Connection Status Area

The Connection Status Area uses the icons shown in the following

table.

Table 6-1: Connection Status Area icons

Icon Meaning

AirCard ExpressCard not detected (displayed in the left part of the Connection

Status Area).

The Signal Strength indicator (displayed in the left part of the Connection

Status Area) 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:

• You are outside the CDMA network coverage area

• The signal strength is too weak

• A network or account problem is preventing the AirCard

ExpressCard from obtaining service

Indicates whether 1xEV-DO Rev. A is available in this area.

Indicates whether 1xEV-DO Rev. 0 is available in this area.

Indicates whether 1X is available in this area. (Not displayed if 1xEV-DO is

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 account 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 or 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.

The In Use indicator shows whether a call is in progress. No icon is displayed when the

AirCard ExpressCard is idle. Otherwise, one of these icons is displayed:

A high-speed (1xEV-DO Rev. A) packet data call is in progress.

A high-speed (1xEV-DO Rev. 0) packet data call is in progress.

A high-speed (1X) packet data call is in progress.
