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.
