Note: Watcher begins timing outgoing calls from the time the call is initiated—not from the time the call is answered.

Meaning

 

 

When the In Use indicator is a modem labelled “1X”, an Express Network data call is in progress. (For a description of Express Network data calls, see page 134.)

When the In Use indicator is a large “X”, an error has occurred and the AirCard is inoperable. (This may be resolved by closing Watcher and turning your PC off and on.)

The Call Status Box displays one of these messages:

Ready to Connect indicates that you have a network connection but there is no call in progress.

Dialing indicates that the AirCard is attempting to connect to a phone number.
