AirCard 555 Network Card User Guide

Table 11-1: Connection Status Area Icons

Icon

Meaning

 

 

The 1x indicator shows whether 1xRTT is available in this area.

Where 1xRTT packet service is available, you can make high speed Express Network data connections, if your billing plan allows for it. (Depending on your billing plan, there may be a surcharge for Express Network connections.)

Note that this indicator does not distinguish between voice service and packet service. If you are in an area where 1xRTT voice service is available, this indicator may be on although packet service is not 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 billing 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 roaming area or a 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 in non-preferred roaming areas.

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

When the In Use indicator is a handset, a voice call is in progress.

When the In Use indicator is a modem, a data call is in progress.
