Reading the Cellular Telephone Signal
The OMEGA configuration program uses a bar graph as a visual
indication of the cellular telephone’s receive signal strength. Using
this feature, you can see whether the OMEGA’s cellular telephone
is in an area where cellular reception is strong or weak.
1. With the Main Menu in Figure 4-2 displayed, press 1 at the ?
prompt. A bar graph similar to the one in Figure 4-3 appears,
showing the receive signal strength of the OMEGA’s cellular
telephone. The value shown to the left of the signal bar shows
the receive signal level. A value of –80 or above indicate a
strong signal. A value of –90 is normal. Values lower than -90
(such as –100 or –110) indicate a weak signal.
