Call Status Area
The
Call
Status
Area
displays
messages
related
to
the
status
or
progress
of
a
connection.
Where
a
duration
timer
is
shown,
timing
begins
when
the
call
is
initiated—not
from
the
time
the
call
is
fully
connected.
This
is
a
measure
of
the
time
the
Compass
USB
modem
has
been
using
the
radio
channel
(a
wireless
network
resource).
“
Click this display to exit PowerSave mode
”
indicates
that
the
Compass
USB
modem
could
not
find
a
system
within
a
15 minute
interval.
To
conserve
power,
the
Compass
USB
modem
reduces
channel
scanning
to
once
every
three
minutes.
To
force
the
Compass
USB
modem
out
of
PowerSave
mode,
click
in
the
Call
Status
Area.
The
Compass
USB
modem
performs
a
channel
scan
and,
if
no
network
is
detected,
returns
to
PowerSave
mode.
When the indicator has a gray background, the network
connection is dormant. (You are connected, but there is
currently no traffic.)
When the indicator has a darker background, you have
a data connection on the wireless service.
The Roaming Status indicator shows whether you are
roaming onto the network of a service provider other
than your own.
When the indicator is off (gray), you are within the local
coverage area of your service provider. When the
indicator is on (solid black), you are in a “preferred”
roaming area. When the indicator is blinking, you are
within the coverage area of a CDMA network but not in
a “preferred” roaming area.
Your coverage area and account charges depend upon
your service provider and the type of account you
have. There may be surcharges for roaming service
that vary based on whether you are in a preferred or
non-preferred roaming area. If there is no roaming
agreement between your service provider and the local
carrier, you may be unable to complete calls.
