Display indicators (or icons) appear across the top of your

phone’s display screen. The signal strength and battery

strength icons will always appear, but other icons appear

based your phone’s operating mode.

Signal strength:

This icon always appears when your

phone is on, and shows your current signal strength.

More lines indicate more signal strength. Four lines

indicate maximum strength, and one line indicates least

strength.

Service indicator:

This icon indicates a call is in

progress. If there is trouble with signal strength, this

indicator will have a diagonal line through it.

No service indicator:

This icon indicates your phone

cannot find a signal because you’re outside a service area.

When this is displayed, you cannot make or receive calls.

Wait a little while for a signal or move into an open area.
