When the modem is searching for a base station, the four outside spirals on the
outer center of the display will illuminate in a clockwise direction. Each spiral will
illuminate for one second on and three seconds off during the base station search
process.
% Signal Strength and Transmit and Receive Indicator (5 Rings)
The five rings on the inner center of the display indicate the radio signal strength.
When the center ring (or dot) is illuminated, you have the minimum signal strength
required to transmit and receive data. Each subsequent ring indicates increasing
signal strength. When all five rings are illuminated, you can transfer data at the
maximum speed of the [IPWireless] Broadband Modem, or at the service level you
select. The rings also show data transmit and receive activity. The rings will flicker
when data is transferring.

Connection Status indicator (IPW logo) will illuminate when the unit is ON. The
display will go into a power-saving dimmed mode after two minutes. The
Connection Status indicator flashes at a low rate to show that it is still on.
) Connection Status Indicator (2 Ovals)
The two oval rings with the IPW logo show the connection status. The inner oval will be
illuminated when a base station has been located. The outer oval will illuminate when
you are connected to the Internet.
