Using the background monitoring icon

background monitoring" on page 5-10.)
Double-clicking the background monitoring icon opens the

dialog box will appear in front of other windows on the desktop.
This pop-up menu also allows you to deactivate the Status
Monitor. When you deactivate the Status Monitor, the
background monitoring icon disappears from the taskbar.
