Data Connection Status and Indicators
Your device displays the current status of your data connection through the status area at the
top of the screen. The following symbols are used:
Your device is connected to the high-speed Sprint Mobile Broadband Network (3G). When the
arrows are animated, your device is transferring data (for example, when you are opening a
Web page); when the arrows are gray, your device is connected to the network but is not
currently transferring data (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely
open). In either state, you can receive incoming calls.
Your device is connected to the Sprint 1xRTT data network. When the arrows are animated,
your device is transferring data and you cannot receive calls. When the arrows are gray, your
device is connected to the network but is not currently transferring data and you can receive
calls.
