Tour
• The Cellular Signal Strength - is indicated by
an antenna with 1 to 5 signal bars. The number of bars
shows the strength of the signal received by your
Navtalk. No bars means you may not be able to call.
The display will change as you move with your
unit. If the signal is not strong enough to place a call,
try moving to a different location.
• The phone “In Use” indicator (displayed
during placed or answered call) - this symbol
appears whenever you answer or place a phone call.
When there is no call activity this space is blank or
replaced by the Auto-Answer or Pager icon when these
features are selected. Refer to page 47. When the
microphone is muted an “M” will appear next to the
“In Use” icon. The “Auto-Data” icon appears when
location data is transmitting.
• The Roaming Status - (H means Home, A or
B means roaming A or B, and P means roaming on a
preferred SID).
The term “roaming” applies to the use of your
NavTalk within systems other than those designated as
your “home” system. As your NavTalk begins to roam,
it seeks service according to the conditions you have
selected. Contact your system operator, or that of the visit-
ed system, for information on billing and dialing services.
When the phone is not communicating with the
cellular system, either because the system is down or
the phone is out of range, the words “No Service” are
displayed on the top line in place of the indicators
described above. “Cellular Off” means the phone is off,
but allows access to all cellular pages. You cannot send
or receive calls with the exception of using Emergency
Calling. Refer to page 60.
When the phone is not operating properly the
words “Service Unit” are displayed on the top line and
the phone cannot be used for calls.
The bottom line provides some general purpose
information in addition to the current GPS status.
Three indicators are displayed:
• The Power/Battery Status - (battery gauge,
external plug-in or fast charge icon). The amount of
shading left in the battery icon shows the amount of
charge left in the battery pack. The more shading you
see, the greater the charge. When the battery pack is
low, the NavTalk alerts you in the following ways:
• ‘Empty icon’—No charge left.
• ‘Low Battery’ message, followed by a periodic tone.
