AirCard 555 Network Card User Guide
Note: Optimal signal strength is obtained when the antenna is perpendicular to the AirCard.
Connection Status Area
The Connection Status area uses these icons:
Table 4-1: Connection Status Area Icons

|
| The Signal Strength indicator uses bars to |
| show the intensity of the radio signal. The |
| number of bars increases as signal |
| strength increases to a maximum of five |
| bars. |
| When the bars are dimmed and the |
| antenna icon is crossed out, no connection |
| is possible for one of these reasons: |
| • No antenna is attached |
| • You are outside the CDMA network |
| coverage area |
| • The signal strength is too weak |
| • A network or account problem is |
| preventing the AirCard 555 from |
| obtaining service |
|
|
| 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 1xRTT data |
| 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. |
