Broadband Products PC5220 Network Card User Manual


 
3. Roaming Status
The Roaming Status icon indicates the roaming status of your PC5220. When you are roaming,
you are using the network of another service provider that offers coverage outside of your local
coverage area. This typically happens when you are out of your coverage area.
When the indicator is “on” (solid black) you are roaming within a “preferred”
roaming area. When the icon is blinking, you are roaming within a CDMA
network, but not in a “preferred” zone.
When the indicator is “off” (dimmed), you are within the Monet Mobile local
coverage area. You are not roaming.
4. Connection Indicator
The Connection Indicator icon signifies that a connection is established. The icon will flash while
you are in the process of connecting and will then remain static once you are connected.
If the Connection Indicator icon is gray, there is no connection nor is a connection attempt in
process.
5. Connection Time
The Connection Time field displays the duration of the current data call or connection. The timer
begins as soon as a connection is established. The time format is 00hrs: 00min: 00sec.
6. Byte Counter
The Byte Counter displays the amount of data transferred and received during as soon as a
connection is established in measurements of Kilobytes and Megabytes.
For 0 to 999KB: “XXX KB” format (I.e., “7 KB,” “68 KB,” or “768 KB”)
For 1MB and up: “XXX.X MB” format (I.e., “1.0 MB,” “3.2 MB” or “343.3 MB”)
Note:
Your coverage area and billing charges depend upon your service provider and the type of account you
have. There may be surcharges for roaming service that varies based on whether you are in a preferred
roaming area or a non-preferred roaming area. If there is no roaming agreement between your service
p
rovider and the local carrier, you may be unable to complete calls in a non-preferred zone and the
Roaming Status Icon will remain
off
