Checking status—the status bar
The status bar provides the following information when the phone is on.
The phone is operating in CDMA digital mode. If this icon isn’t
present, the phone is either in analog mode or there is no service.
The phone is outside of its home area (roaming).
This icon shows the current signal strength. The more lines you
see, the stronger the signal. When this icon appears, you can
make and receive calls. If the signal strength is very low, you
may not be able to complete a call.
The phone is not receiving a signal. You cannot make or receive
calls. Wait a little longer or move to an open area.
A call is in progress.
You have a text message, voice mail, or page.
When in conversation, your phone is operating with enhanced
CDMA voice privacy (if available from your service provider).
This icon shows how much power remains in the battery. The
more black bars you see, the greater the charge.
