The number in each panel indicates
how many people are in that chat room.
If the total number of participants is
already at maximum (16/16), you
cannot join that chat room.
The icon on the right side of the box
indicates the signal strength for
communicating with that chat room.
See Wireless Signal Strength on page15
for information about this icon.
NOTE: If you have problems communicating
with other members of a chat room, have
everyone switch to a different chat room.
Also, review the communication guidelines
on page 15 and check for interference.

chat room you have selected.
For a complete description of how to use PictoChat, see the
