Section 2: Understanding Your Device 21
Understanding the Display Screen
Display Screen Icons
Signal strength — Always appears when your device is on and
indicates the current signal strength. More lines indicate higher signal
strength.
Service indicator — Indicates a call in progress. When dialing a
number, this icon flashes until the call connects.
No service indicator — Indicates your device cannot find a signal
because you’re outside a service area. You cannot make or receive calls.
Wait for a signal or move into an open area to try and find a signal. The
no service indicator always appears when you turn on your device and
disappears once service is located.
Roam — Roaming occurs when you use your device outside your home
area. While roaming, a wireless provider other than yours handles your
call, so the service rate for the call may be higher than those made
within your home area. Please refer to information from your Wireless
Provider on roaming rates.
New Message — Indicates that you’ve received a new text, page, or
web alert message. You’re also notified by a visual and audible alert.
Text Message — Indicates that you’ve received a new text message.
Voicemail — Indicates that you’ve received a new voice message.
Battery strength — Indicates the battery charge level. The more black
bars, the greater the charge. When the battery becomes very low, a
flashing empty battery icon displays and the device sounds an audible
alert, which indicates your device is about to shut down.
Alarm clock — The alarm clock is set.
Ring Only — Ring Vibration has been set to Ring Only using the
Settings menu. When you receive a call, the device rings.
