Understanding the Status Bar
The Status Bar at the top of the display screen provides a constant
indicator of unit function.
From left-to-right, the Status Bar displays the wireless phone signal
strength, the current status of your phone call (in- call active, In Call
Encrypted, In call Mute, Incoming Call and No Service), current messages
(indicating SMS, Info Messages, Voice Mail, and Position Reports), whether or
not you are roaming outside your service area, vibrator On/Off, backlight On,
power source (battery or external power and capacity if using the battery),
and GPS status ( Simulating, Active, Position Fix Status, Differential GPS, or Off).
The Time and Date Display
The current Time and Date are displayed only when the Main Menu
page is active.
To set the time and your current time zone, refer to Time Settings on
page 97. On the ‘Time’ page of the ‘Settings’ section you will be able to
access the ‘Set Time’ page to set the date, current time, and select the proper
time zone. The ‘Time’ settings page also allows you to select a time format
(12 or 24 hour), and to activate/deactivate daylight savings time options.
The Service Status Indicator (LED)
The current service status is indicated by an LED located at the top of the
unit next to the wireless antenna (see page 3). When the Service Status feature
is turned On, the LED will: Flash Red when no service is available, Flash
Amber when roaming, Flash Green when service is available, stay Solid Amber
when in a call while roaming, and stay Solid Green when in a call with service
from your home network provider. Refer to Network Settings on page 57 for
