Using Your Device
If you click an icon or the text, a window opens with additional information, as shown in the following
screenshot.
If you’re logged in, the window may also display configurable settings.
Signal Information
Click the signal strength icon to display the Signal Quality window. The window displays:
●
The active network — the network that is currently being used for your data connection. For
example, “3G (EVDO Rev A).”
●
3G or 4G status:
±
Connection status. For example, “Connected.”
±
Tables that show the coverage type, RSSI, and Ec/Io (for 3G) or CINR (for 4G).
RSSI reflects the signal strength of the network.
Ec/Io is a dimensionless ratio of the average power of a channel, typically the pilot channel, to
the total signal power.
Note:
A more complete set of configurable settings is available in the
Advanced Settings
window. (See
“Advanced Settings” on page 49.)

Using Your Device
CINR stands for Carrier to Interference-plus-Noise Ratio and is a measurement of signal
effectiveness.
The first table also shows the type(s) of 3G service you have: 1X, 1xEV-DO, or both. (To
determine whether you have EV-DO Rev. 0 or Rev. A service, use the text near the 3G icon;
see “Mobile Broadband Information and Settings” on page 41.)
●
Scan for 4G
button (available only if 4G is in power save mode — the LCD of the device displays
“Power Save Mode. 4G Network not found”). Click this button to search for and attempt to
connect to a 4G network. (Whether or not a connection to 4G occurs depends on the WAN
Mode setting; see “Setup Panel” on page 76.)
See also “Improving Signal Strength” on page 120.
Mobile Broadband Information and Settings
The 3G or 4G icon indicates the service and connection state. Note that only one icon is shown
(the active network).
The text next to the icon displays the connection status, for example, “No service,” or “Connected.”
Click the icon to display the Mobile Broadband Information window. The window displays:
●
The active network — the network that is currently being used for your data connection. For
example, “4G” or “3G (EVDO Rev A).”
●
3G and 4G status. For example, “Connected.”
●
Connection Preferences
(if you’re logged in).
Configuring the 3G/4G Connection Preferences
The value determines which network(s) to connect to, and in what order:
●
3G Preferred
— Connection can be established to either 3G or 4G; if both are available, 3G is
used.
●
4G Preferred
— Connection can be established to either 3G or 4G; if both are available, 4G is
used. This setting is recommended if your service provider has no data limit for 4G, but does
for 3G, or you want to take advantage of the faster data transfer speeds of 4G.
●
3G Only
— Connection can be established only to 3G.
●
4G Only
— Connection can be established only to 4G.
Tip:
If 4G is in power save mode, you can also scan for 4G from the “Network Status” LCD information
screen. (See “LCD Information Screens” on page 17.)
or
You have no service. Try the suggestions in “Cannot Connect to the 3G or 4G
Network” on page 129.
or
You have service but are not connected.
or
You have service and are connected.

Alert Information
The alerts icon indicates whether there are any alerts (situations that require your attention).
The text next to the icon indicates the number of alerts.
Click the icon to display the Alert window. (For more information, see “Alerts” on page 34.)
GPS Information and Settings
The text next to the icon displays the GPS status, for example, “GPS not enabled” or “GPS searching
for satellites.”
Click the icon to display the GPS Information and Settings window. The window shows the GPS status
and, if available, location information, including:
●
HEPE
— The Horizontal Estimated Position Error reflects accuracy (horizontal/vertical precision).
●
Timestamp
— This indicates the time of the last fix.
Note:
To view alert information, you must be logged in. New alerts are checked upon device power-up.
That is, if an event occurs, you won’t be notified until the device is restarted.
No alerts are available.
One or more alerts are available.
GPS is off (not enabled).
Before you can use GPS, you must accept the GPS privacy agreement and
enable GPS. (See “GPS Privacy Agreement” on page 35 and “Enabling
GPS” on page 55.)
GPS is on and available. (The GPS privacy agreement has been accepted,
and GPS is enabled.)
(flashing)
GPS is active (acquiring a location fix).
Note:
For best results, minimize the number of obstructions between your device and the GPS satellites.
