About your phone
• About the Start screen
When you turn on your phone, the first
screen that appears is the Start screen.
In the middle of the Start screen, you see
information indicating which wireless
network your phone uses. This information
can vary between phones. Other indicators
and icons appear on this Start screen
and are described in the next section.
About indicators and icons
On your phone, you have two types of identifiers: indicators and icons.
Indicators
Indicators show the status of something. The phone uses three types of
indicators:
• Signal strength indicator: Shows the strength of the signal to your
phone.
• Battery power indicator: Shows how much
power is left in your phone’s battery.
• Volume indicator: Shows the earpiece
volume level. Adjust the volume level with
the earpiece volume buttons on the left
side of the phone (see “Adjust the earpiece
volume during a call” on page 17).
