Automatic Mode Indicator
Normally, the Sprint SmartView software will select a network to connect to using the criteria
described in “Network Profile Priority” on page 66 and then proceed to establish a
connection to that network automatically
. However, it will switch to manual connection
mode for an individual connection technology when you manually connect or disconnect
from a network that uses that technology.
The Automatic Mode Indicator lights up when the
automatic connection feature is enabled.
It will remain lit as long as the overall feature is enabled, even if automatic connection for
specific technologies has been disabled by manually connecting or disconnecting.
● Click
this indicator to disable the automatic connection feature for all technology
types. The indicator will dim.
● Click this
indicator again to re-enable automatic connection for all technology types.
The indicator will illuminate once more.
