The text and icons in the Mobile Broadband window indicate the connection state

(page 50), and, when disconnected, whether the card is locked or unlocked (page 67).

The Mobile Broadband window may display, depending on the connection state, some of the following icons:

CDMA network signal strength, indicated by the number of bars.

The ToolTip indicates the type of coverage you have (for example, 1X or 1xEV-DO), and the signal strength, in dBm.

If this icon is flashing, you are in a non-preferred roaming area, and you may not be able to complete your calls.

Tip: You can change the roaming option (“Roam Mode;” for example, to disable roaming, select Sprint), and also enable the Roam Guard feature (from the Sprint Mobile Broadband “Settings” window; page 80).

1xEV-DO Rev. A transmit/receive icon: a data connection is active.

The up arrow is animated (for example: ) when data is being transmitted to the network.

The down arrow is animated (for example: ) when data is being received from the network.
