Data Connection Status and Indicators

Your device displays the current status of your data connection through indicators at the top of the screen. The following symbols are used:

Your device is connected to the high-speed Sprint Mobile Broadband Network (EVDO). When the arrows are white, your device is transferring data (for example, when you are opening a Web page); when the triangles are gray, your device is connected to the network but is not currently transferring data (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open). In either state, you can receive incoming calls.

Your device is on and is connected to the Sprint 1xRTT data network. When the arrows are white, your device is transferring data (for example, when you are opening a Web page) and you cannot receive calls. When the arrows are gray, your device is connected to the network but is not currently transferring data (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open), and you can receive calls.

If you do not see an indicator, your device does not have a current data connection. To launch a connection, see “Launching a Web Connection” on page 86.
