· Tables that show the coverage type, RSSI, and Ec/Io (for 3G) or CINR (for
4G).
RSSI reflects the signal strength of the network.
Ec/Io is a dimensionless ratio of the average power of a channel, typically
the pilot channel, to the total signal power.
CINR stands for Carrier to Interference-plus-Noise Ratio, and is a
measurement of signal effectiveness.
The first table also shows the type(s) of 3G service you have: 1X, 1xEV-DO,
or both. (To determine whether you have EV-DO Rev. 0 or Rev. A service, use
the text near the 3G icon; see
on page

Configuring the 3G/4G Connection Preferences
The value determines which network(s) to connect to, and in what order:
4G Preferred
•
— Connection can be established to either 3G or 4G; if both are
available, 4G is used. This setting is recommended if your service provider
has no data limit for 4G, but does for 3G, or you want to take advantage of the
faster data transfer speeds of 4G.
4G Only
•
— Connection can be established only to 4G.
3G Only
•
— Connection can be established only to 3G.
If you don't have 4G coverage, you can save power by selecting "3G Only".
