The In Use indicator shows whether a call is in progress. No icon is displayed when
the AirCard is idle. Otherwise, one of these icons is displayed:

A high-speed (1X) packet data call is in progress.
A circuit switched data call is in progress.
A high-speed (1X or 1xEV-DO) packet data connection is dormant; the
radio channel has been released allowing you to make and receive
voice calls. You can resume data transmission without the need of re-
establishing the connection.
Some applications may not be able to function on a
connection.
A fatal error has occurred and the AirCard is inoperable. Close Watcher
and restart your PC.
Call Status Area
The Call Status Area displays messages related to the status or
progress of a connection.
Where a duration timer is shown, timing begins when the call
is initiated—not from the time the call is fully connected. This
is a measure of the time the AirCard has been using the radio
channel (a wireless network resource).

To conserve power, the AirCard reduces channel scanning to

PowerSave mode, click in the Call Status Area. The AirCard
performs a channel scan and, if no network is detected, returns
to PowerSave mode.
