The Minimize, Toggle Full/
Compact, and Close Boxes
The diagram on page 116 shows the location of the minimize,
toggle full/compact, and close boxes.
• The Minimize button closes the Watcher window but leaves
the application running. When Watcher is minimized, the
Watcher icon in the status area can be used to determine
the AirCard status. (The status area icons are described in
the next section.)
• The Toggle Full/Compact button is used to switch between
the full Watcher window and the compact view:
The compact view allows you to see connection status
information while you use other applications. (More infor-
mation is provided on page 134.)
• The Close button is used to exit Watcher.
Taskbar Icons
Watcher displays an icon in the status area (which is usually
located in the lower right corner of your screen). The status
area icon indicates your connection status or notifies you when
you have voice mail or SMS messages, or when you have
missed a call.
The privacy indicator shows whether
encryption is in use on voice calls.
(Encryption prevents your calls from being
monitored.) The AirCard uses encryption
where it is available on the network.
The compression indicator shows whether
V.42bis compression is in use. In future
releases, the AirCard will use V.42bis
where available on the network, to increase
throughput and the effective data
transmission speed. (V.42 compression is
not supported in this release.)
