Denotes the Iridium transceiver is off. To preserve battery life, the Iridium transceiver
is only turned on when transmitting a message or position report; 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.
Denotes the GPS receiver is off. The GPS receiver is always kept off to preserve
battery life until time, date, or position information is needed.
Denotes the GPS receiver is on with real-time satellite acquisition status represented
by the number of vertical bars. One bar represents valid time and date fix, two bars
represent 2-D fix or dead reckoning, three bars represent 3-D fix with HDOP higher
than 2.0, and four bars represent 3-D fix with HDOP less than 2.0. Although the GPS
receiver can often obtain a location fix when the antenna is partially blocked (near
buildings, in a room next to a window, etc.), the antenna should have a clear view of
the sky to minimize acquisition time and increase position accuracy.
Battery charge indicator.
Denotes the battery is being charged by an external power source.
Denotes all audio is off.
Denotes audio is on.
Denotes one or more unread messages are in the Inbox.
Denotes one or more messages are in the Outbox ready to be sent, or one or more

Denotes geofences is on when the symbol is bright white. The symbol turns dimmed
gray when geofence tracking is off. The geofence symbol does not appear when
there are no fences saved into the device.
Denotes Call Out is on when the symbol is bright white. The symbol turns dimmed
gray when Call Out is off. The Call Out symbol does not appear when there are no
Call Out times saved into the device.
