• About the Start screen
When you turn on your phone, the first screen
that appears is the Start screen. In the middle of
the Start screen, you see information indicating
which wireless network your phone uses. This
information can vary between phones. Other
indicators and icons appear on this Start screen
and are described in “Icons” on page 16.
About indicators and icons
On your phone, you have two types of identifiers: indicators and icons.
Indicators
Indicators show the status of something. The phone uses three types of
indicators:
•
Signal strength indicator:
Shows the strength of the signal to your phone.
•
Battery power indicator:
Shows how much power is left in your phone’s battery.
•
Volume indicator:
Shows the earpiece volume level. Adjust the
volume level with the scroll keys (see “Adjust
the earpiece volume during a call” on page 19).
