About your phone

• About the Start screen

When you turn on your phone, the first screen that appears is the Start screen. In the middle of the Start screen, you see information indicating which wireless network your phone uses. This information can vary between phones. Other indicators and icons appear on this Start screen and are described in the next section.

About indicators and icons

On your phone, you have two types of identifiers: indicators and icons.

Indicators

Indicators show the status of something. The phone uses three types of indicators:

•Signal strength indicator: Shows the strength of the signal to your phone.

•Battery power indicator: Shows how much power is left in your phone’s battery.

•Volume indicator: Shows the earpiece

volume level. Adjust the volume level with the earpiece volume buttons on the left side of the phone (see “Adjust the earpiece volume during a call” on page 17).
