Getting to Know Your Wherifone G500 Series GPS Locator Phone

Main Display

Important information about the status and features of the Wherifone appear in the main display. There are three types of displays on the Wherifone:

Icon Display: The top icons show the vital Wherifone functions.

Scrolling Display: The middle line is scrolling text that indicates carrier, locate, and other status information.

Message Display: The bottom line shows the date and time during regular use.

Signal Strength

The number of bars in the Signal Strength icon indicates the strength of the GSM network signal the Wherifone is receiving. More bars mean a stronger GSM signal. The Wherifone uses the GSM network for all communication activities: making calls, receiving calls, receiving pages, receiving location requests, and sending location reports to the Global Location Service Center.

If the signal strength is low or non-existent, your Wherifone may not be able to receive a location request, send its location information, or make incoming or outgoing phone calls.
