The next segment of the SHOUT app display is the status bar located between the Title
bar and the Menu / Function area. Below is a list of status icons and their meanings:
Denotes the Iridium transceiver is off. To preserve battery life, the Iridium
transceiver will only be turned on when transmitting a message or position
report and, thus, a diagonal line is drawn over the symbol when off.
Denotes either: (1) the Iridium transceiver is on with real-time signal strength
represented by the number of vertical bars or (2) SBD message transmission is
in progress. The signal strength can range from the lowest of zero to the
highest of five bars. During transmission the antenna must have a clear view of
the sky. Due to variable signal attenuation for different structures, the device
cannot reliably send messages or reports from inside a building.
