bars that are ﬁlled in with black, the stronger the wireless signal.

The 1X letters at the top of the antenna icon indicate that your Kindle is connected to the 1XRTT wireless network which is slower than the usual Whispernet service. You will notice that your wireless activities take longer in this mode. Kindle will automatically switch back to the faster EVDO network when available.

Your antenna is black, but none of the bars are ﬁlled in. This means the wireless signal strength is too low to connect. You will not be able to connect to the Kindle Store, Your Media Library, Basic Web, Kindle NowNow, register your device, or receive your subscriptions.

The question mark at the top of the antenna icon means Whispernet is checking for signal strength. This usually lasts less than 30 seconds.

The battery is too low to power the Whispernet service. You must charge your Kindle battery to restore wireless service.

The Whispernet service is turned off. You must turn on the wireless switch on the back of your Kindle to restore Whispernet service (if available).

Battery Status Indicators

The battery status indicator shows the approximate battery charge level. Here are the possible states.

You have your Kindle plugged in to the AC adapter and the battery is charging. The charge indicator light on the bottom of your Kindle will also light up.

The images above show the various states of the battery as it discharges. As you deplete the battery, less of the battery indicator will be ﬁlled in.

When the battery gets too low to power the Whispernet service, you will see this battery indicator. The Whispernet service has been powered down and you should charge your battery soon.
