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.
