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 AirCard has been using the radio
channel (a wireless network resource).
“
Click this display to exit PowerSave mode” indicates that the
AirCard could not find a CDMA system within a 15 minute
interval. To conserve power, the AirCard reduces channel
scanning to once every three minutes. To force the AirCard out
of PowerSave mode, click in the Call Status Area. The AirCard
performs a channel scan and, if no network is detected, returns
to PowerSave mode.
The In Use indicator shows whether a call is in progress. No icon is displayed when the
AirCard is idle. Otherwise, one of these icons is displayed:
A voice call is in progress.
A circuit switched data call is in progress.
A high-speed (1X) packet data call is in progress.
A high-speed (1X) packet data connection is dormant; the radio channel
has been released allowing you to make and receive voice calls. You
can resume data transmission (when not in a voice call) without the
need of re-establishing the connection.
Some applications may not be able to function on a dormant
connection.
A fatal error has occurred and the AirCard is inoperable. (This may be
resolved by closing Watcher and restarting your PC.)
