Reading the Indicators
Signal Strength Indicator (1)
The Signal Strength Indicator (SSI) indicates the strength of
your phone’s connection with the local cellular system. A
strong signal increases your chances of placing and receiving
calls. Low signal strength can occur in a fringe area of the
cellular system. Buildings, tunnels, and bad weather can
block or interfere with reception.
Digital Indicator (2)
If you are in a digital coverage area, the indicator illuminates.
In Use Indicator (3)
The In Use (IU) Indicator illuminates when a call is in
progress.
Roam Indicator (4)
The Roam (Rm) Indicator flashes when the phone accesses a
cellular service outside your local system. When you leave
your service area, your phone roams or seeks another cellular
system until it finds one. If your phone finds another service
of the same system type as your local service, the Roam
Indicator will illuminate. If it finds a different system type, it
flashes.
In-Building Indicator (5)
The In-Building Indicator ( ) lights when the phone
accesses an In-Building Cellular System or other non-public
system.
No Service Indicator (6)
If you travel beyond the range of a cellular system, the No
Service (NS) Indicator illuminates to let you know that calls
cannot be placed or received from your location.
