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).

AirCard could not find a  system within a 15 minute interval. 
To conserve power, the AirCard reduces channel scanning to 
once every three minutes. To force the AirCard out of 
PowerSave mode, click in the Call Status Area. The AirCard 
performs a channel scan and, if no network is detected, returns 
to PowerSave mode.
