Data Connection Status and Indicators
Your phone displays the current status of your data
connection through indicators at the top of the screen.
The following symbols are used:
Your data connection is active (data is being
transferred); the transmit/receive symbol will
blink to indicate data transmission. During data
usage, you can receive incoming voice calls or
SMS messages; outgoing voice calls can be
made, but the data services connection will
terminate.
Your data connection is dormant (no data is
being sent or received). Though not currently
active, when dormant the phone can restart an
active connection quickly; voice calls can be
made and received.
If no indicator is displayed, your phone does not have a
current data connection. To launch a connection, see
“Launching a Web Connection” on page 145.
